This is the second book I've read in the Provincetown Mystery series, but it could easily be read as a stand-alone. Impetuous Sydney Riley is the wedding and events planner for the Race Point Inn, one of Provincetown, MA’s most prestigious hotels. Additionally, she is an amateur detective who has solved several murders, which have been chronicled in the 8-book series. This novel finds Sydney's parents visiting her for a few days, so in addition to preparing for an upcoming wedding and making sure her parents (including her overbearing mother) are entertained, she is trying to solve the kidnapping and murder of the wealthy owner of a local whale watching fleet.
The killer was a surprise to me, even though in hindsight I realized the author sprinkled clues throughout the book. What makes this so entertaining and a notch above the typical cozy is Sydney's internal sarcastic monologue - the humorous conversations and one-liners she wishes she would actually say to her mother. She has a great relationship with her boyfriend Ali, who is in law enforcement, and her close friendship with her girlfriend, Mirella, demonstrates Sydney's personality and intelligence.
As the book jacket says, this is a novel of irony and intrigue that often humorously converges between family and fatality. ( )
