A Most Unpleasant Wedding

By (author): Judith Alguire

Another summer, and The Pleasant Inn is filled to capacity. This season is especially exciting, as perennial guests Miss Miller and her long-time admirer Mr. Simpson have chosen to marry at the Inn. Margaret and Trevor Rudley are delighted to host the wedding, and the guests and staff are clamouring to be involved. Everything looks set to go off without a hitch, until a body of a neighbour is discovered behind the inn and events turn from hopeful to horrific.

AUTHOR

Judith Alguire

Judith Alguire is a Kingston, Ontario writer, whose previous novels include All Out and Iced, both of which explored the complex relationships of sportswomen on and off the playing field. Her short stories, articles and essays have appeared in such publications as The Malahat Review and Harrowsmith, and she is a past member of the editorial board of the Kingston Whig-Standard. A graduate of Queen’s University, she currently works as a visiting nurse in the Kingston area. The Pumpkin Murders is the second of the Rudley mysteries, named for the cantankerous proprietor of the Pleasant Inn. The first, Pleasantly Dead, was published by Signature Editions in 2009.


Reviews

You wouldn’t necessarily think of Canada as an automatic setting for a cozy mystery series. Yet that is what Judith Alguire has achieved and can in many ways be seen as a Canadian Agatha Christie or MC Beaton.

Another summer, and The Pleasant Inn is filled to capacity. This season is especially exciting, as perennial guests Miss Miller and her long-time admirer Mr. Simpson have chosen to marry at the Inn. The guests and staff are clamouring to be involved, particularly Bonnie Lawrence, a young wife adrift while her husband is off fishing. Margaret and Trevor Rudley are delighted to host the wedding, and barring Mrs. Lawrence’s obsessive interfering, everything is set to go off without a hitch.

But when a neighbour is found dead in the woods behind the inn, the possibility of a joyous occasions starts looking distinctly less likely. Rudley barely tolerates the presence of the police, who are once again on site interviewing the guests as possible suspects. Detective Michel Brisbois is back, heading up the case, and even though she’s prenuptially preoccupied, Miss Miller refuses to be left out from solving yet another murder at The Pleasant… much to her own peril.
