Jin Bakery has been asked to cater the Lum-Wu outdoor wedding at Pixie Park. The day of the ceremony, Felicity is finishing the egg tarts as the wedding party arrives for the ceremony. When one of the groomsmen, Miles Wu, doesn’t arrive, Felicity’s best friend and florist Kelvin generously steps in for him, and the wedding goes smoothly, until cake cutting time. That’s when Felicity finds Miles’ dead body beneath the table with her egg tarts display, stabbed by Kelvin’s gardening shears. Felicity starts sleuthing away to prove his innocence, revealing dark secrets about all the wedding's attendants. To make matters worse, Felicity’s powers of prediction are on the fritz thanks to the emotional turmoil of a surprise visit from her estranged father. Can Felicity get it together to find the true killer?
This paranormal cozy mystery was a really interesting read. I'm not usually into paranormal cozies because the sleuth relies on her "gift" rather than common sense or a good investigation. But this sleuth actually had good investigative skills and used her observations to figure out who done it in the end. Felicity is a likable character and was the main reason why I continued to read until the end of the story. Another reason was because of the plot. I, myself, could not figure out the identity of the culprit. Thanks to St Martin's Press and NetGalley for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.
