Synopsis

Welcome to the little town of Cottonwood, Kentucky, a charming town with fun business names like Tiny Tina’s Hair Salon and Cowboy’s Catfish. Sheriff Lowry becomes public-enemy number one when she shuts down a wedding reception after one of the catering waiters is found impaled by a wedding umbrella. The bride is not happy and proceeds to beat Sheriff Lowry with her bridal bouquet! How lucky that Kenni is already there to start her investigation—she’s got a bratty bride, a crass groomsman, and a dead waiter... If the murder at the wedding wasn't enough, she’s got to solve this so that her friend's business isn’t ruined!

Blowin’ Up A Murder (Kenni Lowry #8) by Tonya Kappes is so good!! I love visiting Cottonwood, Kentucky with Sheriff Kenni Lowry, Duke, and the whole gang. This time we are at a wedding when we have the murder and Kenni has to deal with the Bride and family plus the town folk that complain she ruined their chance at big reviews through a magazine spread. But nevertheless Kenni and Popa are on the job and will bring the murderer to justice.
I’m so glad Author Tonya Kappes got her rights back to this series so it can continue as I believe it’s one of my most favorite quirky cozy mysteries.

Great cozy mystery and love the characters. The mystery is fun and has many twists and turns. I received a copy of this book from the author for a fair and honest opinion that I gave of my own free will.

It's not really a wedding until there is a murder! Kenni Lowry cannot simply attend as a guest because something mysterious will happen. In this case, Kenni spots a body Blowin' Up A Murder is the next book in the Kenni Lowry series and it is a delight. While waiting for the best man to show and give his speech, a bolt of lightning flashes and Kenni spots the body of a waiter out on the porch with an umbrella stuck in his chest. What bride wants a dead body found during her reception especially when the umbrella is a gift that was given to the wedding party? Now Kenni has to deal with a murder and a bridezilla who is about to lose it because her reception was ruined. And if that were not enough for Kenni, she also has to wrangle her Poppa and his dog’s ghosts who help with crime-solving, her mama, who constantly wants to know when Kenni will be walking down the aisle, and also her mama and her friend snooping.

All of this action makes for a wonderful read that is thrilling, funny, and filled with suspense. Follow along with Kenni and she works to solve the murder and fend off her mama’s wedding questions. I couldn’t put it down and cannot wait for the cliffhanger to be resolved in the next installment.

I loved this book! On top of that, I love this series and THIS is the series that got me hooked on Tonya Kappes. This book (as with the others) is a clean cozy full of fun, snark, and characters that just make you want to love them (and hate them too). This mystery just plain hooks you from the beginning and keeps your interest because it's so well told and flows nicely. Twists and turns keep you guessing and you think you know who did it, but that turns out not to be the case.

Never a spoiler in my reviews, aside from this quirky cast of characters that you really shouldn't ...

Never a spoiler in my reviews, aside from this quirky cast of characters that you really shouldn't overlook, this is a book that you just want to read. It does just fine as a standalone due to superb character development, but if you haven't read any of the books before this, you'll want to go back and read the others in this series and investigate some of the other super fun cozies by Ms. Kappes.

Kenni is attending a wedding that Cottonwood Who’s Who are in attendance.
While trying to enjoy the reception and avoid her mother making plans for Kenni and Finn’s wedding when they are not even engaged, Kenni notices the absence of the best man when it’s time for his speech. A storm blows in and the lights go out, so when the lightning lights up the sky Kenni’s eyes are drawn to the dead body just outside. Kenni has to find the murder before the wedding party leaves town.

It’s been a few years since the last Kenni Lowery book, so I was so excited to visit Cottonwood again. I wasn’t disappointed. Kenni is still a great Sheriff, her mom is still a strong Southern Momma, and her Grandpa’s ghost is still around to help Kenni solve murders. The mystery is full of surprises, I was completely surprised by who the murderer was and why. I recommend the book to anyone that loves southern mysteries.

All thoughts and opinions are my own, and in no way have I been influenced by anyone.
