The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer by Cathy Ace is the second book in The WISE Enquiries Agency Mystery series. Henry Twyst, the Eighteenth Earl of Chellingworth is getting married to Stephanie Timbers. This is the first marriage of a sitting duke in over a hundred years. The village (and Henry's mother) want the couple to incorporate as many of the Welsh traditions into their wedding as possible. One of those traditions is the Anwen Morris Dancers. The Morris Dancers lead the bridal couple from the church to the hall for the reception (it is supposed to enhance fertility). But when Aubrey Morris (the musician) goes missing (along with the instruments), Althea (the Dowager) asks the ladies at The WISE Enquiries Agency to investigate. Will they be able to find Aubrey before the wedding? Annie, Christine, Carol, and Mavis have their work cut out for them on this case.

I was disappointed in The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer. It sounded like such an interesting book, but I was bored to tears. The book had a very slow pace that makes the reader want to fall asleep (or skip to the end). A lot of information is repeated a few times throughout the book (like the writer needed filler). The writer then added a stolen wedding gown and drama from Henry's sister, Clementine (it was just idiotic and a wee bit over the top). I am afraid that I did not enjoy The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer. I give The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer 2.75 out of 5 stars (it was okay or satisfactory). This book was just not my cup of tea (get it). I do not believe I will be reading any more books in The WISE Enquiries Agency Mystery series.

I received a complimentary copy of The Case of the Missing Morris Dancer from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
