Book Description: The Country Cottage Inn is known for its hospitality. Leaving can be murder. My name is Bizzy Baker, and I can read minds. Not every mind, not every time, but most of the time, and believe me when I say, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s September and that means two things: fall is descending on Cider Cove and my wedding day is almost at hand. And as if preparing for my wedding wasn’t enough, there’s another wedding at the inn that I have to tend to. An old friend from college is getting married right here at the inn. Add a pushy mother-in-law to-be and a wedding party at war, and it’s enough to make me want to elope. But when someone in the wedding party ends up dead, it puts a damper on the festivities all the way around. Bizzy Baker runs the Country Cottage Inn, has the ability to pry into the darkest recesses of both the human and animal mind, and has just stumbled upon a body. With the help of her kitten, Fish, a mutt named Sherlock Bones, and an ornery yet dangerously good-looking homicide detective, Bizzy is determined to find the killer. Cider Cove, Maine is the premier destination for fun and relaxation. But when a body turns up, it’s the premier destination for murder.
It seems as though every recurring character from this mystery series is present once again, at some point, in this book. There are so many twists and turns in this whodunit, that it is difficult to identify the culprit before the big reveal scene. Aside from the murder, Bizzy finds out just before her wedding that some details from her past that she believed to be facts were not facts at all. Details that shaped and defined relationships. Will the newly discovered truths from her past alter any of her close relationships? As if that isn’t enough to deal with, the certainty of secrets that will soon be revealed may very possibly alter, or even destroy, even more close relationships.
This story is an entertaining, clean, fun, and easy read. I highly recommend reading this book if you enjoy being an arm-chair sleuth and welcome the addition of a bit of romance to enrich the story.

Bizzy Baker always lives up to her name! Running the Country Cottage Inn, planning weddings (one of which is her own) and investigating a murder and the disappearance of three local women…..if you like a variety of love, murder and mystery this will be the perfect book for you!
I love when I get to escape to Cider Cove and hang out with Bizzy, and the gang. It’s a busy time with fall descending the inn hosting a wedding, and Bizzy is down to the wire planning her own or trying to. Like the stresses of wedding planning isn’t hard enough, somebody goes and dies.
As per usual Addison and Bellamy bring us into a world that makes you seriously laugh out loud at the shenanigans Bizzy finds herself in. This one though also evoked tears and I’m still blaming it on the onions from last Tuesday if anybody asks.
Fingers crossed that we don’t have to wait to long for more with Bizzy, Jasper, Fish, and Sherlock!
BIZZY AND JASPER ARE GETTING MARRIED!!! But, not before one of Bizzy’s long time friends! Also, did I mention the need to solve not only a brutal murder, but a missing persons case as well? Bizzy is definitely living up to her name in this book!! Addison and Bellamy never stop amazing me with this series!!
What a great story. There’s romance, excitement, suspense, danger, a bit of magic, and a mysterious death to solve. What more could you want in a story?
In this addition to the Country Cottage Mysteries series Bizzy is preparing to get married, but she has nothing done and only a few weeks left until the big day arrives. On top of that, she now has a new murder mystery to solve. Using her transmundane ability of hearing the thoughts of people and animals alike, her and her posse of friends get into some dangerous situation in their quest for answers. Will Bizzy and her friends be able to find the clues and solve the crime?
If you haven’t began this series yet, you’re missing out. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys a good mystery. Also, while each of the books can all be read on their own, I suggest starting at the beginning for the best experience.
Well done to the authors on another amazing read.
While hosting a wedding and all of the great parties that come before it for a great friend of hers. Things go wrong at a magic show and one of the groomsmen dies.

She goes searching for the possible murderer and things for her wedding all at the same time. It takes her a while but she finally figures it out.
If you want to know who the murderer is or if Bizzy finally says I do then please get this book. You will love it.
