DESCRIPTION:
The wedding was meant to unite two warring families. But when it ends in murder, Eve Mallow must solve the crime and save the day!
The Dennings and the Cadys have been at war for years – ever since Russell Cady and Marcus Denning fell out and the business they built together fell apart. But now Russell’s daughter and Marcus’s son are tying the knot… and hopefully bringing peace.
Except that someone’s sent Eve Mallow a warning along with her wedding invitation: watch out for trouble. But even she didn’t expect to find the father of the bride dead in his bed before he can walk his daughter down the aisle. So who’s ruined the big day? Is it Marcus, his former enemy? His two older children, who fought with him before he died? Or the woman Eve saw weeping, who swears they never met?
Eve is left with a bouquet of mismatched clues to piece together: the umbrellas left out on a sunny day, Russell’s missing camera, and his threat to change his will. And when a second mysterious death puts the icing on the cake, Eve makes her own vow – death will not part the happy couple. But can she track down the killer, or will the wedding bells ring for her funeral instead?
A perfectly puzzling murder mystery which will have you turning the pages till the surprising solution! Fans of Emylia Hall, Fiona Leitch and Agatha Christie will adore Clare Chase.

Weddings are meant to celebrate the union of two people and the joining of their families. Unfortunately, the long-standing feud between the bride’s father and the groom’s father makes this wedding anything but harmonious. When Eve Mallow receives an invitation to the event, she is unsettled by its ominous wording. Her unease only deepens when she experiences dark, foreboding dreams the night before the ceremony.
Eve’s chilling premonitions prove to be well-founded. When the father of the bride is found dead, she is left with far more questions than answers. Once again, Eve steps beyond her role as an obituary writer and finds herself investigating a murder. As a wedding guest turned amateur detective, she puts her well-honed research skills to good use. After all, her reputation for digging into people’s histories while preparing obituaries provides the perfect cover for asking questions.
It quickly becomes clear that things do not add up at the scene of the crime. Determined to uncover the truth, Eve begins a thorough investigation, carefully piecing together clues and motives. The urgency of her search intensifies when another suspicious death occurs, making it clear that a killer is still at large.
Mystery at the Wedding is an engaging and entertaining cozy mystery filled with family tensions, hidden secrets, and plenty of twists. Clare Chase keeps the pacing brisk and the suspects plentiful, making it difficult to determine who can be trusted. Eve Mallow remains a charming and resourceful sleuth, and her latest case provides another enjoyable blend of mystery, intrigue, and amateur detective work. Fans of cozy mysteries will find this to be a satisfying and suspenseful addition to the series.
Like her heroines, Clare is fascinated by people and what makes them tick. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked in settings as diverse as Littlehey Prison and the University of Cambridge, in her home city. She’s lived everywhere from the house of a lord to a slug-infested flat and finds the mid-terrace she currently occupies a good happy medium.
As well as writing, Clare loves family time, art and architecture, cooking, and of course, reading other people’s books.
