MURDER ON SEA (Rina Martin Mystery Book 1)

A gripping cozy crime mystery full of twists.February was not a month that McGregor associated with weddings. He
assumed that most people would prefer to be married when the weather
was warm enough for the light-weight froth and frills that most brides of
his acquaintance deemed essential for the ushering in of connubial bliss.
He might have guessed that Naomi would do things differently.Cliff View had been licensed for weddings almost as soon as the
licences had become available, and the wonderful Art Deco building, with
its views of the ocean and rolling countryside, had been turned into the
perfect venue for celebration. The ceremony could be carried out in the
Summer Lounge, a high-ceilinged room, one wall of which was entirely
made up of window which gave on to a generous terrace and formal
garden. The reception would then take place in any one of four rooms set
aside for dining and celebrating, each with its own bar, and guests could,
of course, stay over in the hotel.McGregor had gone for one of the little B&Bs down the hill, as the
prices for a one-night stay at Cliff View had caused him to blanch. He had
to admit though, it was a lovely place. Warm rooms substituted for
summer sun and bride and attendants flitted like so many bright
butterflies among the equally gaudy guests. Mac, in his sober grey suit,
the lightest and brightest of his limited collection, felt distinctly drab.
‘I’m so glad you could come.’Alec grasped his hand, beaming like a loon, Mac thought, not that he
could blame him. Mac studied Alec’s radiant bride and felt a flush of deep
envy. ‘Naomi, you look wonderful,’ he said sincerely. ‘Truly lovely.’‘Thanks, Mac.’ She leaned in to kiss him and he was astonished as ever
at how delicately she managed to land the kiss on his cheek. On the odd
occasion he was called upon to deliver a kiss, he could be guaranteed to
fumble it, and he was able to see.
