The Case of the Beleaguered Bride the third book in the Nosy Parkers Mysteries by Debra E Marvin is an enjoyable fun cozy mystery I couldn't put down. It is a mixture of family, faith, friends with an intriguing mystery of murder wrapped around the past and politics of County Cork Ireland. It is the perfect setting for a cozy mystery and a great puzzle to figure out. I give it 5 stars.
Heather Munro has gone to County Cork for the wedding of friends Kat and Dan but with the murder of her Kath's ex-boyfriend things begin to fall apart at the seams. Heather is once again caught in the middle trying to help her friend figure out who is behind the murder and get things back on track but family secrets, politics and intrigue is making it unusually hard. Can Heather put all the pieces together before the threats she is getting puts her in danger too?
I love how this book sort of reminds me of classic mysteries. It has a kind, intelligent, nosy and relatable main character in Heather. She reminds me of a grown up Nancy Drew. She has a good mind and a kind heart which adds to the story. There is one person that from the start I knew she was not to be trusted and that was Trish. I didn't like her flippant flirty way and just knew she was trouble but she was full of surprises.
This book keeps you guessing from the start to the surprising end. It is written with great description of Cork and the surroundings where you can just picture journeying through it with Heather as she snoops around. I highly recommend this book. If you were a fan of Nancy Drew or Agatha Christie you will like this book. I highly recommend it.
