this is the last book of the Antique shop Mysteries. I enjoyed this series, and this last book was no exception. Maggie is trying to solve a murder while getting her daughters wedding together, with the help of her friends of course!

I picked this up second hand because it is a very nicely made book, I have to say! I found the hardcover edition, and it even has a little ribbon bookmark. But anyway, as far as an actual review goes . . . ;)

I had not read any of the other books in the series, but I found it easy enough to follow along. The strength of the book is definitely its community of characters and calm tone. I spotted a big clue pretty early in the mystery, so I got ahead of the sleuths on that one, but it was fun to spend time with the entire cast!

This was a neat story about Maggie's story about her daughter's wedding and solving several crimes. Although I would have liked the author to confer with the other authors about a quilt that the daughter was involved in making.
