Publisher's summary

The devil is in the details....

Cletus Byron Winston wishes to marry Jennifer Anne Donner-Sylvester (aka The Banana Cake Queen) posthaste! He’s spent the last year wanting nothing more than for the celebrations to be brief, libations flowing, and BYOB (bring your own blueberries). His future mother-in-law has other plans - plans his intended has been willing to indulge, much to Cletus’s chagrin. Therefore, so must he. To a point. But truth be told, he wouldn’t mind if the meddlesome matriarch disappeared, at least until the nuptials are over.

On the night of Cletus and Jenn’s long-awaited engagement party, just when the surly schemer is of a mind to take matters into his own hands, a shocking event upends everyone’s best-laid plans and sends the small hamlet of Green Valley into complete disarray. The final months leading up to Cletus and Jenn’s matrimonial bliss are plagued with chaos and uncertainty. Will Cletus and Jenn finally make it to the altar? Or will murder and mayhem derail their happily-ever-after? And most importantly, who done it?

Marriage and Murder is the second book in the cozy mystery series Solving for Pie: Cletus and Jenn Mysteries. It is best enjoyed after the third book in the Winston Brothers series, Beard Science (which can be enjoyed as a stand-alone), and the first book in Solving for Pie: Cletus and Jenn Mysteries series, Engagement and Espionage.

Do I even have the words?

Do I even have the words to express how much I loved this installment of Jen and Cletus’ story? I didn’t want it to end. I absolutely couldn’t get enough.
1) the humor is wonderful
2) these characters, as crazy as they are, feel like family
3) Reid mixes so much wisdom with the humor.
4) the mystery was pretty great, too.
5) OMG, she took the “grown up scenes” to a whole new level. 🌶

Good plot for the story. It kept me guessing.

This story seemed a bit wordy @ times and Jen was a bit too naive for her age.
The story line was excellent. Looking forward to the next one. What happens with Jason and Diane? Diane is at the wedding , where is Jason? What happened with him?

Good girl

I fainted. I fainted when Cletus said “good girl” during a steamy scene. CB can do no wrong, IMO.

Intrigue, love, sexy - the whole enchilada

The characters and narration of such are perfection in their almost- realness. The mystery is solid. Multiple story lines and characters lines. And she knows how to write the hot scenes without it being cringy - usually I fast forward with other writers. But I’m here for the story and can’t wait for the next in series!

a satisfying conclusion to this couple

This story was fast paced, hilarious and just a little bit of mystery all wrapped into one satisfying conclusion to this duet. I absolutely adore the Winston brothers series and cant get enough of this hilarious family
