About this ebook

‘Till Death Do You Part’ wasn’t supposed to be taken so literally…

When Maddie Swallows attends an out-of-town wedding with her best friend, Benji, she expects free food, dancing, and some awkward moments as she tries to figure out her feelings for her long-time friend.

What she finds instead is a dead groom and an entire wedding guest list who had reason to kill the guy.

It doesn’t help that Maddie was the last person to see the groom alive and is placed in the local police’s crosshairs as they work to solve the murder.

It will take some unexpected sleuthing, and a few therapy sessions, for this psychiatrist to prove her innocence, and bring justice to the real killer.

Dead Before I Do is the third book of the Maddie Swallows mystery series. If you love quirky characters, romance, and plenty of intrigue, you'll love this cozy mystery.

Ratings and reviews

I've read several books written by Kat Bellemore; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books. This is the third book in the Maddie Swallows Mystery Series; it is a stand-alone book. The story is about Maddie & Benji; they are best friends and goes out of town for a wedding but instead she finds the groom dead and a room full of guest that had reasons to kill him. I received a free copy of this book via booksprout and I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Maggie & Benji are going to a wedding. A perfect weekend, just the 2 of them without her kids. Maggie thought that was great at a very swanky place, no less. But the groom ends up dead. Maggie touched the cake knife so she is the prime suspect. How she figures out who did it is really amazing to me. The murderer took me by surprise which I love.

‘Till Death Do You Part’ wasn’t supposed to be taken so literally… A cozy mystery that's entertaining and engaging, and keeps you guessing till the end. The characters are fun, work well together and just as entertaining as the story line. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

About the author

Kat Bellemore is the author of both the Borrowing Amor small town romance series and the Maddie Swallows cozy mystery series. Deciding to have New Mexico as the setting for these series was an easy choice, considering its amazing sunsets, blue skies and tasty green chile. That, and she currently lives there with her husband and two cute kids. They hope to one day add a dog to the family, but for now, the native animals of the desert will have to do. Though, Kat wouldn't mind ridding the world of scorpions and centipedes. They're just mean.
