Southern Sass and a Battered Bride

Marygene Brown Series, Book 3

By: Kate Young

Narrated by: Tiffany Morgan

At a murder-mystery-themed wedding reception on Georgia's picturesque Peach Cove Island, the bride is doing an awfully good job playing dead....

Marygene Brown always figured she'd marry her childhood sweetheart, Alex Myers, not cater his wedding. But the Peach Diner could use the exposure. Most of the island is showing up - although more for the role-playing murder game at the reception than for the widely loathed bridezilla, Lucy Carmichael. Marygene may have to smile through the festivities, but Mama doesn't have to hold her peace - especially since only Marygene can hear her mother's ghost. Mama says she sees an aura of darkness around the wedding.

So when Marygene finds Lucy lying beside the wedding cake, buried in batter, with no pulse, it looks like Mama called it. This is no game. And when the bride's body simply vanishes, it's up to Marygene and her best friend, Betsy, (cousin to the groom and no fan of the bride) to solve a real-life mystery - with a little help from Mama's sassy spirit....

Relaxing fun!

I love this series. Hope there are more. Good, clean humor is very important right now.

Feel good

Wonderfully written, feel good, no smut, no cursing and carrying on. It's so nice to find a book so well written, but also one that if a child walks in a room, you don't feel that you need to rush and cut it off. The characters are also lovable! This is one that would be fine to reread 

Good work

Really good suspenseful intriguing exciting these all fit with this story. Well worth your time to listen. Looking forward to her next book.
