Merry Chapman's Reviews > Columbus Day Conundrum

The 10th book in an ever evolving, page turning series you just can't put down once you begin! Violet, the journalist and editor of the town paper is excited to take pictures of all the festivities. At the same time she is helping with a wedding to happen the next day and she and Darren are the secret Merrymaker"s and have to put the sign at the end of the day where the festivities will conclude. Add to that and Violet wants to get an apartment of her own, but doesn't know how to tell her mother since she is presently living in the guest house on her mother's property. When Violet goes into Darren's bar to meet up with him, she sees the bridal group at a table and sits with them. But then, there is a violent fight at the bar with a stranger who just happens to be the bride's ex-husband. Darren throws the ex out, and the bridal party leaves angry at the ex showing up. Then it is time for Violet and Darren to secretly place the Merrymaker's sign when as they were carrying it, Violet trips over a body which just happens to be the dead EX. So may threads, so may twists and turns. But will Darren, Violet's mother, Millie Kay, who loves to help investigate and of course, Violet find the real murderer especially when the Groom is arrested and Darren is representing him as his lawyer? Wow, so much there to decipher and so many potential suspects? I highly recommend this entire series and this book is a great addition! I can't wait to see what will come next for Violet, Darren and the rest of the crew. All the characters are really great and well developed. I received and ARC of this book but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.
