One Hex of a Wedding
Chintz’n China Mysteries, No. 5
by Yasmine Galenorn
Emerald O’Brien, the main character of Yasmine Galenorn’s Chintz’n China Mystery series, is planning her wedding in
the fifth book in the series, One Hex of a Wedding. All of her best laid plans are coming undone by a cursed
object, her ex husband, a mean stalker, a wedding dress in pieces, and feuding relatives. Usually, O’Brien deals with
the paranormal, often something decidedly dangerous and requiring some heavy-duty spiritual resources to find out
what it is or how to deal with it. This go-around, she’s dealing with some very nasty earthly plane realities. She
and her family and friends cope with one crisis after another. O’Brien does enlist the spiritual help of a couple of
local women, including her best friend Murray’s aunt, White Deer. But it is straight-forward detective work that
O’Brien and Murray use to get to the heart of this complicated mystery.
Fans of Galenorn’s paranormal mysteries will still get their other-worldly fix in this latest mystery, as well as
a reunion with some of Galenorn’s best characters. Readers see the tea shop prospering and O’Brien’s family growing
up. Like many series mysteries, fans become attached to the characters and it’s really more about visiting with them.
The adventure and mystery is just gravy for these readers. I, too, have become a fan and look forward to every
Chintz’n China Mystery Galenorn writes. One Hex of a Wedding definitely did not disappoint. |
