Daphne Jones stands on the end of the jetty at Rivers End beach, practicing the ceremony for the wedding she's officiating in a few days. The last thing she expects to see in the ocean is a body, yet there it is. Suspicion falls on her friend Christie when the deceased is identified as an ex-employee - a woman who left under a cloud and who she had a secret meeting with the previous night. Daphne isn't about to let Christie, who is in the wedding party, take the blame and ropes in her best friend, Elizabeth, to help investigate. Meanwhile, Daphne's husband John is managing their real estate agency pretty much alone with his wife continually off sleuthing. It gets him thinking about plans to retire and when an old caravan comes up for sale, he considers it is a sign for them to begin the next phase of their lives. With the police close to arresting Christie, Daphne races to find evidence to exonerate her, as well as lead to the real killer. Will the puzzle fall into place in time, or will the wedding be postponed and the wrong person arrested? If you've read any of the Rivers End books, you'll love this fun and quirky quick read which features many of the beloved characters from The Stationmaster's Cottage and the following books. And Randall, as ever, is the star.

One wedding. Two feuding families. Three sneaky suspects. Daphne Jones has travelled with her cute-as-a-button camper Bluebell to the outback town of Little Bridges to officiate a wedding at a beautiful rural home. Such a perfect setting. But not so perfect people are determined to stop the union and before the day is done, a member of the bridal party ends up face down in the swimming pool. She's no detective nor a spring chicken, but Daphne does love a puzzle and her gut tells her this was no accident. Amid old family feuds, resentful relatives, and missing money, there are plenty of suspects, and none of them appreciates Daphne snooping in their business, but with a heart of gold and a way with words, this celebrant sleuth is not giving up. Unless the killer finds her first... The Daphne Jones Mysteries are later in life camping cozies with a travelling wedding officiant and a regional, small-town Aussie twist. A light and quirky story with a nosy main character.
