This wasn't as enjoyable as the first book and at times I got a little bored with it. The characters were a little tame and unlikeable. I hope for better next time. My thanks to netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

There's an old story about the actress Shelley Winters. As it goes, well after she had established herself, Ms. Winters was asked to audition for a film. Annoyed at having her skills questioned, on the day of the audition, she sat across from the director, pulled both of her Oscars from her purse, plopped them on the table, and quipped, "Some people think I can act."
It's a good story, but what does it have to do with Julie Houston?
Well, if anyone should ever foolishly question Houston's talent, she can now display not one, not two, but an entire library of glorious books. Yes, indeed. Julie Houston can write.
In A Wedding at Heatherly Hall, her latest visit to the fictional Yorkshire village of Westenbury, Houston revisits the lives of sisters Hannah, Rosa, and Eva as they face the pressures of an overbooked spring season. Enamored with the story of a rare piece of jewelry that long ago disappeared from the Hall's grounds, the three intend to produce an Agatha Christie inspired theatrical production and treasure hunt. And when a Bollywood star and famous musician suddenly need a new wedding venue for that same weekend, the trio jumps at the chance to show off their venue's skills.
These two major events alone would provide plenty of fodder for one novel, but Houston is not one to let her characters rest. There are twists, turns, and surprises—family drama, relationship drama, and all other drama in-between. There's love, tension, blunders, and a ton of fun. From almost any other author, all of this might feel chaotic and exhausting. Yet Houston understands how to weave a story so all of these points come together in such a way that you can't wait to read what will happen next.
Part of this is because of Houston's trademark humor, which is brilliantly on display here. She never fails to make me laugh, and A Wedding at Heatherly Hall is no exception. Perhaps because of how she drops these jokes at just the right time, Houston has crafted a world that feels fully lived in. These characters, their heartaches and triumphs and laughs, feel real. Dropping in on Westenbury is a lot like visiting old friends and, even after multiple books, I can't wait to return.
So yes, if someone should ever wonder about Houston's writing ability—and really, who would do such a thing?—I hope she proudly pulls her entire collection of books from her bag. A copy of A Wedding at Heatherly Hall should be perched right at the top.
Note: I received a free ARC of this book from the publisher.

The trials and tribulations of the triplets Rosa, Hannah, and Eva continue. Not only do they have to organise the wedding of a famous Bollywood actress and a rock star at short notice, but they are also producing a play the following day about the night a set of jade jewellery, intended as a gift for Wallis Simpson, went missing in the Hall !
That in itself would have been sufficient plot for a novel, especially when it seems many people believe the jewellery is still hidden somewhere in the Hall and are keen to find it. However, Julie Houston also introduces love tribulations for two of the triplets *and* brings Joe's ex-wife back from Australia to claim their daughter. I'm sure I've griped about this before, but there is just too much going on what with a wedding, a treasure hunt, a play, two love triangles, IVF, an ex-wife, and Virginia deciding to play lady of the manor. It felt a bit like things had been deliberately disrupted (having only just been settled in the previous book) only to be resolved almost instantaneously at the end of the book.
Overall, a pleasant enough read, although I think anyone who hadn't read the previous books might have struggled with the dynamics and relationships.

It took me a little while to get into this (I think that’s due to me rather than the book) but once I did, I found myself reaching for my kindle at any spare moment to read a few more chapters. It started off at quite a relaxed pace but as you got nearer the end the tension and drama just kept ramping up!
I really felt for Rosa in this book as she doesn’t have an easy time of it at all and there are some really poignant and emotional experiences that she encounters. However she soldiers on and puts her brave face on for the majority of the time which just makes the reader respect and warm to her even more - or it did in my case at least
On the opposite hand I wanted to slap both Eva and Hannah at times for risking what they’d already got for the illusion of something better - it’s definitely true that you realise what you had when you no longer have it…
Overall I really liked this book, it had emotional moments, tense moments, drama, romance and laughter at times as well. A lovely return to Heatherly hall!

