Do you enjoy cozy mysteries? Then Murder at the Wedding is a must read for you!!
I am a long time fan of M. A. Comley and have been reading her books for several years. So I was rather surprised when I came across this book, “A cozy mystery for M. A. Comley?” I said. Then I thought, Mel has written books in other genres so why not add cozy mysteries to that list? All I have to say is…..
What a Fabulous, Bloody Brilliant, and Fantastic Read!!
Murder at the Wedding captured my attention from the very first page and held me captive right up to an ending that I never could have imagined! Ruth and her boyfriend James are preparing to attend the “event of the year” in the small British Village that they live in, the wedding of Ruth’s best friend Geraldine. It is to be a wedding matching that of British Royalty and will be held at Carmel Cove Manor itself. What could possibly go wrong? After a murder happens at her wedding, Geraldine hires Ruth, who is also a PI, to investigate and solve the crime. There is just a little problem with doing this, Ruth will be going up against her nemesis on the force, Inspector Littlejohn. As Ruth uncovered more and more facts about the case, I kept changing my mind as to who I thought committed the dastardly deed, and at the end I wasn’t even close!!
This is the 1st book in a delightful new series by M. A. Comley, a series that I hope continues for a long time!!!
A wedding. A private investigator named Ruth Morgan who detests weddings, and the groom winds up murdered soon after the vows are exchanged. Whew – thus begins a brand new series by the hugely talented suspense writer, M.A. Comley, and what a treat it is.
Ruth Morgan, P.I., only attended because it was her best friend’s wedding. She sighs and smiles her way through it, but adrenaline spikes when her grieving friend asks her to investigate how her brand new husband wound up face down with a broken neck. Ruth is a terrific investigator who fast discovers two things: the groom was not well liked, and the inspector in charge is bad at her job. Ruth steps in.
There are several suspects, but who among them could have hated the groom enough to kill him? This cozy mystery has a real Agatha Christy feel to it, complete with secrets, back-stabbing, and wonderful characters like Ruth and her likeable boyfriend. This is a fabulous start to the new ‘Carmel Cove Mystery Series,’ with two more coming later this fall. Great news, great new series! Five stars!

This is the first novel in the Carmel Cove Cozy Mystery series. It’s well written with several characters that I hope will recur in future editions of this series. I really enjoyed how the characters interact with each other, especially Ruth and her boyfriend. The blend of personal and professional lend a air of credibility.
