Welcome to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s
Favorites. In the
Wednesday’s Favorites post I will talk about a book I loved and that I
think
deserves a little more attention. I read popular books, but also many
books
that aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all
sorts of
genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites is ‘Delayed
Death’ by Beate Boeker, a
book I read in April 2015.
The Book:
an hour before your cousin’s wedding? You hide him in his bed and tell everyone
he didn’t feel like coming.

grandfather was poisoned, and she becomes the attractive Inspector’s prime

romance reader but are wanting to read something a bit different this would
definitely be a great choice. I’m looking forward to seeing where this
series goes and seeing more of Carlina, her beautiful store and her wacky
family.

once you have started reading the book, you start to understand the cover photo
better.

lingerie store. Her family his hilarious. This was well written and
was an easy read.

for you.
