As their guests descend on a luxurious Cornish castle for a weekend of pre-wedding activities, the happy couple look forward to spending time with friends and family. But celebrations grind to a halt when an arrow flies off-course during the archery session, and they find the body of a young woman floating face down in an ornamental pond.

With the champagne chilling and canapes assembled, and an old London adversary brought in to investigate, it’s up to Jodie and Nathan to uncover the killer, before they strike again.

Could the murderer be on the guest list?

Ratings and reviews

A Cornish castle wedding turns deadly when a murder is discovered. Former police officer Jodie and her fiancé investigate among their wedding party before another life is lost. This quirky book can be read as a standalone, but it will be enjoyed more if the series is read in order. There’s a lot of emphasis on the relationships between the characters, which sometimes overwhelm the mystery. Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.
