She Doesn’t Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke

She Doesn’t Have a Clue by Jenny Elder Moke was such a fun and thrilling read! The banter between the characters was top-notch—sharp, witty, and kept me laughing throughout. 😂 The murder mystery had me hooked from start to finish, with twists and turns that kept me guessing. 🔍🕵️‍♀️

The cast of wedding guests was absolutely delightful, with a variety of personalities and backgrounds that made every interaction entertaining. From the quirky to the downright suspicious, everyone added something unique to the mystery. And oh, the aunt—aka “Bitch Bull of Wall Street”—she was so mean it was almost impressive! Her biting remarks and icy demeanor added another layer of drama to an already intriguing story. 😳😈

As for the romance, I loved the slow-burn chemistry between Kate and Jake. I loved their ex-friends-to-lovers dynamic and watching their relationship unfold was like watching a tangled web slowly come together. Their moments together were sizzling, and I couldn’t get enough of them. 😏🔥

If you love clever dialogue, an engaging whodunit, and a colorful array of characters (with a little romance thrown in), this book is a must-read. Highly recommend! 🙌📚

Blurb:

With a colorful cast of characters and a cellar full of wine, anything can happen—from murder to a second chance at love—in Jenny Elder Moke’s half mystery, half romance adult debut set at a lavish destination wedding.

A high-end wedding on a private island off the coast of Seattle sounds like something out of a magazine. But for bestselling mystery author Kate Valentine, it’s more like a nightmare. Why Kate agreed to attend her ex-fiancé’s wedding is its own enigma, but she’ll plaster on a fake smile for two nights, with the aid of free champagne, naturally. And because the groom happens to be her editor, she’ll try to finish a draft of her latest Loretta Starling mystery as a wedding gift.

When the bride is poisoned and Kate stumbles across a dead body, she finds herself in a real-life mystery that eerily echoes the plot of her latest novel. And the only person who seems willing to help Kate catch the killer is Jake Hawkins, aka: the Hostralian; aka: Kate’s biggest romantic regret. As the wine flows and the weather threatens to hold every guest hostage, bitter resentments and long-held grudges surface amongst the colorful crowd.

Anyone could be capable of murder, it seems. What would Loretta do? Unfortunately, Kate doesn’t have a clue.

XOXO, Courtney
