Hannah Merrill is about to marry the love of her life…

The couple are determined their low-key celebration will go without a hitch, but there can’t be an ‘I do’ while the vicar is missing. And when he’s found dead – a victim of a poisoning – in the crypt behind the church, Hannah knows only she and Aunt Violet can find out who did it.

Hannah’s beloved thinks she shouldn’t interfere. But if he fails to remember that an independent woman in 1916 doesn’t do what she’s told to by a man, the dead vicar may be the least of his worries…

Then the vicar’s own fiancé appears on the scene, even though nobody knew he was engaged. And suddenly it becomes clear someone has a secret, one shocking enough to kill for.

Will the intrepid pair of amateur sleuths catch the murderer before they kill again? Or will it be til death parts them all?

Happy Halloween! Today, I am excited to take part in the blog tour for a fantastic new cozy mystery, Murder at the Wedding by Anita Davison.

I do love cozy historical mystery novels, and the Miss Merrill and Aunt Violet Mysteries is one of my favourite and in this fifth book it’s time for a wedding.

It’s wedding day for Hannah Merrill and her fiancé Darius Clifford. After waiting for the war to end and for Darius’s job in the government to give them time to get married, their day has finally arrived. The day is not off to a good start when they can’t find the vicar, but, fortunately, they find a substitute. And when Hannah and Darius find some time alone for themselves, they discover why the vicar was missing. His body is found inside the tomb of Hannah’s best friend leaving Hannah to wonder who would want him dead and why. With Darius already back at his job at the War Office and Hannah finding it strange to adapt to her role as a wife and mistress of the house, she and her aunt Violet embark in yet another investigation, determined to find out the truth.

I do love this series. Set in England in 1918, with WWI in the backdrop, it features strong and independent female characters, intriguing mysteries, and also lots of humor. I love the author’s attention to historical details which perfectly blends with the mystery to solve. Hannah and Violet are two wonderful and authentic characters, always determined to discover the truth, and I loved getting an insight into Aunt Violet’s quite eventful past. Well-written, engaging, and compelling, Murder at the Wedding is the perfect for fans of Agatha Christie and cozy mysteries and, even though it is the fifth book in the series, it can easily be read as a stand-alone!

A huge thank you to Rachel and Boldwood Books for inviting me to take part in the blog tour.
