Publisher's summary

The devil is in the details....

Cletus Byron Winston wishes to marry Jennifer Anne Donner-Sylvester (aka The Banana Cake Queen) posthaste! He’s spent the last year wanting nothing more than for the celebrations to be brief, libations flowing, and BYOB (bring your own blueberries). His future mother-in-law has other plans - plans his intended has been willing to indulge, much to Cletus’s chagrin. Therefore, so must he. To a point. But truth be told, he wouldn’t mind if the meddlesome matriarch disappeared, at least until the nuptials are over.

On the night of Cletus and Jenn’s long-awaited engagement party, just when the surly schemer is of a mind to take matters into his own hands, a shocking event upends everyone’s best-laid plans and sends the small hamlet of Green Valley into complete disarray. The final months leading up to Cletus and Jenn’s matrimonial bliss are plagued with chaos and uncertainty. Will Cletus and Jenn finally make it to the altar? Or will murder and mayhem derail their happily-ever-after? And most importantly, who done it?

Marriage and Murder is the second book in the cozy mystery series Solving for Pie: Cletus and Jenn Mysteries. It is best enjoyed after the third book in the Winston Brothers series, Beard Science (which can be enjoyed as a stand-alone), and the first book in Solving for Pie: Cletus and Jenn Mysteries series, Engagement and Espionage.

A nice visit with the Winstons

I love the Winstons! Love Chris Brinkley and Joy Nash. I don't care what the other reviewers say. YES! Read this!

i loved the story!

I absolutely loved the audio on this one! Jenn was exactly how I thought she sounded!

great listen

love penny Reid and all she writes. i liked this book more than the first in this series. joy nash and chris brinkley deliver again. cant wait for the next one!

Love the mystery! Love the Winstons!

These two books are so good! I love the characters and how they have grown and changed. The humor and quirky nature in the dialogue is very entertaining.

Loved it

I liked this one a lot more than the previous in the series “engagement and espionage.” This one had a lot more going on and I liked that we got to see them together more often. Also, I debated listening to these two books before listening to “beard in hiding” and I’m glad I did. There’s a lot of background in this one that will be helpful in that one.

Ahh…. Cletus.

Cletus Winston is my favorite literary character. More please!!

Also, thanks Chris Brinkley… you were perfect!

Intrigue, love, sexy - the whole enchilada

The characters and narration of such are perfection in their almost- realness. The mystery is solid. Multiple story lines and characters lines. And she knows how to write the hot scenes without it being cringy - usually I fast forward with other writers. But I’m here for the story and can’t wait for the next in series!

Love Penny Reid’s books

I love all her books and her positive progressive inclusive non judgmental perspective. Cletus is specifically one of my favorites.
It’s just too good!

Amazing!!!!

Penny for writing unforgettable characters with fabulous dialogue. Chris and Joy fir bringing these characters to life through voice. I’ve been through the series twice and can’t wait to begin again!

the actors make the difference.

thank you for casting Chris Brinkley for this series. He is able to vividly express the the emotions of the story stories. I feel as if you can even hear a smile in his voice as he reads the credits.
