Wedding Bells Brew Murder

Sara and Sean Cozy Mystery Series, Book 2


With all the guests at Sara and Sean’s wedding suspected of murder, her walk down the aisle will need to wait...

Everything is going perfectly on the big day until Sara opens the door of her bridal suite. Darlene Day, who made the wedding cake, falls into the room, a serving knife plunged into her back.

As the organists start to play “Here Comes the Bride,” Sara calls a pause to the proceedings. There’s a murder to solve, and the motive may be in the icing.

Darlene wasn’t the most loved person in the small town of Cotton Spring Falls, but rumor has it that she refused the offer of a big franchise to buy her bakery. Did they go so far as murder to put her out of business?

But when it’s discovered their wedding cake was poisoned, Sara and Sean could have been the intended victims all along. Did Darlene stumble upon the killer’s conspiracy and they silenced her before she could reveal their secret? Is it someone on the invitation list or the mysterious wedding crasher?

As long as the coffee is hot, and Sara has Sean and her beagle, Magnum, at her side, she isn’t going down in a heap of tulle and lace.

"Wedding Bells Brew Murder is the second book in the Sara and Sean Cozy Mystery Series by Carolyn Arnold. I fell in love with Sara and Sean in the first book in the series Bowled Over Americano but I must say that even though Bowled Over Americano was a great read I enjoyed Wedding Bells Brew Murder way more."

Goodreads review

“I love a good cozy mystery, Carolyn Arnold usually writes nail biting, suspense-filled thrillers, but I have to give her kudos - she knows how to craft a cozy mystery as well.”

Ebook Addicts

“I love this series! The Sara and Sean mysteries are fun and unpredictable. They're likable and doggedly (pun intended) determined to find out who dunnit. Another great series from Carolyn Arnold.”
