    About this audiobook

    Olivia Denis is hesitant to help an old family friend get ready for her wedding outside London. The so-called friend is a master at using people. As a young widow trying to find her way through a new romantic relationship, Olivia would rather avoid the large party.

    She definitely didn't plan to find the bride's grandfather stabbed to death. The cruel, enormously rich aristocrat had changed his will only the day before, angering all his children.

    But as Olivia is forced to investigate the murder, she's called away by her employer, the owner of an influential London daily newspaper. She must carry out another secret assignment, one that will take her to Vienna, now part of Nazi Germany.

    With war on the horizon and attacks on the old man's family increasing, can Olivia find a way to save lives in two countries?

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n

      As a fan of this author’s Victorian Bookshop Mystery series, I wanted to try her Deadly series as well. I’m so glad I did as I enjoyed the time I spent with Olivia as well as her obnoxious wealthy cousins, her budding significant other – Adam, her employer at the newspaper, her photographer Jane, and, of course, her overbearing, disapproving father. My library didn’t have the first book in the series available, so I started with this one and it was no trouble at all to step right into the series and feel at home. I’ll definitely read the first book whenever my library has it available.I ‘read’ the audiobook version and the narrator did an overall nice job. The pacing was nicely done, but, for me, the voice was too high-pitched and whiny when doing ‘posh’ aristocratic voices.Widowed Olivia Dennis didn’t want to move back to her father’s house after her husband, Reggie, was murdered, so she got a job at The Daily Premier as a society reporter. Her father was incensed at the idea of his daughter actually working. Luckily, he doesn’t know she’s also done some more clandestine reporting for her boss. He does know, however, that she is the one who solved her husband’s murder, and that is a bone of contention between them as well.Olivia has a love/hate relationship with her distant aristocratic cousins and she can’t believe she’s let Celia talk her into arriving early and helping Celia prepare for her wedding. With a rude, curmudgeonly patriarch, his equally rude adult children, and their adult children all living in the same household, there is little enjoyment in their company.The old patriarch is found murdered on Celia’s wedding day, but the discovery is hushed up until the wedding is done. Since it is Celia and her groom’s third try for a wedding, her mother wanted to make sure it happened this time! When Celia announces she doesn’t trust the police to find the correct murderer and tasks Olivia with investigating the crime, things get pretty tense. Nobody wants Olivia sticking her nose in their business – but – none of them are convinced the police will get it right either.At the same time, she is investigating the family murder, her boss assigns her a clandestine mission for him. That mission is truly dangerous since she must travel to an Austria that has just been annexed by Germany. Nazi’s have taken over and the drums of war can be heard in the distance. Can Olivia and Jane safely complete their mission and make it safely out of Austria? Oh! My!I thoroughly enjoyed this book and am looking forward to continuing with the series.

      1938 and Olivia Denis is asked my old friend Celia Eustace to help her with preparing for her wedding, a wedding that had already been postponed. So when the murdered body of Celia's grandfather is discovered she persuades Olivia not to call the police until after the wedding.
      She is asked by Celia to investigate the murder, but will it be the last. Meanwhile Olivia is sent by Sir Henry, her employer, to Vienna on a secret assignment.
      An enjoyable well-written mystery, which can easily be read as a standalone story.

      DEADLY WEDDING BY KATE PARKER: This is the first book I've read of the authors and I am more than happy with it. The setting : a wedding, or is it? The beginning of the book starts out to be a cozy mystery and morphs into something pretty special in my opinion. Olivia, thinking she's going to a wedding of a childhood friends, gets mixed up in a murder. Then, when you think Olivia's on the right track more death and near death. In the middle the story takes a bit of a twist because of a request from her boss at the newspaper, and no I'm not telling what!! The ending came as a surprise to me, which,with cozy mysteries does not happen very often. I loved the book. I loved the characters . And I loved the historical fiction aspect of the book. Well done KATE PARKER. I cant wait to read the next adventure of Livvy's I received this book from goodreads free in exchange for an honest review.
