I jumped into this series at #2. Although at moments I had the understandable feeling of having walked in partway through a conversation, by the end of the book I felt I had enough information that I was caught up with the series.

Unfortunately I loved the characters and disliked the sleuthing. If I hated both I could walk away from the series. Now I'll annoy myself with another one.

Semi-Spoiler: The bride-to-be is found in bed the morning after her batchelorette party, laying next to a dead body and clutching the murder weapon on page 42. So Brenna goes searching for clues, by looking up all the ex-girlfriends of the victim. It wasn't until page 140 that it occurs to her to revisit the night before. she never talks to any of the party-goers or the hired driver to find out who/how the victim ended up at home with the suspect. Really? That wasn't the first question?? No...better to go dig up all the old jilted girlfriends. Whatever. Hopefully the next "mystery" will be as well put together as the characters, because I'd love to get to know them better.
