The bridesmaid dresses are ruffles and ruffles of ugly, one bridesmaid is trying to micro-manage…well, pretty much everything, and the bride-to-be is a total bridezilla! Wedding bells will soon be ringing, but as usual, Fiona is a bridesmaid and not a bride. As the maid of honor, how can Fiona keep the volatile pre-wedding festivities running smoothly?

The problem is abruptly solved when the bride drops over dead at the elegant wine-tasting wedding rehearsal. Yikes! Who poisoned the wine? The suspects are lining up, and Fiona finds herself at the top of the list! Double yikes! It’s a vintage murder case for Fiona, Detective Landry, and the gang. Cheers!

In this mystery, Fiona Quinn becomes the prime suspect when she hands a glass of poison to her bridezilla cousin. Such begins another fun C.S. McDonald Mystery. It was the perfect length for an afternoon while having to do some mindless work. With Maren Swenson Waxenberg's fabulous narration (she really brings Fiona to life!) such mindless work was actually fun work while picturing Fiona and Nate on their latest adventure.

Tastes Like Murder
A Fiona Quinn Mystery #4
By C.S. McDonald

Fiona Quinn is the maid of honor at a murder, not that murder was on the schedule. Nope, it was supposed to be a wedding for Fiona's cousin. But when the rehearsal goes wrong and the bride ends up dead, Fiona is suspect number one. This time her "Kindergarten Teacher" persona doesn't protect her. Yikes!!

Even worse, Fiona handled the murder weapon. It was all innocent, of course. But then it goes viral, and everyone is quick to question just what hides behind her Kindergarten Teacher façade. Double Yikes!!!

I really enjoyed this book. The pacing was excellent, and the various family members/suspects make for an exciting who-did-what-to-whom to the very end. And, yes, it was a well-played game up to the very end, and only the smallest of clues will offer the answers that they seek.

And then there are Fiona's home parents there for the wedding. With an armload of Yorkies to harass her nosy neighbor and her mom, Nancy taking on her own investigation into the murder, well, it won't get boring.

I listened to the audio version of this, and the narration was excellent. The book was narrated by Maren Swenson Waxenberg and was well presented. At 4-3/4 hours, this was the perfect quick listen as I was able to enjoy it over a week of commute time.

This was most definitely a cozy mystery, and I would have no qualms recommending it to any reader over twelve years of age. I love Fiona's reaction when she is referred to as a ""Kindergarten teacher." And then there is Grandma Evelyn, still up to her antics in Fiona's house and always worth a smile or two. This is one to add to your Summer TBR list though maybe not at the beach.

I was provided a complimentary copy of this audiobook with no expectations but that I provide my honest opinion. All thoughts expressed are my own.

Fiona a murderer? Say it isn't so!

Tastes Like Murder is the fourth installment from A Fiona Quinn Mystery series. Even though it is part of a series, I believe this one can be read as a stand alone. I personally had not had the pleasure of reading those books and did not feel as though I was missing anything by not reading them. However, I plan to go back and do so. I thought this was a good little mystery. I did not find that it was too predictable and held my attention from the start until the end. I had to see how it was going to end. It was a fun and entertaining all of the way through. I liked it.

I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of Tastes Like Murder. The voice of Maren Swenson Waxenberg was a perfect addition to the story. Her performance was superb at bringing this fun tale to life. I had a hard time pushing the pause button on the player. I wanted to keep listening to see what would happen next.

I am giving Tastes Like Murder four and a half stars. I would love to read the previous books from the A Fiona Quinn Mystery series to see what happened in those. I recommend this one for readers who enjoy reading cozy mystery and light suspense. I thought it was really good.

I received Tastes Like Murder from the publisher. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