Engaging, more than a touch chaotic, emotional at times, and extremely funny – this book really is the author at her wonderful best, one I thoroughly enjoyed, and the perfect conclusion to this excellent series.
Hannah has now hit her stride as she runs day-to-day operations up at the Hall, but still has plenty of moments of self-doubt – and she still has that rather unfortunate self-destruct button as far as her personal life is concerned. Eva’s wrestling with the shared care of her children and her part-time work at the family dental practice, while organising the Hall’s art-focused activities: Rosa, the village vicar, is settling into family life but with some significant challenges to come when a figure from their past resurfaces to make things even more difficult.
But they have a strong team in support – and when asked, at short notice, to stage the high profile wedding of a rock star and a Bollywood actress, they’re happy (well, fairly…) to take it on. In addition though, they’ve also agreed to put on a murder-mystery (without the murder though…) on the following night, an am-dram production and treasure hunt set around a long missing set of jet jewellery (with a central extremely valuable diamond) originally intended as a gift for a visiting Wallis Simpson.
There’s a tremendous amount going on in this book – I’ve hardly scratched the surface with that brief synopsis – with emotional and practical challenges, romantic entanglements and disasters, constant interference from their horrendous older sister (with some more associated surprises), and the unexpected (and totally wonderful…) involvement of Paddy’s elephant (yes, really… I did say “chaotic”, didn’t I?). There’s even a historical thread exploring what really happened on the night that jewellery jet set disappeared – and that was something I rather enjoyed.
The book’s many characters, familiar and new, likeable or otherwise, are so superbly drawn and the author’s firmly in control of every unexpected twist and turn and complication of the different concurrently unfolding stories. There’s drama aplenty (and have I mentioned the many real surprises?), and a few really touching moments to bring a tear or two – but also a good measure of the author’s trademark humour, both character-driven and gentle and a little more raucous at times, always perfectly judged.
I read this book in a couple of sittings, and have to say I loved every moment – I’m going to miss my visits to Westenbury and Heatherly Hall, and having to leave these wonderful sisters behind, but I’ll look forward to seeing where the author’s writing takes her in her future endeavours. While you might love it best if you’ve read the two books that came before – not critical, just a recommendation – this is a book I think so many other readers would enjoy every bit as much as I did.

Enjoyed it, but it wasn't one of my favorites. All the most unfavorable characters were placed in one book and were always gathered together. No one seemed happy in this book. Hannah is definitely the least likeable twin. I don't know what it is about her. She seems to get infatuated with the worst guys even when she has the perfect boyfriend. The constant drinking and the scene at Clementine's was ridiculous. Hannah is not the most annoying Quinn sister by far. That title belongs to Virginia, I mean Ginny. I cringed every time Virginia showed up. She made a complete 180 on all her views and became another person. I HATED reading about her. In the previous books, Virginia was so sanctimonious. Now she's the type of person she always looked down at. I'm pretty sure Virginia thought she was entitled to a bunch of money. Rosa, Hannah and Eva could have invited Virginia to help out with the events of Heatherly Hall. Then maybe Virginia wouldn't have reached out to Jonny and Billy-Jo. I really didn't enjoy the of the mystery of the missing jet jewelry. Why can't Joe and Carys have shared custody of Chiara? It was great to revisit the triplets, but I wouldn't mind reading about new characters. There really needs to be an index of all the characters to keep track of everyone because after awhile the books and people start to blend together. Every time I read the books about Westenbury, I want to live there and become friends with everyone(except Virginia).
Definitely recommend the book. Enjoyed the characters(mostly), story and writing style. I love reading about the village and seeing what everyone is up to. Look forward to reading more books by the author. I simply can't resist going back to Westenbury.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Aria & Aries through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Sisters Hannah, Rosa, and Eva are on a mission to sustain picturesque Heatherly Hall, in Yorkshire's Westenbury village. So when they hear the legend of the Jet Set – a necklace with a rare diamond, commissioned by royalty and hidden in their hall – they plan a fundraiser: an Agatha-Christie style am-dram production and treasure hunt.
As if that weren't enough, music superstar Drew Livingston and Bollywood legend Aditi Sharma have chosen their hall for a wedding in just six weeks' time, and the pressure is mounting to pull off the wedding of the decade.
Staging the play, unravelling the mystery of the diamond, and meeting the demands of an A-list bride and groom without their lives unravelling seems impossible. But these three sisters know that with family by your side, anything can be overcome
The three sisters an are good mix, each a great foil for the other. I found all the relationships tricky to get to grips with at the start with this being the third in a series, but I figured it out and it works well as a stand alone.
Each of the sisters brings something to the party, sensible Rosa, village vicar, struggling to conceive but full of kindness and strength. Eva, feisty and bolshie, wanting love and to be loved and turns the head of superstar Drew. Hannah, who has her heart set on keeping Heatherly going but confused in love, I really wanted to give her a good shake at times!
Virginia, their elder sister is hilarious and really annoying in equal measure, but such a great character, I really wanted to slap her!
This is a heartwarming read, full of love, a bit of mystery and lots of glamour. I especially loved the Agatha-esque am-dram component - so much fun!

