HITCHED By Carol Higgins -Clark

3-1/2 Stars

Looking for an exciting light-hearted mystery with an eccentric cast of characters, some of whom surprisingly turn out to be crooks? Look no further than HITCHED, the latest and most romantic Regan Reilly mystery.

Regan is finally getting married to her longtime beau, New York Police Department Captain Jack Reilly. Regan has a lot of things to prepare for the special day, the most important of them picking up her wedding dress. When she arrives at Alfred and Charisse's Couture in Lower Manhattan’s Little Italy, Regan finds the husband-and-wife designers bound and gagged on their bed. They have been robbed of several wedding gowns and twenty thousand dollars in cash that they won in Atlantic City. A piece of evidence left at the scene, a shredded gown with blood stains, is her only clue.

With only a week to go until her wedding Regan sets out to find her dress.

Meanwhile, Regan's fiance Jack is trying to solve a bank robbery case. The storyline concerning Jack isn’t all that interesting except for it leading to an unlikely coincidence with Regan's mystery of the missing gowns. While all of this is happening, the thieves are on their way to Las Vegas to sell the gowns. With a few other unnecessary, nonsensical subplots, Hitched moves at a fairly rapid pace.

Since this is filed under “mystery light,” you shouldn’t expect anything more than one-dimensional characters running around and a mystery that isn’t really all that deep. Overall, Hitched is good for someone looking for a light beach or vacation read.
