Vows of Murder

A Tourist Trap Mystery, Book 17

By: Lynn Cahoon

Narrated by: Lauren Pedersen

Fans of female sleuth cozies will delight in New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon's latest installment in her long-running Tourist Trap Mystery series.

Jill's wedding to police chief Greg King is just days away, at a historic Spanish mission with a courtyard full of olive trees. But the folks in South Cove are more intrigued by what kind of ceremonies might be going on behind the walls of New Hope, the walled property where charismatic Kane Matthews and his followers reside. Jill isn't fond of the man, but his followers seem nice, and they buy a lot of books.

After a distraught woman stops by at Coffee, Books, and More with a picture of her daughter, who she believes needs rescuing from the suspected cult—and then Matthews's body is found, at Jill's wedding venue of all places—Jill makes a commitment to solve the case. With Greg's mother as a houseguest, she must play hostess to her future in-law while pursuing a murderous outlaw . . .

Great series

Characters are very likable and real great narration also. Loved whole series

Favorite author!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!will read again

Love it!

I love this book! Started and finished the same day!!! Couldn’t quite seem to put it down!

Good plot mostly.

Like the characters, the plot was pretty good but the person who read read the story was not very good. She rushed the words and that took the normal warmth of the characters away.

Marriage and Murder

I love the fast pace of the book. I listened to it in one day. The plot was kept readers guessing as to who is the murderer. While looking for the murderer of a cult leader, Greg and Jill are trying to marry.

This author continues to draw me in.

I love reacquainted myself with these folks. Lynn Cahoon writes a compelling cozy mystery, with characters I enjoy from book to book. I did not have a clue about who the killer actually was until the absolute end! So satisfying! Keep writing, please!