Full disclosure, I am already a huge fan of Julie Houston’s books and so couldn’t wait to dive back in and read the third book in the Vicar of Westenbury trilogy. Each book can be read as a standalone with characters that are so relatable they feel like friends and if you haven’t already you’ll want to catch up with the Quinn triplets Rosa, Hannah and Eva in the first two books.
This is another cracking story, a roller-coaster of a ride taking us through the full range of emotions. Laugh out loud funny to heart wrenchingly sad and everything in between, but we are in very safe hands with the author and are left smiling at the end.
Julie Houston has blown it out of the park again with this fabulous book, just perfect for curling up in front of the fire with, or on a sun bed at the beach or for a lovely pick-you-up at the end of a hard day.
Highly recommend.

Part of the Heatherly Hall series, but it works as a standalone story too.
Triplets Hannah, Eva and Rosa are faced with a huge task - a celebrity wedding at Heatherly Hall. Add in an Agatha Christie style performance and mystery tour the day after the event, and they've got their work cut out. Can the wedding go off without a hitch, and can the women work through their personal problems at the same time?
I must admit this isn't my favourite in the series. I wasn't particularly fond of the historical flashback chapters, and I felt as if one character in particular had a completely unbelievable personality transplant in this book compared to previous. I also didn't warm to Hannah or Eva this time round. However I do love Rosa and Joe, and hope the next book strongly focuses on them. The characters involved in the Agatha Christie play were amusing, and I loved Paddy!

This is the third in the series of The Westbury Book featuring . the sisters Rosa, Hannah and Eva. Rosa is the parish priest, Hannah runs Heatherley Hall and Eva is dentist. In the latest instalment we have thrills, spills and excitement aplenty. The story includes the missing legendary Jet Set jewellery that has been a gift to Wallace Simpson, but had been lost in the Hall. This leads to the girls deciding to hold an Agatha Christie style event culimating in a treasure hunt for the missing jewellery. Combined with a high profile wedding between a musical superstar and a Bollywood legendary leading lady. I have thoroughly enjoy the story. Perfect escapism, lovely characters and a story line that keeps the reader entertained. Thank you to Netgalley and Boldwood publishers for the ARC.

I love Julie Houston books, but for the first third of this book I found myself speed reading as it was so annoying, so many different aspects early on that were very far fetched. A sister totally changing her persona, people arriving and being allowed to stay which would not happen in real life, and seemed to have been forgotten about until a quick mention towards the end of the book, a will being contested, that also seemed to have disappeared into the ether with just a few lines mentioned again at the end. Pop stars and elephants!! Jewel robbers too
It did get better in the last third, but very over the top and too many storylines pushed into one book, I’m guessing there will be another that addresses some of these things, but it could have been so much better if parts had been left out completely for the next book.

So nice to catch up with the triplets and see their shenanigans at the hall. They are all back on form settling into their roles as trustees of the hall since the sad passing of Bill their biological Father. This time they are trusted with the Bollywood wedding of a famous actress and pop star. Glamour, elephants and celebrity chefs are added to the mix as well as an Agatha Christie play and mystery of historical stolen gems adds to the mayhem. This is a great book and Asda to the series really well. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you NetGalley for this arc in exchange for an honest review.

