Invitation to Murder

Jennifer Shane has opened her own specialty Card marking store in Rebel Forge and on her first day of business runs into a few snags. Her first customer wants 400 custom hand made wedding invitations for her daughters' nuptials in less than a week. Jennifer takes on the commission but just as she is closing shop for the day, a wrong number plunges her into a murder investigation. (her brother is the town sheriff.)
This was a quick, lighthearted cozy mystery which introduced this series delightfully. It's not major literature, but fun and easy to follow. I hope to find another of these soon.

What a fun first book in a series. This is also a first book by this author for me, although Elizabeth Bright is actually Tim Myers I haven't read any of his other books. I think he has hooked me with this one so I'll be reading others.

Jennifer has just opened her own card making shop when she receives a wrong number phone call for "Donna". While Jenn is trying to explain that the person has a wrong number the female caller lets out a blood curdling scream and the phone goes dead. Jenn calls her brother, the sheriff, and the mystery begins. Who called, who was she afraid of, who is Donna, and once the body is found, who wanted her dead?

There are card making tips included in the book which is interesting and we get a chance to meet show more Jenn's family including her Aunt who is a unique lady but is currently volunteering to help Jenn get her new business started.

This was a fun and quick read for me, now looking forward to more in the series. show less
