"Pure enjoyment" (The New York Times) for cozy mystery lovers is in store when a killer strikes at the surprise bridal shower Nana Jo and the lively ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village have organized for Michigan bookshop owner, mystery writer, and amateur sleuth Samantha Washington. Fans of Gigi Pandian, Ellery Adams, Jenn McKinlay, and other biblio-themed cozies will say ""I do!"" to this latest Mystery Bookshop novel from Agatha Award-finalist V.M. Burns! All Sam wanted was to make a good impression on her fiancé Frank's mother, the very proper Dr. Camilia Patterson. But when Nana Jo and the lively ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village throw a surprise bridal shower for Sam at the Four Feathers Casino-watch out! Things spin out of control faster than a roulette wheel. Fortunately, Sam knows when to fold 'em and slips back to her room to work on her latest historical mystery set between the wars, in which a houseguest meets a grim end at an English country manor. The morning after brings another rude surprise. Sam gets a frantic call from Camilia, who's discovered a dead body in her room. Now winning over her soon-to-be mother-in-law means keeping the good doctor out of a potential scandal and attempting to discreetly solve a murder without ruffling any feathers. For that she'll need the help of Nano Jo-not exactly the soul of discretion-Detective "Stinky" Pitt, and the ladies-because the casino killer keeps upping the ante. . .
