Murder At The Wedding
By: Christine Knapp

This is the first book in the Modern Midwife Mysteries series. This is a cozy mystery which is definitely why I grabbed it, well that and a very intriguing sounding premise that promised mystery coupled with what sounded like fantastic family drama that wasn’t my own.
Christine Knapp is fantastic at developing characters that feel like they could live in the house next door to yours. They are complex yet have problems that feel like the “neighbors dirty laundry” plus this story has murder which leads to crime and investigation and this literally had all the makings of my next favorite book. Christine Knapp has created a fantastic lead character in Maeve who seems as if she is made for TV with her quick comments and her inner monologue that will keep you laughing. She definitely keeps the pace of the story moving at a good clip and she is one of those main characters that you know that will be one that you will reach for again and again. I don’t want to compare her to Stephanie Plum, but that is the first character that comes to mind when I think of a very strong character driven series. Christine Knapp also does a fantastic job combining the mystery / crime genre with the medical genre. This added another wonderful element to the story. This book literally felt like it was written just for me with how many of my favorite things it included. I definitely recommend reading this and I hope to see more of Maeve in the future!
