Stan and Jake’s wedding will soon take place on the town green in Frog Ledge, Connecticut, followed by a reception at their beloved Irish pub filled with friends, family, and their four favorite canine companions. Stan just has to endure the traditional girls’ night out first. Male strippers jumping out of gigantic cakes aren’t her preferred entertainment. But the hired hottie never gets around to taking it all off . . . because someone takes him out first with one of Stan’s kitchen knives. A heartbroken Stan recognizes the victim as one of the delivery men from the local farm—who must have been moonlighting for some extra cash. Now the guest list has turned into a suspect list—and Stan’s making a vow to find the killer . . .[summary via Amazon]
I started reading the Pawsitively Organic Mysteries in 2014. Back then I had two less cats and I was enthralled with both the mystery and characters, but also the idea of making cat treats for my feline companions. Since reading Kneading the Die this has been one series that I haven't missed a new release for... and now Stan and Jake are getting married, but not without a murder to solve!
Stan is looking for a small, quiet wedding in Frog Ledge to the love her life, Jake. However, it seems her family has other ideas. Her sister, Caitlynn, is determined to throw Stan a wild bachelorette party. Unfortunately the party turns deadly when the stripper, that Caitlynn has hired, turns up dead. It's up to Stan to put aside the wedding plans and solve a murder.
I love every visit to Frog Ledge, but this one is extra special. Stan and Jake are getting married!! Of course we all know weddings are wonderful... and stressful! This time Stan has to not just solve a mystery (well she could mind her own business, but when is an amateur sleuth ever going to do that?) but also try to keep her mom and sister in check, and stop them from destroying her wedding plans.
I really enjoyed the two plots twisting together in Murder, She Meowed. While the stripper's murder isn't directly related to her wedding, he died at her place of business and Stan's determined to solve the murder before she walks down the aisle.
In her own subtle way, Liz Mugavero has been promoting animal welfare, feeding grain-free and adopting your furry friends, and I simply adore this. This series, and Liz herself, is a big supporter of animals and looking after them, and this is part of what makes it one of my favourite series! And Nutty, but don't tell the two Maine coons that live in my house!!
Together with a great mystery to solve, Murder, She Meowed hit all the high notes for me. With a first class mystery, adorable furry friends and some new animal treat recipes to try... you can see why this seres is #1 on my most recommended series for animal lovers.
