This story is more about Jane and Mel getting married and less about solving the murders. Jane is dealing with the details of planning a wedding, but she is also fending off the heavy handed actions of both her ex-mother-in-law and her future mother-in-law. Yikes! There is not much to like about either one, but while Jane tries to play nice with them, she also refuses to be bullied by either woman. It’s an entertaining tale, if you like to read about weddings and wedding problems, but the mystery falls by the wayside. ( )

Sadly, this is the final book in the Jane Jeffry Mystery series. It wasn't so much a mystery as it was a tying up of many of the story lines which have wound through the series over the years. Jane and Mel have finally decided to get married. Mel's Mom is determined torun the whole wedding, and Jane is standing up to her. Jane's first mother-in-law is trying to fleece Jane out of her fair share of the family's pharmacy business. Jane is also dealing with the publication of her first book. And, Mel wants Jane and Shelley to take a self-defense class, so he doesn't have to worry about them so much. It's a rather convoluted story, but the ending is relatively satisfying. ( )

Not enough mystery in this closing chapter of the Jane Jeffry mystery series. I enjoyed the story, but Jane wasn't involved enough in solving the case. ( )

Pleasant series finale, but storyline is weak. Ties all loose ends but the underlying story has no depth and seems a little contrived. ( )

i couldn't give this one any stars at all... it's really that bad!


i thought Ms. Churchill might be similar to Mary Kay Andrews whom I love... and I read Mary Kay's books when i need an uplifting read after a darker type novel... Mary Kay's books are fun, funny & easy to read....

i could not have been more wrong... Ms. Churchill left me slapping my head every so often saying, 'good grief, what was she thinking' ... she's pretty repetitive in ways... does not have good character or plot development and just generally all around non-satisfying reading for me, at least... and there's NO mystery in this mystery except how the heck did it get published!?!?!?!

the good thing was it only took about a day & a half of my 'free time' to read it... i sold the book as soon as i was done... this in fact is a statement of how i feel about it since i 'collect' books... i knew i would never again have the desire to pick this one up

i was comforted at least a little when i read the other reviews here, knowing then that i was not the only one that panned this book... any book to me is a treasure and it's just hard for me to believe that something like this would even get published

perhaps later on i might pick up one of the earlier jane jeffrey novels to see if they were ever worth reading... just to know
