Wedding's Widow

Cassidy McCabe #7

by Alex Matthews

The marriage was over before it even began. As the couple spoke their vows, shots rang out and the groom dropped dead. Cassidy McCabe watches in stunned silence as the woman she helped to find happiness with the right man, becomes a widow at her own wedding. No question the hit was professional. Now the big puzzle is, who killed Max O'Connell? Cassidy thinks the primary cause of death was, in fact, the victim's upcoming marriage to Clair Linden. The law agrees because Claire's ex-husbandis now the prime suspect. Crossing the line between psychotherapy and sleuthing, Cassidy starts pulling apart the layers of inconsistencies, exposing some incriminating evidence that earns her a blow to the head, and a warning to stop looking for answers... or die trying.

I really found it annoying how the bickering conversations went between husband and wife. And how the psychoanalyst wife talked to herself in her head. If that was a real marriage, I'm not sure how many couples would stay together.

Definitely kept me reading, and I didn't see the killer coming. If I found another book in this series, I'd check it out, but I'm not going to run out to find more. One odd thing - the back of the book was full of ads for Harlequin Romances, which this most definitely is not!
