Synopsis

In Hunter Murphy’s follow-up to Imogene in New Orleans, the indomitable senior sleuth and her outrageously endearing Alabama family find themselves in hot water while on a family vacation at a mermaid convention in sunny Florida. When Imogene and her brood, including Goose the bulldog, encounter a dead body floating in the fresh-water springs beneath their glass-bottom boat, the local police immediately arrest one of the Alabama visitors for the crime.Now the aging amateur crime solver must exonerate her own family, but unearthing a killer among the park’s past and present mermaids and employees promises to be no easy task, since so many of them are thrilled that the victim is sleeping with the fishes. And a decades-old curse that has deposited more than one dead body in the Bridal Chamber spring now seems focused on Imogene and her kin, who are wading into dangerous waters indeed. Witty and colorful, The Curse of the Bridal Chamber will keep you enthralled until the final surprising revelation.

Goodreads review by Judy on June 05, 2016

This is the second book I've read by Hunter Murphy. Imogene in New Orleans was a great fun read but I think The Curse of the Bridal Chamber is even better.

Goodreads review by debbicat *made of stardust* on March 23, 2017

Very enjoyable cozy mystery. I saw this book on NetGalley and requested it because of the cover and the fact that it was in FL at a mermaid convention. I didn't realize it was the second book in a series...but, it actually worked well as a stand alone. Fell in love with the characters, Imogene, Bill......more

Goodreads review by Larissa on July 16, 2016

I really wanted to like this book… and I did. I was drawn to the concept of a vacation in “real Florida” that turns upside down because of a murder.

Goodreads review by Jeremy on April 20, 2017

I began reading this book and didn’t realize that it was the second book in a series, but it turned out that didn’t matter! By the end of the first chapter the characters had been well established and I could sit back and enjoy it. The further the book got into the characters the funnier and more en......more

Goodreads review by Audrey on February 27, 2017

I just don't think that this one was for me. As a kid I was an avid watcher of Scooby Doo, and this story hit a lot of the same notes for me in that the good guys run around in circles picking up clues and getting tied up in broom closets while the bad guys creep around in the shadows and pop out of......more
