I really enjoy all of Carol Higgins Clarks novels and especially the Regan Reilly series. If you want very serious stories, these are not for you. The Regard Reilly mysteries are FUN!! Great "whodunits" with plenty of comic relief and some light romance.

Regan Reilly is back at her parent's home in New Jersey and it is exactly 1 week until she gets married. She is going to move into her fiance Jack's loft in New York as he is head of the Major Case Squad for NYPD. Regan's best friend Kit is her maid of honor and is with her to help finalize the wedding plans and wrap up details that Regan's mom Nora had worked on with Regan living in LA. Regan, Nora and Kit head into the city to the exclusive bridal designers Alfred & Charisse to pick up Regan's gown. When they arrive at the apartment building that the designers work from, they quickly discover a mess with a shredded bridal gown covered with drops of blood and no other gowns hangin on the rack. Regan heads into the back to Alfred and Charisse's quarters to find them tied up and gagged in their bedroom with their safe standing broken and empty!! Besides money ($20,000) and jewelry, the thieves have stolen 4 bridal gowns and shredded one so now 5 brides including Regan have no gowns!! Alfred quickly hires Regan to work on the case and Regan also calls Jack to report it to the police as well as 911. Jack is busy with his unit trying to solve a rash of rainy day bank robberies as well as helping Regan where he can.

How Regan meets the other 4 brides and what they and their fiances are like as well as their reactions to the missing gowns is intriguing and hilarious!! The reader also gets to know WHO did the robbery and has the gowns and that pair of thieves ineptness is amazing!! A fun read with the usual Carol Higgins Clark happy endings!!
