Marriage? It can be absolute murder.

The royal wedding looms and Felicity can think of little else … until a member of her dream team is arrested for attempted murder.

Doris, a long-time friend and superstar florist, stands accused of attempting to kill half a dozen brides, their bouquets poisoned with an unknown toxin.

Ordered not to interfere by the hateful Chief Inspector Quinn, Felicity is determined to find the real person behind the bizarre crimes and clear her friend’s name – Doris must be innocent, right?

But Felicity is not exactly known for her sleuthing skills. If anything, she is known for the opposite. Accompanied by a P.I. with a shark-infested smile, a niece who likes to kick first and ask later, deluded dog, Buster, and sassy cat, Amber, it will be a miracle if she even finds a clue.

Time is running out for the brides – they need an antidote and fast.

However, in a race to save the day, Felicity will glimpse the truth and be faced with a choice that might change her life or end it.

What does a wedding planner know about solving a mystery?

Nothing.

The story was good and I really wish I could have finished it. The AI performance was so horrible it managed to eliminate all the humor out of what is probably a very entertaining story.

the story was engaging and fun, but having to listen to it read by virtual voice with little inflation was disappointing

Virtual voice shouldn’t even be used for a textbook for how to dissect a cadaver; even my worst A&P prof was better than VV. Not only is the inflection leaps and bounds worse than an early grade school child who is mortified to read in front of their class, it can’t handle the simplest of unusual spelling.
My ‘favorite’ this go round was when it pronounced “W-what?!” as (best recall) “Double-u dash what.” …. (The period at the end is correct, the exclamatory question had no inflection.)

Next time I see Virtual Voice on a series I’ve read much of, I’m just skipping to the end for the wind-up. I like Steve Higgs’ books but VV cuts the value so much it’s not worth it. And I only bought this one at mega-sale price.

Performance rating should be Zero stars
