Scotzilla by Catriona McPherson
4.0
Lexy was the last person I thought would morph into a Bridezilla! But when Taylor popped the question they had their ideal wedding planned out - small, intimate and a blend of them. Now it's coordinated everything, Lexy is having a meltdown over fairy lights and to top it off - the wedding planner has just been found dead!
Then we go back in time and see how Lexy, Taylor and co from the Last Ditch ended up in this mess! We see the fervour take hold of Lexy and poor Taylor has to walk on eggshells around her. The mystery at the graveyard intertwines with the wedding story and we see how Sister Sunshine gets involved with Lexy's big day.
I must admit I love all the snarking, b*tchy humour between the Last Ditch Crew. They all have flaws and foibles and they just live loud and proud with their weirdness. When Lexy snaps out of her "coma" you can feel the sense of relief from the gang. There were plenty of twists and turns and Sgt Molly is at her snarky best.
It's true that no-one can write a Scot quite as well as another Scot and that shines through in this book. All the wee Scottishisms and idioms sprinkled through gave me a smile. I know more than a few folk who fill their suitcases with foodstuffs to take on holiday - they're going to mainland Europe, not the moon and Lexy's parents are just as quirky.
I loved the wee reveal at the end - I had a bit of a sniffle I'll admit and I just can't wait to see what happens with my favourite expat next!
