My Thoughts - MURDER AT THE WEDDING by Christine Knapp

 


A Modern Midwife Mystery

  

Birth, death, mayhem, and murder…

Maeve O’Reilly Kensington loves her job as a nurse-midwife at Creighton Memorial Hospital in the quintessential New England seaside town of Langford. Nothing could bring her more pleasure than helping women usher new life into the world... except possibly having a child of her own with her husband, Will. In the meantime, she's happy to celebrate the families of those she treats, and content to support her husband in his newly formed catering business.

However when Creighton Memorial's Chief Obstetrician suddenly drops dead at his daughter’s extravagant wedding reception, catered by Will, Maeve's two worlds collide in the worst possible way. Suddenly murder is on the menu, and Maeve is desperate to help her husband and find out who killed the doctor.

With the help of her wealthy, acerbic sister Meg and quick-witted Boston Irish mother, Maeve sets out to solve a murder and clear her husband's name. Can she stay one step ahead of the killer? Or will they strike again... this time closer to home?

My Thoughts 


MURDER AT THE WEDDING is written by Christine Knapp.  This is the start  of the Modern Midwife series. I love being able to read and review new series. Especially ones like these where I couldn’t put it down. 


Maeve O’Reilly Kensington loves her job as a nurse-midwife at Creighton Memorial Hospital. She’s happily married. Her husband, Will has chosen to open a bakery instead of following in his families footsteps of the investment firm. He’s asked to cater the wedding of Dr. Whitaker’s daughter. Dr Whitaker is the head of OB/GYN and Maeve’s boss. When he drops dead suddenly Maeve is worried her husband will be to blame. 


This follows the traditional cozy mystery form. There’s enough mystery and humor woven together to start this series off with a bang. I really like how the author put a lot of different personalities with her characters. 

The story flowed nicely. 


Thank you to the author, publisher and Partners in Crime book tours for allowing me to read a copy of this book.  All thoughts are my own.
