Join us on Saturday, March 7th, at 2 pm as author Maren C. Tirabassi reads from and discusses her new book:
"Death Throws a Bouquet: A Rev and Rye Mystery"
Everyone believes their wedding day is special, but a reverend's June calendar is filled with more than a few "special" days. The Rev. Wanda Duff has to juggle her officiant duties alongside caring for her beloved teenage nephew, the impending arrival of her sister with her Scottish fiancé for their wedding (which Wanda soon realizes she is expected to plan), and a new houseguest in the form of her future brother-in-law's son, who's happy to show her nephew a little more summer adventure than Wanda's strictly comfortable with. Oh, and there's her favorite retired sheriff, who wants her to look into the accidental slip-and-fall death of a high school teacher well-known for ruffling feathers. Because what Wanda needed was to fit in a good sleuthing between rehearsal dinners and family drama?
High school vice principal Prudence Rye also has plenty of good reasons to pass on another small-town mystery, not the least of which is her own family drama in the form of her resurfaced long-lost sister, a student in crisis, and an enormous helping of unrequited feelings for (oh no) both of her best friends. But when the investigation involves students at her high school who live at the apartments where the teacher died, Rye is compelled to partner with the Rev to get to the bottom of an accident that doesn't seem so accidental.
It turns out that a murder investigation is a lot like planning a wedding. It requires discretion, the ability to pivot, and an instinct for trouble. The Rev and Rye have all three, plus friends and new family willing to help. Will it be enough to catch a killer and pull off the wedding of the season?
