Abby Knight and Denise Swanson's Skye Denison are among my favorite cozy mystery characters. They both live in the Midwest, and I suspect they're similar in age. I picture Abby being a bit shorter and somewhat smaller than Skye, but they're both wonderfully independent strong people who exhibit courage, intelligence, and humility in their sleuthing efforts.

We've finally arrived at Abby's cousin, Jillian's wedding as the book opens. The groom's grandma is entering into the fog of dementia, and among her other duties, Abby must watch Grandma during the reception. Abby's over-protective Uncle arrives with his entirely cowed daughter, Melanie. Melanie's ex-husband, Jack, is there, too, and he is there to convince Melanie to run away with him--something she's entirely unwilling to do.

Before the reception ends, the groom's grandma and Abby find Jack murdered, and Abby's work of building her suspect list begins.

This is a fun and interesting mystery driven primarily by Abby's memorable character. You can't help but invest in her and want to come back to another installment of the series to see how she is. Before the book ends, someone else will die, and while I figured out the killer, I didn't get there until almost the same time Abby did, which added much to the book's fun.
