I will preface this my saying yes it can be read as a stand alone novel, because the author deftly reminds you who people are. But I do advise anyone to read the complete series for optimal enjoyment!This book is a wonderful example of an author that like wine only seems to improve with each book. In this installment we have Maggie and Digs trying to plan their wedding while dealing with what was supposed to be a "simple" case of embezzlement. That turns into a murderous thrill ride of attempted murder, amnesia, poisonings,assaults and identity theft. Yeah, not as quick and simple as they first thought! But when it comes to Maggie one should never expect anything to be quick and easy. I freely admit I was stunned when the killer was revealed. I never once suspected! Reading the book a second time I went "oh, that was a clue right there." The author does such a good job of drawing the reader in that you feel what they feel. I laughed so hard at parts til I cried, at other parts I simply cried. I could not believe what happened to one of my favorite characters, I was as outraged as Maggie,Digs and the rest of the family! We receive two epilogues, so that we get closure for both the mystery and the marriage. While I truly feel this book takes us full circle and closes everything beautifully, I do find myself hoping for another book in this series. Maggie and Digs have come to feel like old friends who don't visit nearly enough and I find myself waiting anxiously for them to return!Sorry, I'm trying not to give any spoilers but it was such a great book that it's hard to adequately describe the authors brilliance and care with this book and the heart strings it pulls without giving something away. This book contains no sexually explicit scenes. I received no free book or request for a review I just genuinely love this series!  Congratulations to author Julie Ramson for crafting an amazing book and allowing us to visit with this fabulous duo and their families once again.
