When a $25,000 night deposit mysteriously disappears from the Clark County Savings and Loan, Annie Peterson, has reason to be concerned and to assume the role of amateur sleuth. Her husband's job at the bank makes him a potential suspect, but knowing him to be a godly man, she can't imagine it. Then again, there is that matter of the weddings to factor in. Twin daughters Brandi and Candy have just received proposals and two weddings are pending. Sure, Warren occasionally jokes about robbing the bank to pay for the ceremonies, but Annie knows him better than that. . .doesn't she?

It was good, interesting, but a little predictable in certain aspects, at least to me. I don't normally read mysteries though, and this one held my attention.

A very good book, just enough suspense you want to find out who did it but has the walk with God stressed. Wish she would write more.

This story is like a good Cobb Salad--chock-full of Godly counsel and flavorful laugh-out-loud quotes, tossed with sometimes-tearful poignancy and occasionally hysterical antics of people like you and me. Short chapters make it easy to read/digest when you want something on the lighter side that is still flavorful and sustaining.

I would recommend this book to anyone!!I am pleased at the way it describes everyday life from a mother's point of view and at the same time,she looks to God for answers to all the things she runs into with twins planning weddings,a night deposit disappearing from the place her husband works and numerous other things happening,some of them very humerous.

An enjoyable and entertaining read (a cozy mystery) on the front of the book would describe this novel perfectly! Couldn't put this one down, funny, down to earth and am looking forward to finishing the next one Gone with the Groom. I anticipate another 5 star as well.

Delightful story that every Mother-Of-the Bride can relate to as they prepare for their child's wedding (tho without the mystery I would hope)!

Janice A. Thompson has written a cozy mystery, The Wedding Caper, that presents readers with a slightly off-kilter amateur sleuth. Annie Peterson has stumbled onto clues that point to her husband as the thief in a recent robbery of the Clark County Savings and Loan. Her clues? Warren has motive and opportunity – their twin daughters are both getting married soon, and Warren and Annie need money, thus the motive, and Warren works at the bank, thus the opportunity.
Could the Christian man Annie has been married to for the past twenty-seven years be guilty of such a felony? Annie sets about trying to stack up the clues so they point to someone, anyone else. The facts seem to be destined to stack up their own way and point directly to her husband. But then the case becomes even more clouded. Other suspects find their way to Annie’s list.
Janice places us in the mind of Annie when she writes the story in first person. We hurt for Annie as she tries desperately to rule out her husband. We laugh at Annie when she tries to hone her sleuthing skills over the Internet. We root for Annie to win the day and solve the crime in such a way that she will prove, without a doubt, that her husband is innocent of the crime.
If you like a light mystery versus heavy, dark ones, you’ll enjoy The Wedding Caper by Janice Thompson.
