I once loved the Jane Jeffry Mysteries but this one is far from being a mystery and even if read as a "Novel" it is bad.

Not the best, by far. Story centers around Jane and the life changes that are happening; not much mystery. The mystery seems to have been almost forgotten. Is Ms Churchhill getting tired of writting about Jane?? Seems like it to me. Sorry to see her go.

Not really a mystery, as the story really revolves around Jane's life and the changes that are going on. The mystery is really the second story line, and not the main theme.

Jane is finally getting married to detective Van Dyne, and she and Shelly spend a lot of time finding the right fabrics, hats and flowers for the fake wedding to be thrown by Mel's mother. Meanwhile her deceased husband's mother tries to play havoc with the whole thing. Jane's children are almost all grown, so we have seen their development, and we get to meet her parents, too. It is more of a Jane story than a mystery.

Surburban supersleuth Jane Jeffry and Detective Mel VanDyne have finally decided to get married, but they're going to have to fight off Jane's new mother-in-law and find a killer along the way down the aisle. The Jan Jeffry books are always worth the read, nice and cozy, laced with subtle humor and a good plot.

I started reading the Jane Jeffry books when the very first one was published. And although I always enjoyed dipping into the Jane and Shelly world - the mysteries have been getting less and less compelling.

Unfortunately, this last installment, did not truly have a mystery that Jane was involved in at all. While it was nice to have the story of Jane come to some closure, the book was pretty much devoid of plot, contained MANY inconsistencies with things established earlier in the series and felt like Jill Churchill was writing out of contractual obligation rather than because she had a story to tell.

Jane Jeffry and longtime beau Detective Mel VanDyne finally decide to marry, but Mel's overbearing mother wants to take charge of not only the rehearsal dinner but the actual wedding. Since Jane half expected Mel's mother to steamroll the entire event, she agrees—but with rules of her own. No bridesmaids, no groomsmen. And she can't tell Jane what to wear.

But during what should have been a blissful interval between the engagement and the bouquet toss, several other occurrences take place. Mel convinces Jane and her best friend, Shelley Nowack, to take a women's safety class. They learn a lot, but the class is cut short when a dead body is discovered. So between Jane's wedding planning, her new writing project, and a battle between both mother-in-laws, a murderer must be found before this bride can walk happily down the aisle.
