The Marriage Of Innis Wilkinson
Lauren H. Brandenburg
| -From Goodreads- It is said that something magical happens during the festival season in Coraloo, something unexplainable. People tend to be a little crazier, reckless. Maybe it's because it coincides the full moon, but Coraloo's constable, Roy Blackwell, is beginning to think it's something else. That said, Roy has other things on his mind, like marrying Margarette Toft. A controversial decision as the Toft and the Blackwell families have a hatred for one another that is older than the town itself. Tradition collides with superstition as the feuding families compete to organize the events surrounding the most talked about wedding in the history of Coraloo. Despite the array of minor catastrophes that ensue, and the timings clashing with a four-week long festival celebrating a legendary beaver, Roy and Margarette hold fast and declare they will do whatever it takes to wed. That is until Roy unearths a town secret - a murder involving a pair of scissors, an actor with a severe case of kleptomania, and the mysterious marriage of Innis Wilkinson. Can good come out of unearthing the past - or will only heartbreak follow? ISBN-13: 978-1782642992 Will a wedding tear the entire town apart? I was first attracted to The Marriage Of Innis Wilkinson by its quirky title and fun cover. And I'll tell you, now that I've finished reading, I like them even more. I enjoyed this book from start to finish. The distinct small-town flavor was amusing and it made me smile more than once or twice. |  This Book received a 4 Bark rating.

Lauren H. Brandenburg is a new-to-me author but I doubt she will remain a stranger. I liked the way she handled her characters. Their cleverly layered personalities of superstition, tradition, generosity, suspicion, and the prejudice between Blackwells v. Tofts may seem to be contradictory, but it's totally not.
The Marriage Of Innis Wilkinson was an enjoyable blend of comedy, romance, and mystery and one can't help but root for Roy and Margarette to beat the odds and make their way to the alter...without their sometimes ridiculous families killing each other. That is if the somewhat insane family wedding traditions don't get them first! Lauren H. Brandenburg did a good job weaving the threads of the past mystery with the present romance in a way that was both interesting and fun to read.
I liked the story, particularly trying to guess the secrets behind the titular Marriage Of Innis Wilkinson and the mysterious pair of scissors that she always carries with her. If you like your fiction with very quirky characters this book from Lauren H. Brandenburg just might be the perfect next read for you...
