About this ebook
A surprise wedding in France sets the table in the latest book in the ever-popular Lucy Stone mystery series set in Tinker’s Cove, Maine.
When Lucy Stone arrives at a sprawling French chateau with the whole family, it should be the trip of a lifetime—especially because she’s about to watch her oldest daughter, Elizabeth, marry the handsome, successful man of her dreams. But while navigating the vast countryside estate owned by her impenetrably wealthy in-laws-to-be, the jet-lagged mother of the bride has a creeping feeling that Elizabeth’s fairytale nuptials to Jean-Luc Schoen-Rene are destined to become a nightmare . . .
Maternal instincts are validated the moment a body is pulled from a centuries-old moat on the property. A young woman has dropped dead under mysterious circumstances—possibly at the hands of someone at the chateau—and unflattering rumors about the Schoen-Rene line and their inner circle flow like champagne. Then there’s the matter of Elizabeth’s hunky ex beau showing up on the scene as she prepares to walk down the aisle . . .
With tensions building, personalities clashing, and real dangers emerging at the chateau, Lucy is determined to protect her family, together for the first time in years, and expose the one responsible. She’ll have to locate the culprit among a list of worldly jilted lovers and potential criminal masterminds, or Elizabeth’s trip down the aisle could end in tragedy . . .

This latest offering from Leslie Meier was ok, but definitely not up to her usual standards. I could have done without the politics....global warming and climate change are not subjects I want to hear about when I'm reading for pleasure. Can we do without the politics next time Leslie? It's all a lie and a farce anyway, and should not be part of a good book. Leave the politics to the news anchors over at CNN. Better luck with your next book, dearie, or you will lose one of your most loyal readers. My advice to you is to leave the climate change and global warming to the cultist idiots like Al Gore and John Kerry. YOU should stick with what you know...kids and family.
