Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

Bernadette and Libby Simmons have been working twelve-hour days at their store, A Taste of Heaven. And in between whipping up sweet treats and catering high school graduation parties, the sisters have to fit one more event into their busy schedule: catering a high-society wedding that takes a very low turn. . .

Leeza Sharp is getting ready to have the wedding of her dreams. She's got a $25,000 dress (gorgeous and made to order), a rich Estonian fiancé (head of a multimillion dollar caviar empire) and a four-star menu (planned by none other than Bernadette and Libby Simmons). Never mind that she's not really in love with her boring, bland groom-to-be.

But the dream wedding quickly turns into a nightmare. Just hours before she's scheduled to walk down the aisle, Leeza takes an arrow to the chestâ??and drops dead. Now Libby and Bernadette have more on their minds than pouring Cristal and cutting up wedding cake: they've got an archery-inclined killer to find. . .

Includes 6 Delectable Recipes for You to Try!

"The sisters' playful rivalry, clever dialogue and an eccentric supporting cast make for plenty of cozy fun." â??Publishers Weekly

"Frequent humor, a couple of little-old-lady Marxists, and several delicious recipes complete the cozy picture. Recommended for culinary mystery fans." â??Library Journal

I selected this book on a whim, since the premise is food and recipes are included. Two sisters, Bernie and Libby Simmons, run a catering service and food shop, but have a second profession as amateur sleuths. In this episode, the sisters and their ex police chief father race to discover the killer of Lezza Sharp. Poor Leeza, finally getting the wedding of her dreams, is murdered via crossbow on the day of her wedding. The mystery unfolds amid delicious tidbits of food preparation, and the constant reciting of Wikipedia knowledge from Bernie. The sisters are almost extreme opposites: one always groomed to perfection and the other covered in crumbs and other baking ingredients. The story is not all fluff, as this book explains caviar and falconry. The characters and setting could be better developed, but this is a fun and interesting series, which I will continue to read.
