Fans of female sleuth cozies will delight in New York Times bestselling author Lynn Cahoon's latest installment in her long-running Tourist Trap Mystery series.
Jill's wedding to police chief Greg King is just days away, at a historic Spanish mission with a courtyard full of olive trees. But the folks in South Cove are more intrigued by what kind of ceremonies might be going on behind the walls of New Hope, the walled property where charismatic Kane Matthews and his followers reside. Jill isn't fond of the man, but his followers seem nice, and they buy a lot of books.

After a distraught woman stops by at Coffee, Books, and More with a picture of her daughter, who she believes needs rescuing from the suspected cult—and then Matthews's body is found, at Jill's wedding venue of all places—Jill makes a commitment to solve the case. With Greg's mother as a houseguest, she must play hostess to her future in-law while pursuing a murderous outlaw . . .

      A bookstore owner's last-minute wedding plans are complicated by dueling investigations into a local religious organization that may be a cult. Most brides don't dream of January weddings, but Jill Gardner, who's already had to put off her vows with police chief Greg King twice, hopes the third time will be the charm. Of course, every day in South Cove, California, has all the charm to be expected from a cozy getaway town mixed with a little light magic of aura-reading and such. Since Greg's mom has been too sick to travel until now, Jill is glad that Amanda can make the journey out for the wedding--at least, she's glad until Amanda shows up a full week early. What's Jill going to do with a mother-in-law she suspects may still hold a candle for Greg's last relationship? But Jill, a can-do gal, gamely invites Amanda on all her pre-wedding errands. Jill even gets Amanda in to visit the New Hope community, a local group otherwise shrouded in secrecy and tight security. It's not clear to South Cove residents whether the community, formally known as the Central California Society for the Advancement of the Mind and Body ("CCSAMB, or C-scam, as most locals called it"), is harmless or a cult. A distraught mother who's lost her daughter to CCSAMB begs Jill for help and hopes to convince her to get involved. Though Greg doesn't like Jill getting herself into trouble yet again, he's diverted when newcomer Kane Matthews is killed. Do all trails lead back to New Hope? Details may delight or distract in a series entry that pushes the main plot down the aisle.
