Ms. Collier does a fine job in this tightly paced mystery. The plot has lots of twists and turns and keeps the reader turning the pages. Will the seeming curse of Foggy Grove keep another wedding from taking place? Where is the reluctant bride and why is her car parked alongside the road?
If you are a fan of Ms. Colliers, 'The writers Club, and Christmas at Cliffhanger Inn,' then this mystery is for you!
As an mystery author myself, I can appreciate this wonderful read!

This review is from: Something Borrowed, Something Blue (Paperback)

This book is different from her other ones in that it is one mystery instead of a collection of mysteries. She takes more time to develop the characters and the plot. The mystery is intriguing because you don't even suspect the true culprit. The mystery is masterfully built and the clues not real obvious. Again Christine has created a wonderful fireside easy read when you need a break from life.
