A Deadly Edition

(Blue Ridge Library Mysteries Series # 5) A Blue Ridge Library Mystery

By: Victoria Gilbert

Narrated by: Coleen Marlo

The pursuit to acquire a rare illustrated book turns deadly, and on the eve of her upcoming wedding, library director Amy Webber is drawn into a web of treachery and betrayal that could derail her happy day - and maybe just claim her life.

Planning a wedding can be murder - sometimes, literally. At a party celebrating their upcoming nuptials, Taylorsford, Virginia library director Amy Webber and her fiance Richard Muir discover the body of art dealer Oscar Selvaggio - a bitter rival of their host, Kurt Kendrick.

Both had been in a heated battle to purchase a rare illustrated volume created by William Morris's Kelmscott Press, so suspicion immediately falls upon Kurt. Amy knows that Kurt has a closet-full of skeletons from his past - but she can't believe he's guilty of murder.

Amidst an avalanche of wedding preparations, Amy begins an investigation with the help of her aunt Lydia Talbot and the new mayor of Taylorsford, Sunshine "Sunny" Fields. Much to Lydia's dismay, her boyfriend, art expert Hugh Chen, becomes convinced of Kurt's guilt and launches an investigation of his own. As the case hits painfully close to home, the stakes become impossibly high - and the danger, all too real.

Best so far.

Best so far. The wedding wasn’t without some wild situations leading up to it. It was also such a heartfelt and emotional experience bringing all the old favorites together and softening the perception of some others.

FANTASTIC

The moment we have waited for - Amy and Richard's wedding, but not without a little murder and mayhem, not to mention the appearance of Amy's brother with the mysterious job, and Richard's not so delightful parents. Not wo worry.. This was a delightful book. I only wish I could see some of the dancing. To paraphrase Richard and Amy, I look forward to much more to come from these two and the interesting, sometimes lovable, cast of characters.

Amy's wedding caper

Excellent mystery story,loving all the characters and getting to know Scott, Amy's brother better, and with a sweet ending!
