Murder at the Wedding (Modern Midwife Mysteries Book 1) by Christine Knapp – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Murder at the Wedding by Christine Knapp
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging cozy mystery which kept me hooked throughout. Set in the New England seaside town of Langford, nurse-midwife Maeve O’Reilly Kensington works at Creighton Memorial Hospital. Maeve loves her job and enjoys helping women bringing new life into the world, but sadly her wish to have a child of her own with husband Will is yet to happen. Whilst supporting Will with his new catering business, Maeve attends the very extravagant wedding reception of the daughter of the Chief Obstetrician at Creighton Memorial. To everyone’s shock the doctor drops dead, and when Will’s catering is blamed Maeve starts her own investigation to find the killer and clear her husbands name. Along with her wealthy and acerbic sister Meg and her quick witted Irish mother, Maeve is determined to solve the murder, but as she try’s to stay one step ahead the killer is ready to strike again and this time Maeve and her loved ones are all at risk. This wonderfully written cozy mystery has well developed characters, a setting which comes to life through the descriptive narrative and a storyline which kept me happily turning the pages. Maeve is a great amateur sleuth as well as a nurse-midwife and I look forward to future books in this new series.
