A huge thank you to Kelly Lacey at Love Books Tours and PJ Skinner for sending me a copy of the really enjoyable Toxic Vows to read and review for the blog tour!

Blurb:
A shotgun marriage leads to deadly celebrations in this gripping English seaside cozy mystery
D.I. George Carter’s wedding takes a sinister turn, when the bride is discovered lifeless, mere hours after their vows. Reluctant guest, Tanya Bowe, an investigative journalist turned local sleuth, who also happens to be George’s ex-wife, finds herself at the centre of a murder investigation.
The atmosphere is less than convivial as underlying tensions bubble to the surface. Suspicion falls squarely on George, and a rival detective is determined to pin the crime on him. Tanya delves into a world of hidden vendettas and deceit. The bride had enemies, but the hotel is also a den of blackmail and fraud.
Did the killer target the bride, or has an elaborate plan gone badly wrong?
In this enthralling English, small-town, cozy mystery, Tanya must rescue her ex-husband from murder charges, if she is to finally escape the past. If you crave seaside settings, intricate plots, and a dash of humour, grab your copy now and join Tanya on a journey to uncover the truth.
Can you solve the mystery before Tanya does?

My Thoughts:
This is the fourth instalment in the Seacastle Mysteries series from PJ Skinner, and what a thoroughly enjoyable cosy mystery book this is!
Tanya Bowe, having finally become free from her ex DI George Carter, is thrown into the mix of a murder investigation when George’s fiancé is found murdered at their wedding!
This is the first book in the series that I have read, and I didn’t find it difficult to catch up on the stories between the characters. I managed to finish it within one day, as I found it such an enthralling read, and I definitely couldn’t guess who the murderer was!
I will be looking into reading the rest of the series for sure after reading this little cracker of a book. Enjoyable, twisty, and fun, I loved it! Recommend wholeheartedly if a cosy thriller is for you!
