In the fourth shamelessly adorable Teddy Bear Mystery, teddy bear shop manager and amateur sleuth Sasha Silverman vows to find out who killed the best man in a Valentine's Day wedding when a heartless, ice-pick wielding killer ruins the big day...
Always a bridesmaid, never a killer...

At the Silver Bear Shop and Factory, Sasha will be selling plenty of bride and groom teddy bears come springtime. But this Valentine's Day weekend, she'd take any of those silent, stuffed couples over the real thing. Sasha and her sister Maddie are bridesmaids at Cissy Davison's upcoming wedding in Silver Hollow. Cissy is fuming over the worst choice of best man--the jerk who broke her sister Debbie's heart--and the groom-to-be won't budge in his decision. At the rehearsal dinner you could cut the tension with a wedding cake knife.

That is, until best man Dylan is found dead, impaled with an ice pick. Although jilted Debbie is the most likely suspect--the blood on her dress doesn't help her case--the bride begs Sasha to prove her sister's innocence. If anyone's going to walk down the aisle, Sasha will first need to find the cold-hearted killer who iced Dylan...

Wedding Bear Blues by Meg Macy is another beary-filled wonderment for this small village.

Can Sasha solve a murder so the wedding can continue?

Sasha Silverman

Sasha Silverman is our sleuth who’s back to solve another mystery. She is the manager of her family’s teddy bear factory right there in their small village. I still like the fact that Sasha is different from other sleuths in the way that she doesn’t seem to have a crush on the detective but also in the way that she handles her involvements in the cases.

Sasha is trying to do what the bride wants while running the factory and dealing with a lot of busy business during Valentine’s and for a while after that. Especially figuring out how to keep people coming to their store. I like that because she’s the only sleuth that I know of who works at a teddy bear factory where they actually make the bears there on site.

The Mystery

At the rehearsal dinner, the best man is murdered, and the bride’s parents task Sasha to keep their other daughter, the maid of honor, from going to jail. Sasha has a fun time trying to get people to actually talk about it when they don’t want to talk about it. The police aren’t having any luck either. Sasha ends up thinking that she knows who did it but was proven wrong. There are so many things happening in this village. Who knows what else will happen as Sasha tries to solve who would kill the best man.

Four Stars

Wedding Bear Blues by Meg Macy is a fun-filled mystery with a lot of teddy bear humor. I liked that Sasha got to be a teddy bear doctor who was super cute. Ms. Macy has done a great job of bringing these characters and this town in Michigan to life. She does it in such a fun way. Sasha is a hoot, and her sister actually helped a lot with solving this crime. I guessed who did it sort of right away, but I talked myself out of it. Mostly because I couldn’t think of the motive. I am giving this book five stars and recommending it to anyone that wants to read it.
