At the Silver Bear Shop and Factory, Sasha will be selling plenty of bride and groom teddy bears come springtime. But this Valentine’s Day weekend, she’d take any of those silent, stuffed couples over the real thing. Sasha and her sister Maddie are bridesmaids at Cissy Davison’s upcoming wedding in Silver Hollow. Cissy is fuming over the worst choice of best man–the jerk who broke her sister Debbie’s heart–and the groom-to-be won’t budge in his decision. At the rehearsal dinner you could cut the tension with a wedding cake knife.

That is, until best man Dylan is found dead, impaled with an ice pick. Although jilted Debbie is the most likely suspect–the blood on her dress doesn’t help her case–the bride begs Sasha to prove her sister’s innocence. If anyone’s going to walk down the aisle, Sasha will first need to find the cold-hearted killer who iced Dylan. . .

Dru’s Musing:
Fast-paced whodunit that quickly became a page-turner as I had to know how this was going to end. There were a bevy of suspects to choose from and the author did a great job in providing tidbits here and there to narrow the field down to a few. It is this small field that kept me immersed in clue-gathering and the interactions among the characters catered to what transpired and the motive for murder and as the drama moved towards its conclusion, the desire to know the why increased especially when the killer’s identity became known. An overall entertaining read boasting a comfortable tone, engaging dialogue and the perfect backdrop of a teddy bear shop. Look forward to more visits with Sasha.