I know, every time I finish reading a Julie Houston book, I say, this is her best one yet, but this one really is!
It has everything, the triplets (of course) are getting on with life running the hall and there is mayhem aplenty in store for them with a very glitzy wedding to organise, but being Heatherly hall, this is no ordinary wedding and nothing goes to plan, well, how could it when you have an elephant to fit in and priceless gems to track down?
Bravo, Julie, I hope there are plans for more HH books in the future!
thanks to Aria Fiction for the advance copy, via netgalley!

Great to catch up with the triplets and does not disappoint full of surprises regarding the running of Heatherly Hall especially when they land the chance of hosting a celebrity wedding.
Lots of twists and funny moments dealing with family problems and secrets being revealed and having to deal with Virginia who is a nightmare and constantly stirring up trouble.
Loved the characters each with their own secrets and quirks but sticking together no matter what is thrown at them.
Could not put this down kept me wanting to find out more.
Would highly recommend and can't wait for the next book.

Although this is the third book in a series, you do not need to have read the others first in order to understand this one.
A fun look at the chaos and difficulties that make up family life, especially when that family is a set of triplet sisters!
This was a fun, light-hearted read, easily finished in under an hour.

A Wedding at Heatherly Hall is another engaging chapter in the lives of Hannah, Rosa and Eva. The story has lots going on and is very entertaining. Nothing is ever straightforward for the sisters, but they usually succeed with the help of the community, family and friends. The characters are relatable and most likeable. It's an immersive read full of action and emotion with plenty of lighter moments. I like the family dynamic, the humour and the believable characters.

I love catching up with the triplets. It feels like coming home to a warm house with the Christmas tree lights on and snuggling on the sofa in a warm blanket. There is the usual chaos and difficult moments that make up family life and some equally out there moments, which I really wasn’t expecting. An absolutely wonderful read.

I loved this book
This book was a really good read. The triplets were back to their old selves. There was sadness in this book for Rosa, I also found some parts very funny especially the bit about the chandelier cleaning reference. I hope there is another book about the triplets in the near future.

A heartwarming saga of sisterhood at Heatherly Hall. The characters are fun, colorful and there is excellent character development in this wonderful book. The book is full of humor and funny moments with some cozy mystery. This is a really great story with lots of interesting things happening that will hold your attention until the end. Wonderful reading that you don’t want to miss!

We found this book to be sweet, Julie Houston is a powerhouse author and this book did not disappoint. This was our first book with the Quinn triplets we loved meeting Rosa, Hannah and Eva. This story was ride because we felt it gave us moments with a wide range of emotions. We laughed. we were wrenchingly sad and everything in between, but in the end we were left smiling.
January 20, 2024
This series goes from strength to strength and this latest instalment is the best yet. Lots of drama, the triplets are in full force and with an intriguing back story and a new wedding to plan its all go yet again. Some good surprises, colourful characters and an entertaining read.

Yet another well written enjoyable book by this author.
All the books in the Westenbury series build a picture of the village and the interaction of the inhabitants.

Again, the main point of interest was the triplets.
Very predictable.

I'm a great fan of this author's - and I think this may well be her best book yet!
Eva, Rosa and Hannah are always looking for ways to bring in more income to Heatherly Hall and secure it's future; when they get the chance = albeit at short notice - to host a celebrity wedding they go all out to make it a success. At the same time, the story of a missing set of jewellery comes to light and they use that to plan a fundraising evening with an Agatha Christie Am=dram play and a treasure hunt. With so much happening, the private lives of the triplets are pushed onto the back seat, but there is much going on there too . . .
This is a cracking story! Westenbury is one of my favourite mythical places and I adore all the characters who live thereabouts. There is so much to enjoy in this one; the characters, the story, the fun and laughter and the devious undercurrents - all adding up to a book which kept me hooked all the way through. Julie Houston's writing just keeps getting better and better and I am happy to both highly recommend this novel and give it a resounding five sparkling stars!
Eva, Rosa and Hannah are always looking for ways to bring in more income to Heatherly Hall and secure it's future; when they get the chance = albeit at short notice - to host a celebrity wedding they go all out to make it a success. At the same time, the story of a missing set of jewellery comes to light and they use that to plan a fundraising evening with an Agatha Christie Am=dram play and a treasure hunt. With so much happening, the private lives of the triplets are pushed onto the back seat, but there is much going on there too . . .
