Berried at Sea
by Peg Cochran

It’s a marriage made in murder in the new Cranberry Cove Mystery from USA Today bestselling author Peg Cochran!

The long-awaited wedding of Monica and Greg is the highlight of the harvest season in Cranberry Cove, drawing friends from far and wide to help them celebrate. Among the guests are an old college friend of Monica’s and the woman’s boisterous new husband, a man with many enemies and more than a few bitter women in his past. When he turns up dead on a boat, the victim of a fatal stabbing, Monica steps in once again to unravel the mystery.

As she dredges up clues and wades through a long list of suspects, Monica’s sleuthing becomes all the more pressing when the local police are convinced that her friend did the deed. Monica will have to clear her name fast and track down the real culprit as the killer threatens to bring her sweet wedded bliss to a bitter end.

My Thoughts

Out protagonist is Monica Albertson.  When this story opens, Monica is getting ready to marry Greg.  The wedding goes off without a hitch until one of the wedding guests turns up dead the day after the ceremony.  Inquisitive Monica just can't help getting involved in trying to find out who committed the murder.

Monica is smart and comes across as a natural in asking questions and following clues.  I love that this is set in a small town on lake Michigan!  The story moved along quickly and there was never a dull moment.

This is book #4 of the Cranberry Cove Mystery series.  While it worked well as a stand alone, I think there is good cause to go back and read the other three books.  I also want to read future books in this fun cozy series.
