Whiskey and Gunpowder: An Addison Holmes Mystery

In twenty-four hours, Addison Holmes will be a married woman. Maybe. A week to plan a wedding in the south is not for the fainthearted, but Addison (along with the help of her neurotic mother, unreliable sister, and unpredictable Aunt Scarlet) are determined to pull it off. There's just one problem. Okay…two problems.

Firstly, the preacher is missing. This seems like a bad omen to Addison, and all the best investigators she knows are taking part in the pre-wedding festivities (that's code for drunk). That leaves one man for the task: FBI Special Agent Matt Savage. However, Addison isn't sure he's the man for the job. She and Savage have a complicated history, and Savage could make the preacher disappear forever if it served his own agenda.

Secondly, Rosemarie Valentine is in charge of booking the bridal party for a spa day. Enough said. Something old, something new, something borrowed, something…bedazzled?

Addison's determination to pull off the wedding in a week's time is commendable, considering the challenges she faces. The presence of her neurotic mother, unreliable sister, and unpredictable Aunt Scarlet adds to the chaos, but they are all working together to make it happen.

The missing preacher is a significant problem, as it could jeopardize the entire wedding. Addison's reliance on FBI Special Agent Matt Savage, with whom she has a complicated history, adds an element of uncertainty to the situation. Savage's potential agenda could further complicate matters, and Addison must tread carefully to ensure the preacher's safe return.

Rosemarie Valentine's involvement in booking the bridal party's spa day is another source of concern. Her reputation for unpredictability and unreliability is well-known, and Addison must trust that she will handle this task competently.

Despite these challenges, Addison's resilience and the support of her loved ones shine through. The wedding, although surrounded by a sense of uncertainty, represents a significant milestone in her life. The concept of "something old, something new, something borrowed, something…bedazzled" adds a touch of whimsy and tradition to the occasion, adding to the anticipation and excitement.

In the end, Addison's journey to the altar, with all its twists and turns, is a testament to her determination, adaptability, and the power of love and community. The reader is left to wonder whether the wedding will ultimately come to fruition, and how Addison and her loved ones will navigate the obstacles that stand in their way.
