About this listen

When two bodies are found on the back lawn of the Hawthorne estate, the police find private investigator Milo Rathkey already on the scene, dragged into the investigation by Mary Alice Bonner, who had hoped to use Hawthorne for her annual New Year’s Eve party.

The dead are identified as a young couple who were touring their wedding venue the night before. The police think the bride-to-be was the target. Milo suspects the killer was after the groom. All Mary Alice Bonner knows is that it’s hard to plan a party with bodies on the lawn. Murder again! Happy New Year!

I did enjoy this but got very confused at the start as was introduced to too many characters all at once and being new to the series, I got lost as to who everybody was. Once I caught up I enjoyed the mystery of who was the main target and why the couple had to die. The characters were interesting and there is obviously a lot of history that I have missed out on, so might just have to go back to the start. The witty banter, jokes and camaraderie of the whole book was fun. I liked the unusual murder weapon and learnt way more about arrows than I need to know.
With her house under renovation Mary Alice needs to find a new place to hold her annual New Years eve party but her plans are once again put on hold when a couple is found dead on the lawn. They were hoping to hire the house for the wedding but as the bride left behind a string of ex finances the police are quick to make her as the target. Milo a police consultant isn't so sure and thinks the groom might have been the main target after he finds out the man had been threatened by a number of investors. Can Milo work out which one was the main target and who was collateral? He will have to it be wants to catch a killer and go to a new years eve party where no dead bodies are found.
The narrator was okay but it didn't help the story that all the characters tender to sound the same. It hasn't stopped me from getting one of the previous books in this series of which he is still the narrator.
