"In the latest in this New York Times bestselling series, matrimony and murder collide as San Francisco book-restoration expert Brooklyn Wainwright walks down the aisle... Brooklyn has it all covered. She's triple-checked her wedding to-do list, and everything is on track for the upcoming ceremony with the love of her life, security expert Derek Stone. Not everyone has been as lucky in love as Brooklyn. Her old college roommates Heather and Sara lost touch twelve years ago when Sara stole Heather's boyfriend. Brooklyn was caught in the middle and hasn't seen her former besties since their falling-out. When they both show up at her surprise bridal shower, Brooklyn is sure drama will ensue. But she's touched when the women seem willing to sort out their differences and gift her rare copies of The Three Musketeers and The Red Fairy Book. Brooklyn's prewedding calm is shattered when one of her formerly feuding friends is found murdered and Brooklyn determines that one of the rare books is a forgery. She can't help but wonder if the victim played a part in this fraud, or if she was targeted because she discovered the scam. With a killer and con artist on the loose, Brooklyn and Derek--with the unsolicited help of their meddling mothers--must catch the culprit before their big day turns into a big mess"-- Provided by publisher.

Not my favorite

While I love this series in general and Brooklyn and Derek, this was not one of my favorites in the series. I just felt like everything was too rushed in it. I did enjoy the wedding even tho' a killer was still on the loose at their wedding. It was more detailed than another cozy I read right before it where the wedding was almost an afterthought. I'm glad it wasn't that way here, but the wedding's about all I enjoyed in this one.
I still recommend this series and do recommend you read this one for the interpersonal relationship stuff in it, it's just not the best of the series.
