This is a good one! Even though I got a hunch of whodunnit, there were just so many truly likely candidates that it was still a race to finish. I really like that the series has a lot more than mystery to it - family, friends, work, all those issues that everyone deals with. And, of course, I would love to own that Montblanc pen of Mark's... :)

Mueder and a wedding - what more could you want! The Mark Manning Mysteries get better with each book. The two gay lead roles are wonderful role models for the rest of us!

Betty Gifford Ashton lives in Dumont, Wisconsin and is one of the town¿s most beloved citizens¿s who regularly gives vast sums of money to any philanthropic endeavor. She is invited to and attends the wedding of Roxanne Exner and Carl Creighton, the candidate for Illinois Lieutenant Governor. Mark Manning, owner of the Dumont Daily Register along with his life partner Neil Waite, sponsor the event. Both Neil and Mark are close friends of the bride and want her to have a wedding she¿ll remember for the rest of the life. The wedding planners succeed in their goal though not quite the way they expected. Betty is murdered at the reception and Roxanne comes under suspicion because she has the motive, means and opportunity to commit the crime. To make matters worse, the Democratic candidate for governor plans to drop Carl from the ticket if Roxanne isn¿t exonerated by the time the debates begin. Mark is determined that Carl and Roxanne will emerge from the experience unscathed so he goes into sleuth mode to find the killer. Michael Craft¿s ¿Mark Manning mysteries¿ get better with each book written. The protagonist has a strong social conscience which serves to make him a great reporter, one the audience can believe in. The relationship with Manning and his partner is a beautiful thing to behold and is a beacon of light in a dark and murky sea of human corruption. HOT SPOT is a one sitting read, impossible to put down until the last page is turned. Harriet Klausner
