A Rip Roaring Good Time (A Ripple Effect Cozy Mystery, Book 1) by Jeanne Glidewell

Rip and Rapella are retirees who have sold their home and travel from place to place depending on time of the year, events happening, and what sounds good.  There's no itinerary except to go where they want, when they want and to make sure they attend weddings and the like in their family.  All's going well at the engagement party they are attending until one of the guests falls down dead.  He's not a nice guy so there are plenty of suspects.

Instafreebie and the author share a copy of this book with for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

Rip is a retired cop.  Rapella has done all sorts of jobs; she hates to be bored.  It will take both of them to help close this case.  After all, the mother of the proposed new bride is the number one suspect with the local cops and they know she didn't do it!

Rapella is a real character.  She applies for jobs so she can question the owners.  She even goes so far to take a pole dancing class to get close to a suspect.  You wouldn't see me doing that!

It's a challenging mystery and will hold your attention as well as make you laugh.  It's a good thing they have friends.  They will need them all to get out of this alive...
