Midnight Champagne Mysteries Horror A Manette Ansay 9780380729753 Books

As she weaves the reader like ribbon through the thoughts and actions of guests at a wedding (as well as the young couple), one is likely to find themselves remembering every wedding they've ever attended, every relative and friend, every uncomfortable gown, every mistake that seems horrible (only to become a great story for later cocktail parties), and all the hopes and dreams of young marrieds everywhere. Even as she builds suspense with one intersecting drama, she winds us through a laugh-out-loud bit of storytelling that ends up plowing straight into the suspense in a moment of unexpected grace and leaving us feeling as if we have been given a department store gift with its opulent paper and silky bow. This is the American Heartland's *As You Like It*, as skillfully delivered as Jane Smiley's *One Thousand Acres*. As much as I have enjoyed other works by Ansay, this is my favorite.

Midnight Champagne Mysteries Horror A Manette Ansay 9780380729753 Books Reviews

I read this book in a matter of a day. It was a quick read but had such depth. The view of a wedding and marriage is so different for each character. The relationships are magnified by the events of the day. I truly enjoyed this book.
I had higher expectations for this book. It was a quick read which was a plus, I just wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It was like I was expecting midnight champagne and got beer served to me instead.
Great twists and turns...but about half way through the plot became a little predictable. Rich characters, and amazing details. Good, suspenseful read. It goes to show you never know someone by their appearances and everyone has secrets.
This isn't your typical love and marriage story. It's full of characters with real-life frailties who remain embedded in your memory long after you've finished the book. A compelling and very satisfying read.
Love all of her books! Here writing is magnetic!
It was an easy read. I had to put it down and the story was good to come back to. By the end of the book, I did want more. The weather played a great character and contributed to my interest.
This book was the second of Ansay's which I have read. I very much enjoyed the book, a trip through April and Caleb's wedding in the midst of a terrible blizzard.
The wedding itself is nearly an afterthought as Ansay delves into each character's lives and thoughts, including the children in attendance, the people who work at the hotel where the wedding takes place, the families of the bride and groom, and other guests who are staying in the hotel.
The story is rich with detail and looks at the issues of marriage, what it means to the many guests (invited and uninvited), what love means to teenagers, newly weds, not-so-newly weds, divorcees, and people who aren't in love, rejected. The concept of family swirls through the book, and an interesting subplot leads to even more interest and suspense.
I hope readers out there will enjoy this as much as I did!
