内容説明
Caught up in a whirl of champagne and china patterns, bride-to-be Lee McKinney has butted heads with her future mother-in-law over every detail of the wedding bash. The last thing she needs is trouble with her own mother. But this is bigger than the hot versus cold hors d’oeuvres debate: Sally McKinney doesn’t even want to be at the wedding if it takes place in Warner Pier, her hometown.
Irked that her mom might be MIA on the Big Day, Lee heads to her aunt’s chocolate shop, TenHuis Chocolade, for advice. There, the bride is shocked to learn that years earlier, her mother ran away on what would have been her own wedding day—hours before her fiancé was found dead, an apparent suicide. Now, to smooth things over with her mother—and ease her own way down the aisle—Lee must untangle a mystery older than she is....

Mystery Old, Murder New
2006/8/17
形式:マスマーケット|Amazonが確認した購入
Lee McKinney and Joe Woodyard have finally set a date for their wedding. The only problem is getting Lee's mother, Sally, to come. While trying to understand why her mother doesn't want to come, Lee unearths a family secret. Her mother originally left Warner Pier on what would have been her wedding day.
This is a chapter in her mother's life that Lee knew nothing about. Further investigating turns up that Sally's finacee was found dead in his car on their wedding day. His death was ruled a suicide.
Despite warnings that what happened is in the past, Lee's curiosity gets the better of her. She begins to spend time digging in the old newspapers, trying to make sense of events that took place before she was even born. Then Lee and Joe stumble over a very recent dead body. Whatever was having thirty plus years ago, someone still wants it to stay buried. But just what happened on that fateful night? Will Sally be in danger if she comes to the wedding?
This book is easily my favorite in the series. The action starts quickly and the pace never lags. While I can usually figure out the ending early, this one had me going until the very end. While I did put the pieces together a little before Lee, it was only by a few pages.
With the focus on the past, many of the characters from previous books are reduced to cameos. Giving the recurring characters more page time would have just slowed down the story, something I am glad didn't happen. The cast of new characters is engaging, and they more then made up for the reduced roll the regulars had.
About the only problem with the book is Lee's tongue tangles. While they had been diminishing in the last few installments, here they are back in force. While a few sprinkled throughout the book make me chuckle, here they began to get annoying.
I couldn't put this book down but raced through it to see how the story ended. Any fan of the series will love the latest tasty treat.

Good Series
2006/8/25
形式:マスマーケット
I enjoyed this installment of the series much better than the last few, mainly because Lee's involvement didn't seem that contrived. I just wish she had based her involvement more on her mother's history than on "curiousity."
The tongue tangling gimmick, however, has got to go. It's getting to the point where it's annoying and takes away from the story. With all the times it occurred, and then Lee called more attention to it by saying "I mean..." and restating what she'd been trying to say in its entirety, coupled with the other person's reaction, it started to seem like the author was cashing in on the gimmick just to fill a word count.

Too many slips of the tongue!!
2006/9/13
形式:マスマーケット
If you have read other titles in this series, and you think Lee's slips of the tongue are "charming", you'll be delighted with this book. If, like me, you view them as very annoying breaks in the narrative, run for the hills. The tongue tangles are just over the top this time around, MANY more than in previous books. I enjoyed the earlier books despite the slips, but there are just too many to ignore in this one.
