True crime writer Bailey Weggins has become embroiled in her third mystery and this time she’s more involved than ever.

'Til Death Do Us Part Excerpt I inched my way along the wall as quietly as possible. My eyes were beginning to adjust to the darkness, but I still couldn’t see much. I heard more footsteps and froze in place. A form appeared in the doorway from the living room.....I held my breath, willing myself to shrink into the walls. For a few seconds he just stood there, his head looking left to right. Then the movement ceased as he picked me out in the darkness. In one swift move he bolted toward me. He reached clumsily for my arm and yanked, trying to pull me to the ground. ©2004 Kate White Published with permission from Warner Books

Ashley Hanes has come to Bailey with what she believes is a double murder. Having been acquainted with the first alleged victim and roommates with the second, she thinks she will be next. She’s right.

What’s the connection? They were bridesmaids in the same wedding...as was Bailey.

Now Bailey must follow the clues to develop or dismiss potential motives. And she has to start at what could be the beginning--the wedding. This means getting together with the former bride-from-hell and current Martha Stewart-wannabe, Peyton Cross, and working her way through suspects from there.

Tension gets high and Bailey’s detective work becomes more important when she gets attacked and receives a warning. Unfortunately, she’s on her own because the cops think she’s nothing more than a paranoid journalist trying to make her own story.

Bailey must find out who’s offing the bridesmaids...before she joins the ranks of the deceased.

Bookworm's Briefing
Kate White has delivered to fans of mystery yet another amateur sleuth. This is one that readers will alternately want to put a stranglehold on for stepping into obvious traps or silently urge on to victory.

It’s true, Bailey knows how to question people. That is her job, after all.

What she doesn’t know how to do is stay away from a bad situation. She may solve the case, but whether it’s from brilliant deduction or simply stumbling onto the solution is questionable. While there is a refreshingly perfect balance between dialogue and narration, the tension seems obligatory rather than natural and it comes too predictably.

Die-hard detective fans, especially those of female sleuths, will happily set any negative aspects aside and enjoy ’Til Death Do Us Part just the same. While it’s not an edge-of-your-seat nail biter, it does make for a good read on a slow night.
