5/5 A must read for this series
Great writing and Great Narration= A must read
I have loved The Library Lovers' Mysteries from book 1, but Book 11 is a must read. So many things are happening and none of them you want to miss. NO spoiler from me---listen with delight to Allyson Ryan's narration. It will bring you to tears.

3 dead bodies and wedding vows
Of course there had to be a few dead bodies before Lindsey and Sully exchanged their wedding vows. It was a bit formulate, but all in all it was a good read. I am happy they finally tied the knot. I am interested to see where the author takes the series next. A light listen.Worth a credit.

Narration is flawless, story is ok
I am a fan of this author and the series, but this book was not my favorite. It was a joy to see the main character marry the man of her dreams after a long build up of their story. However, It was obvious early on who the murderer was.

AT LAST
I DO LOVE THIS SERIES, AND THIS BOOK WAS CERTAINLY A HIGHLIGHT IN A SERIES I HOPE CONTINUES FOR A VERY LONG TIME. LINDSEY, SULLY, BETH, ROBBIE, EVEN EMMA, AND OTHERS BRING SUCH STRENGTH AND WARMTH, LAUGHTER AND TEARS, TO A BRILLIANTLY WRITTEN STORYLINE. THE FRIENDSHIPS ARE GENUINE AND FAMILY IS MORE THAN BLOOD. BRAVO, JENN, FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
