Excellent!This was terrific! Ginger is 8 months pregnant at Felicia’s wedding to the Earl of Witt when, at the reception, a murder occurs。 Friends from the Great War, working undercover with Ginger , the Earl, and others, had been invited to the wedding。 Ginger and Basil investigate, uncovering hidden events from the war that have festered and finally erupted。 Exciting conclusion!

BoringStrauss last couple of books contain way too many fill-in sentences。 This practice of filling-in become tedious and boring, making the reader lose interest in the whole book。 This book is another example。

A society wedding in the roaring 20's must have been so much fun。 I haven't read any of the previous Ginger Gold books before I read this book。 I think it might have helped me with some of the background information that would have enhanced my enjoyment of the book。 Nonetheless, I enjoyed this murder mystery。 The book is reminiscent of the Agatha Christie books, or the game "Clue。" A murder occurred in the closing minutes of a wedding。 There were a lot of people still around。 Who was the murdere A society wedding in the roaring 20's must have been so much fun。 I haven't read any of the previous Ginger Gold books before I read this book。 I think it might have helped me with some of the background information that would have enhanced my enjoyment of the book。 Nonetheless, I enjoyed this murder mystery。 The book is reminiscent of the Agatha Christie books, or the game "Clue。" A murder occurred in the closing minutes of a wedding。 There were a lot of people still around。 Who was the murderer, and why?At the same time, Ginger could be exposed for her secret government work for her undercover assignment in WWI since many of the guests were her partners。 She hopes that her colleagues keep their secrecy oath。A fun read。 Can be read by nearly any reader。I received an advance reader copy from the author。 This is my honest review。 。。。more

The 16th instalment of the Ginger Gold series is a treat! For a long time, we've been teased with hints about Ginger's war-time activities and now they come home to roost in this fast paced, intriguing murder mystery。The fact that it occurs around Felicia's wedding is just icing on the cake。Suspects abound, including the new brother-in-law, and Strauss keeps you guessing right up until the end。 Although, if you read closely, there is a pretty good clue near the beginning as to who-dunnit。This is The 16th instalment of the Ginger Gold series is a treat!
