Just gets better and better

I just loved this book and just had to add it to my audio book collection. So glad I did because it was even better than I remembered. Once again the author has created another well thought out story where so much happens that you never get time to breath, let alone get board. I like all the inner workings of the hotel and the wedding planning when Julienne isn't busy catching a killer. The characters are fun and likeable and with book three you have got to know them so well that they feel like old friends, Julienne's friend Porshe isn't in this book so much (she was my favourite character from the last book and another book that is well worth a listen) but it more than makes up for it with the addition of the hunky British M15 agent Liam, which very much complicates her life. The mystery was good and had plenty of suspects to keep you and Julienne guessing. It unfolded nicely, with lots of twists, amusing situations and misunderstandings. Just a fun cozy mystery that I would recommend, in fact I have to my mum.
Julienne doesn't like weddings probably because her love life isn't going so well but as a trainee assistant manager for a hotel she is the one liaising with the couple and there family. That is until a private detective is killed with her business card in his procession. Then worrying about the right cake is the last thing on her mind, especially as the annoying detective that tried to arrest her after the last murder is back. This time Julienne has the management's blessing to look into the case and clear the hotel of any bad publicity, especially when the Brides brother who is an M15 agent offers to help. The dead man had been seen at the hotel a number of times following people but that doesn't explain why he has her card. The dead man wasn't a very ethical detective and made a number of enemies especially when he resorted to blackmail but with the murder weapon being poison she needs to find out who had the opportunity. Then another body is discovered and the blackmail motive seems more probable but who? With the wedding fast arriving and her feelings for both Bond junior, an old boy friend and 107, Liam, growing, Julienne has her work cut out for her to find the killer before the hotel makes the evening news, again.
The narrator was really good and it was a pleasure to listen to her being the characters to life, I especially liked the accents she used.
