Publisher's summary

When Lucy Stone arrives at a sprawling French chateau with the whole family, it should be the trip of a lifetime—especially because she’s about to watch her oldest daughter, Elizabeth, marry the handsome, successful man of her dreams.

But while navigating the vast countryside estate owned by her daughter's impenetrably wealthy in-laws-to-be, the jet-lagged mother of the bride has a creeping feeling that Elizabeth’s fairytale nuptials to Jean-Luc Schoen-Rene are destined to become a nightmare. Maternal instincts are validated the moment a body is pulled from a centuries-old moat on the property. A young woman has dropped dead under mysterious circumstances—possibly at the hands of someone at the chateau—and unflattering rumors about the Schoen-Rene line and their inner circle flow like champagne. Then there’s the matter of Elizabeth’s hunky ex beau showing up on the scene as she prepares to walk down the aisle...

With tensions building, personalities clashing, and real dangers emerging at the chateau, Lucy is determined to protect her family, together for the first time in years, and expose the one responsible. She’ll have to locate the culprit among a list of worldly jilted lovers and potential criminal masterminds or Elizabeth’s trip down the aisle could end in tragedy...

5 Stars

I love this series. Lucy Stone and her family feel like old friends. I love that Leslie Meier is able to keep this family alive and continues to deliver fresh material in this long lived series. I look forward to seeing what happens next.

pretty good

It's pretty good, a little disappointed that it isn't longer though. Could have used just a little more fleshing out, particularly in the last 3 hours.

Not a favorite

I listened to the entire book hoping it would get better. While the travel, romance, and later drama were entertaining enough, it took forever to finish. Lucy has become a whiny worrywart. I may be finished with this series, as I don’t like all the woke preachiness this one rejoiced in. In fact I am returning this book... edit: i can't return the book it seems because i listened to the whole book. Too bad

The narrators voice is so hard to listen to

I’ve listened to each book up until now, I don’t even know if I can finish this book with this narrator. It’s nothing like what Lucy should sound like

Bill is a brat!

I don’t like Bill, never have. He is way too condescending and the only time he’s the least bit nice to her is when he wants a little something something!!

Eh

Where’s the usual narrator? The new one is confusing. The story is ok. The hidden political agendas in the book is annoying. I just want to fun/good story. Not my fave at all.

Not a fan of narrator - confusing

New narrator that uses the same voice for American female characters, then another slightly different voice for American male characters and so on. It was hard to follow story because I never knew which character was talking. Also storyline was confusing because the series continuity had some gaps in this book. This audiobook was just off. Sorry I used a precious credit on this.
