Senior sleuths Carrie McCrite and Henry King are going to get married. Carrie is concerned what a senior bride would wear, so she enlists the help of her two friends, only they start taking over the planning. Since they suggested The Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs for the wedding, Carrie gets Henry to go check it out with her. While there, Carrie sees a ghost bride wearing red. Their caterers are shot at while talking to them.

Then they find out someone has been attacking their florists. It appears another florist in town has targeted them. After there is a murder and their florists shop is bombed, Carrie and Henry decide to try to locate the culprit behind all these acts. Can they do so without putting themselves or anyone else in danger?

In the meantime, Carrie has invited Henry’s half-sister to the wedding without Henry’s knowledge. Will he be upset if she shows up?

This is the first book in this series that I’ve read. I can assure you it won’t be the last. I really enjoyed Carrie and Henry. They are great senior sleuths. Henry is a former cop so he has a lot of knowledge about investigations. Carrie just wants to help and gets into many situations.

I also like that Carrie has good morals and isn’t another twenty-something sleuth. She also has a good head on her shoulders which comes in handy in investigations.

I can’t wait to read more in this series. I highly recommend this book.
