About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
Welcome to Normal, Kentucky where nothing is normal!
The Daniel Boone National Forest is gorgeous in the fall. The leaves have painted the sides of the mountains with yellow, oranges, reds and browns you won't see anywhere else. That's why it's such a popular destination for weddings!
When a wedding party show up at Happy Trails Campground, Mae West is thrilled. She's all things girly and excited to assist the bride in all things southern, which is what the bride is hankering for.
Mae recognizes the parents of the bride when they arrive. They are from her past. The past she's been desperately trying to escape...especially since it was the time she was married to Paul West. This just isn't any couple, it's the owners of the famous Moonbucks Coffee Company.
Determined to get the happy couple married off and on their way, hoping to see some of her past drive off forever, Mae volunteers herself and the Laundry Club ladies to become the wedding coordinators.
The wedding is set to take place in the beautiful wedding barn at the Old Train Station Motel, only Gert Hobson, the owner of Trails Coffee Shop and providing the coffee for the happy couple, has decided there's no way she's going to help out with Tom Moon's daughter's wedding since she claims how years ago Tom Moon STOLE her coffee blend recipe known today as the special Moonbucks blend.
A public fight between Gert and Tom leaves Gert a prime suspect after a member of the wedding party is found dead at the wedding venue. There might not be a happily ever after for the bride to be or Gert Hobson if Mae West and the Laundry Club ladies don't solve the murder before the wedding party's RV rolls out of town.
My Review
Mae West is delighted that her campgrounds is booked for a wedding. She’s not all that happy to learn that the parents of the bride knew her ex-husband. She hopes they don’t realize she’s the ex-wife of a man who cheated many people out of their fortunes. Unfortunately, they know exactly who she is, but they are still willing to let her host the wedding.
Mae, along with members of the Laundry Club ladies, arrange all the details of the wedding from hair and nails to flowers to having the ceremony in the wedding barn. Even the coffee will be catered by Gert Hobson and her Trails Coffee Shop, until Gert finds out the father of the bride is the owner of Moonbucks Coffee Company. Gert accuses him of stealing her coffee recipe many years ago and turning it into a successful business.
To say Gert is angry is an understatement. When a member of the wedding party is found dead, Gert is the main suspect. Mae jumps in to do her own investigation and find the real culprit.
This is the 9th book of the series and it’s a good one. It’s a quick cozy mystery filled with humor, intrigue, a little romance and a quirky cast of characters. The author tosses in a few twists and turns that caught me by surprise. I’m looking forward to the next one in the series.
