Death Takes a Honeymoon (Carnegie Kincaid, Book 4) ReviewCarnegie Kincaid is not going to Idaho for the wedding of old friend, now famous TV actress Tracy Kane, and it didn't have anything to do with the fact she had once had a close encounter with the soon to be groom - smoke jumper, Jack "The Knack" Packard.
But her close friend, B.J. insists she needs her help, she has been unfaithful to her husband Matt, with Carnegie's cousin (who she was never close too), smoke jumper, Brian Theale. Brian won't give her back the specially designed necklace her husband had made for her and she has to have it by the wedding.
And then Brian is killed doing a smoke jump.
Was it an accident or murder?
Did it have anything to do with the necklace
Did it have anything to do with a supposed stolen treasure that the bride's late uncle, Roy was supposed to have stolen and who was thought to have committed suicide 30 years ago.
And on top of that Cissy Kane - mother of the bride insists Carneige take over as on-site wedding planner.
As more murders follow, Carneige begins to wonder if there are going to be enough guests left for the wedding.
And then there's that pesky fire.
Highlights:
Great mystery. Wonderful new characters. I love the detail about smoke jumpers and the work they do.
Aaron Gold - Carnegie's (We're just dating, nothing special as he tells the wedding guests) sort of boyfriend. Determined that he is not going to settle down and wants to keep things casual, but it doesn't stop him from getting into a knock down drag out fight when someone makes a comment about Carnegie.
Boris the florist, has to be flown in when the wedding's original florist is hospitalized with a bee sting. He is always funny and one of my favorite reoccuring characters.
Beau Paliere - Wedding Planner to the stars who shows up at the wedding after Cissy has substituted Carnegie for his manager. Beau is still upset about the toupee incident, but doesn't mind dumping all the work on Carnegie while getting all the praise.
Lowlights:
The reason this is a 3 star and not higher is the ending. Cliff Hanger's belong in weekly magazine's and old movie serials, not in books where the next one may not come out for another year. Since I read dozens of different series I don't instantly remember everything about characters or situations as soon as I start reading the book and may not remember a lot of details when I finally get this one, which looks like it's going to come out in January 2006.
A lot of the mystery wasn't really clearly explained, I don't know if that's because of the cliff hanger and it's going to be better explained in the next book, but I had a lot questions still unanswered.
Overall these books have really improved. I hated the first one. Thought the 2nd was ok and really like the 3rd one. I likeed this one until the end. So if you don't mind a cliff hanger at the end of a book, this has great mystery with lots of interesting and different characters.

Honeymoon with Murder (Death on Demand Mysteries, No. 4) ReviewThis is a nice fluffy cozy, deeply annoying in spots, but on the whole I must enjoy this series because I find I keep buying it. Annie Laurence owns "Death on Demand" bookshop, which is what every single one of Carolyn Hart's readers would do for a living if given the chance. There is one cat but she doesn't figure centrally. There's lots of good coffee. There's Annie's handsome, rich and adoring husband Max. There's an investigating officer so preposterously stupid it's astonishing he can walk around without an assistant reminding him to breathe every twenty seconds. There are about three references to the protagonist's (and, I suspect, author's) favourite mystery novels and writers per page. Although this is annoying, when the action gets slow you can amuse yourelf by counting them. Yet all said and done, this is a fun piece of candy-floss to while away a couple of hours on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Just don't go looking for any eternal verities. Or even temporary ones.Honeymoon with Murder (Death on Demand Mysteries, No. 4) Overview
