Death up the Aisle: A 1920s Cozy Mystery
A glamorous winter wedding, an ill-fated honeymoon and a hesitant bride who doesn't know enough about the man she's just married.
London, Christmas Eve. 1927. Shivering in her wedding dress, Mrs Mortimer's special day takes a turn for the worse when she embarks on her honeymoon and ends up in prison.
There was, on reflection, something decidedly fishy about the wedding - and the funeral that followed, but investigating a murder you're supposed to have committed, is easier said than done when you're under lock and key.
Can Aunt Bathsheba help to solve the crime - and might her strange coterie of ladies offer any assistance? Who exactly is the solicitor, and is he as good as he thinks he is? And might Georgie's little terrier, Crumpet, be the key to her survival?
Set in London and the Cotswolds, the Large Print Edition of this cozy 1920s mystery series is the first of the Mrs Mortimer books, although it can be enjoyed as a stand-alone story in its own right.

Death up the aisle is a 1920’s murder mystery. The author did a great job capturing readers attention at the beginning with a Christmas Eve wedding and mysterious murder of the groom. A falsely imprisoned widow is left to solve the mystery with the help of family, friends and unlikely acquaintances. The book didn’t always keep my attention, wasn’t always believable, and the last few chapters seemed very rushed. It was a pleasant read and written nicely.
