Theodosia Browning's friend Delaine Dish is getting ready to be married to Dougan Granville, and when the bride is looking for her groom, Theo discovers him dead.
   
Because of her penchant for solving mysteries, Delaine convinces Theo to run her own investigation at the same time as she is being wooed by ghost hunters.
   
The story was entertaining, the events that carried the mystery engaging, and the characters (old friends) were cheering.
   
I always feel so special when I receive the new books from Laura Childs asking for my opinion about her new books.  This one definitely didn't disappoint.
