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

I really enjoyed this murder mystery. The story line was unique and kept me guessing who was the murderer all the way which kept me turning the pages.
The author does a great job with the characters. Some i immediately fell in love with whereas others i got an instant dislike for.
This story is a murder mystery. When the  Chief Obstetrician falls down dead at his daughters wedding there are some questions that need to be answered. Maeve O’Reilly Kensington is a midwife and it was her boss that suddenly passed away but what was the cause?
With her husband Will being the caterer for the wedding fingers start to point towards him as the culprit. Maeve knows she’s got to find the real killer to prove her husbands innocence.
With the new acting head of Obstetricians trying to do away with the midwife department Maeve professional and private lives collide. She knows she needs to solve this case and get to the bottom of what is happening not only to save her husbands business but also to save her own job. With the aid of her mother, sister and at times reluctant brother Maeve decides both of their futures rest on her shoulders and getting to the bottom of this case.
Was it just a sad untimely death? Did something more sinister play a part in the Chiefs death? Why would someone what to murder the Cheif Obststrician? As the secret and lies start to unravel Maeve starts to uncover things and things start to get dangerous.

This was a great cosy read that I couldn’t put down. I loved Maeves character and her determination to do what’s right no matter where the truth leads her.
