This is another entertaining addition to the series and it's funny in parts, too. It reminds me of the TV show Bridezilla, with the crazy fiance who won't let her future mother-in-law death get in the way of her wedding. The author's expression of her over-the-top selfishness in the face of her boyfriends grief is nicely done.

The mystery in this one is good with lots is unexpected clues, twists and turns galore, and the usual quirky characters so you won't get bored. As you'd suspect, Marcy's shop plays an important role and once again the author pulls various needlecrafts into the story line, along with new and old characters as they wander in and out the front door.

I was surprised with the appearance of Marcy's ex-fiance, David...and is this guy a jerk, showing the reader how lucky our heroine was to have not married him. His scenes are nicely written, allowing Marcy some closure. The books pacing definitely isn't that of a rollercoaster but it's steady up until nearly the end. There it slows and abruptly wraps up, which I found rather disappointing.

One thing that's started to bother me is Marcy and the romantic triangle that seems to be developing between her and the men in her life. The juggling of the two, under the nose of the other, is getting annoying. Its making her appear indecisive and I hope it doesn't drag out much longer.
