Books like Vows, vendettas & a little black dress by Kyra Davis

When Maryanne’s engagement ceremony begins, amateur detective Sophie Katz is thrilled, eager for the wedding vows and the promise of a Disney‑themed celebration with toymaker Monty Sanchez. The joyous atmosphere shatters when Dena, Maryanne’s best friend and bridesmaid, is found shot immediately after the announcement. With the bride’s safety in doubt, Sophie must unravel a twisted web of motives, questioning whether Maryanne was the intended victim or if the real threat lies elsewhere—perhaps even pointing a firearm at her own life. Sophie’s investigation pulls her through a chain of secrets, from hidden grievances to unexpected alliances, forcing her to confront her own past while piecing together the motives behind Dena’s murder and protecting the couple’s dreams. In a tense blend of mystery and personal drama, Sophie must determine the killer before the wedding’s white‑dress dreams turn into a reality of intrigue and danger.
