Murder at the Wedding (Modern Midwife Mysteries Book 1) by Christine Knapp – Review by Jennifer Crain
Murder at the Wedding by Christine Knapp
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Never being pregnant myself, I loved the facts/tidbits about pregnancy sprinkled at the beginning of each chapter. The start of the book contains a relevant quote from Moby Dick, which sets the tone for the whole book.
The line “I didn’t wake with nightmares. But then again, my nightmares were all coming in the daytime.” It sums up Maeve’s life as she tries to solve a mystery and save their family business. The book excels at character interactions and the main characters are fully flushed out. The field of obstetrics is also described, but not in a boring nonfiction way, but as part of the story.
I was also intrigued to read more about and find out “El Cid” could have been based on a real person!
I found the mystery to be easy to solve, but still really enjoyed this light hearted, fast read.
I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!
