Lezersrecensie
Warm winter read
Libby, Flynn and Guy are all very likeable characters. Libby who has a few weeks off before starting her job in New York immediately helps her brother when Jenny, the wedding planner he employed, quits immediately. Guy a photographer and filmmaker is also asked by Flynn to assist in the project, as he is temporarily not that comfortable in terms of accommodation he also accepts the job. In fact, a beautiful winter wedding is to be held at Starcross Manor, Flynn's hotel in Heartcross. Brides and grooms could apply for this and Jenny selected a wedding couple from these. When first talking to the bride and groom, Libby sees her brother's idea, a promotional film to put his hotel on the map as the wedding venue in the area, fall apart.
Libby doesn't leave it at that and sets out to investigate in the meantime. Helped by Guy who is residing with his daughter in the lodge next door to Libby. There is more to it than meets the eye. But the big question is and remains of course will there be any wedding on the day before Christmas that filmed by Guy could put Starcross Manor on the map as a top location. The tight-knit nature of the village comes across well in this book, although I find it somewhat implausible that it is always very busy and yet it is a very small village. Perhaps it is a small town rather than a village. In any case, I would definitely travel there if it really existed because it sounds like a nice and warm neighbourhood.
