Mystic Wedding Bell Blues

From USA Today bestselling authors Sally J. Smith & Jean Steffens comes matrimony and murder on the bayou…
It’s springtime on the bayou—flowers bloom, the days are warm, and romance is in the air, especially at The Mansion at Mystic Isle resort outside New Orleans, where resident tattoo artist Melanie Hamilton’s best friend is about to tie the knot.
Catalina Gabor is looking forward to becoming Mrs. Chief Deputy Quincy Boudreaux, and, in Mel’s opinion, making him the luckiest man in the universe. The wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner go off without a hitch, overseen by the Reverend Bocephus Jones, semi-famous courtesy of his come-to-meetin’ revival program on local TV. But the festivities end in disaster when the reverend suddenly drops dead at the bottom of the grand staircase—poisoned!
Who would want the reverend dead? Mel is determined to find out in order to save Cat’s wedding. But can she catch a killer in time? Or will the murderer be looking for a second victim in one petite strawberry-blonde tattoo artist?

Writing team Sally J. Smith and Jean Steffens, a top all-time favorite, have penned a well-written and exciting series with a Southern flair, combining cheeky characters, humorous foibles, and of course, a clever cozy murder mystery.
