    About this ebook

    When Holly Nichols sets her wedding date, trendy L.A. party-planner Madeline Bean decides to throw her top assistant the hippest and most lavish bridal shower on the planet. The guests embark on a "destination" party to a fabulous and exclusive spa/resort in Hawaii. The salt-rubs! The paraffin pedicures! The dead body in the mud bath! Ew.

    It doesn't help matters when Holly confesses to Maddie that she can't really go through with the upcoming wedding after all. In her effort to smooth the matrimonial path for her dear friend, Madeline must track down the mystery man Holly may have married ten years earlier and never actually got around to divorcing. How hard can that be?

    Well, with the elusive gentleman in question running from a gang of rare vegetable smugglers, the bridal shower guests imbibing in one "Bridesmaid Mojito" too many, the current fiancé developing an allergy to scandal, and a murderer on the loose, it looks like anything but clear sailing down the aisle for one of Mad Bean's best employees.

      Farmer presents a fun and delicious mystery series with the Madeline Bean novels set in Los Angeles. I just wish that Farmer would follow the lead of Joann Fluke and create a cookbook of the many recipes in the series. I enjoyed the romp throughout Hawaii and the snippets of Hawaiian history. I feel that Farmer downplays emotions, especially with Holly and her friend Liz. Farmer writes a happy mystery where most problems are resolved and the murder is just a sugarcoated death.
