About this ebook

From author Rosalie Spielman comes matrimony turned murderous!

 

Retired Army Lieutenant Colonel Tessa Treslow never thought that she'd be attending the wedding of her first love, Joe Eriksson, but that's exactly where she finds herself. Even worse, his fiancée has asked her to be the Maid of Honor!

 

But in the days leading up to the wedding, it becomes clear why Jessie St. John asked Tessa to stand with her, and it's not just her military-style organization. Between a meddling "best frenemy" who's doing her best to sabotage the wedding and an ex-husband falling—or being tossed—to his death, Tessa's investigative skills are once again put to the test.

 

The suspicious death of one of Jessie's ex-husbands in one thing. But when ex-husband number 2 is also found dead, theories are tossed around like a bride's bouquet. In order to help the wedding stay on track, Tessa needs to calm the bride, combat the frenemy, and make sure the flowers arrive, all while keeping sane.

 

Despite a state detective being brought in to solve the case, Tessa is forced to fight to keep the ones she loves and her home sweet home safe from the most diabolical killer she has faced yet.

 

" Clever & Compelling Gem! An excellent read and high on my list for 2023 honors."

~Kings River Life Magazine

 

"You will also fall in love with New Oslo and its residents and businesses. You will want to pack a bag and jump in your car and head there as fast as you can!"

I really enjoy these Hometown Mysteries! I love that both Gemma and Aunt Edna are veterans, shecanics and best friends. In Home Sweet Homicide, Tessa has been coerced into being "unofficial" maid of honor at her first love's wedding! It is the bride's fourth wedding. The bride's "best" friend turns up to help with wedding prep but sabotages things instead. Then the bride's ex-husbands start dying. It was fascinating to watch Tessa trying to keep the wedding on track, keep the frenemy from derailing things, keep the bride calm and keep everyone safe from the killer. I like to clear my calendar and spend the day in New Oslo whenever Ms. Spielman delivers another of her wonderfully plotted, twisted mysteries! You do not want to miss this exciting tale.
