Butterscotch Jones Mystery #6
The Wedding: A Canadian Wedding Mystery
From Melanie Jackson, bestselling author of the Chloe Boston Mysteries, comes The Wedding, the sixth book in the charming, funny, and suspenseful Butterscotch Jones Canadian Cozy Mysteries.
The time has finally come.
Butterscotch Jones is ready to marry her Mountie.
After all the danger, chaos, misunderstandings, strange neighbors, bad weather, and near-disasters that have filled life in McIntyre’s Gulch, Butterscotch is prepared to walk down the aisle and begin the next chapter of her life with Chuck Goodhead.
At least, that was the plan.
The festivities are being arranged. The village is buzzing. Butterscotch is doing her best to remain calm. Then Chuck is called away on a dangerous case, leaving his bride-to-be to manage the wedding preparations without him.
Butterscotch is sure she can cope.
Unfortunately, fate has other ideas.
As the old saying goes, man plans, and the gods laugh. In McIntyre’s Gulch, they laugh twice as hard at frantic brides.
Now Butterscotch must deal with wedding plans that refuse to behave, a missing groom with a case to solve, a village full of opinions, and the growing fear that the wedding itself may not happen at all. Chuck needs to wrap up his investigation and get back on time, but danger, duty, and bad timing are all standing in the way.
Will the Mountie make it home before the ceremony?
Can Butterscotch survive the preparations long enough to say “I do”?
And can any wedding in McIntyre’s Gulch possibly go according to plan?
Warm, witty, romantic, and filled with the eccentric small-town charm readers love, The Wedding is a delightful cozy mystery for fans of quirky villages, spirited heroines, Mounties, mayhem, and weddings where everything that can go wrong probably will.
“A light, fun read with an eccentric cast of characters who bring the village of MacIntyre’s Gulch to delightful life.”
—Lisa Cach, author of Wake Unto Me
“Melanie Jackson is a talent to watch.”

You gotta read this
Loved it. Love this series and it's loveable/totally strange characters. Looks like the wedding is going to be a complete disaster. But we have to remember the townsmen have evolved into a big, beautiful, loving family. And we end up with a smile on our face. Can't wait for the next book. If I had any criticism, it's that the story wasn't long enough. Didn't want it to end.

Although these books are usually short and a bit disjointed in continuity I always enjoy visiting Butterscotch and her off the grid friends in Mac Intyrie's Gulch. And the Canadian Mountie arrives just in time for a very special wedding celebration, whats not to like!

I don't do book reviews.....
I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way.

Butterscotch and the motley McIntyre's Gulch residents prepare for her wedding
Butterscotch and her neighbors are Family. Each member finds a way to contribute in the preparations. It is from love and caring not expertise.
There is little suspense and no mystery in this story. But it is an enjoyable little story of love, survival and old fashioned " it takes a village" approach in life.

The people are unusual, they get some quirky idea, they all join together to have fun. Though it may seem like disaster, it always is a community thing, and everyine joins in. They are short, but long on enjoyment.

This is the 6th in the Butterscotch Jones series. I love Butterscotch. She faces everything that is thrown at her. In the one Chuck has finally asked her to marry him and they plan their wedding. Anything that could go wrong does but with the help of their many friends they do finally make it.

The characters are very real and I would love to know them. As for the wedding? A comedy of errors is all I can say. The book is extremely humorous and had me laughing for most of the story. Definitely a must read.

Funny would be an inadequate description of this one, it was beyond funny. I can't wait to read what happens next!
