From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Cabot neatly blends crime, humor, and a touch of romance in her fifth Heather Wells whodunit (after 2012&'s Size 12 and Ready to Rock). While handling the demands of freshmen orientation at Manhattan&'s New York College, Heather also listens to parental complaints about room assignments at Fischer Hall, the student residence where she works as a supervisor. Recently popularized by the arrival of Crown Prince Rashid, Fischer Hall is also the site of the untimely death of a new resident adviser, Jasmine Albright. Heather works to fit together the pieces of the puzzle in Jasmine&'s demise even as she continues to plan for her upcoming wedding to her dreamy fiancé, Cooper Cartwright. Multidimensional characters, from the dorm handyman to the arrogant yet elusive prince, are a plus, but it&'s the simmering mystery behind the suspicious death that propels this installment to its surprising conclusion. Agent: Laura Langlie, Laura Langlie Agency. (Oct.)
From Booklist
Heather Wells is trying to juggle her wedding plans with registration week at the residence hall where she is assistant director. Jasmine, a new RA, dies, and Heather discovers she had been drinking with students and several other RAs at a party held by a prince, whose father bought his luxury suite of dorms, along with his student status. Tidbits of news are being leaked to the student news blog, and Heather talks to the editor, only to have him nearly killed soon after. The prince’s bodyguard begins harassing her, and her fiancé’s family contact Heather’s long-estranged mother with a wedding invite, producing high stress on multiple fronts. Heather rises above the craziness to take care of everyone and solve the crime in what is both an exciting mystery and a surprisingly funny caper. Cabot splices realistic details of dorm life with humorous descriptions of wedding planning, along with rapid-fire, smart commentary on everything from hovering parents to women’s skills at target shooting. Fans may also enjoy Laura Levine’s equally funny Jaine Austen series. --Amy Alessio

I grew up on Meg Cabot's books. The Princess Diaries, All-American Girl, Avalon High, The Mediator... these are the novels that shaped my love for the young adult genre, which was why I jumped on the chance to review the newest book in her most popular adult fiction series. The Heather Wells Mysteries have been around for quite a while, but in this most recent installment, the quirky, lovable heroine is back, and she's getting married—but that doesn't mean things will be calming down for her. In fact, it's just the opposite; when a student in her residence hall turns up dead even before classes start at New York College, she'll have to use her resources—and her wits—to get to the bottom of the fishy business going on in Fischer Hall—and save her wedding.
The Bride Wore Size 12 is true to Cabot's hilarious, pitch-perfect style. Impossible to put down and funny to the core, it's fabulously misleading and unpredictable until that one moment when the truth will click and everything rushes together. While it will have you at the edge of your seat and your heart pounding erratically throughout, I consider it a triumphant flourish of a feel-good novel—because just reading it will definitely make you a happier person.
Heather is a delightful narrator—both likable and genuine! I love how she's hard-working, clumsy (there's a little bit of each of us in her personality!), but still super sharp. What I admire so much is how, even though she never strays far from her beliefs and herself, she still has vulnerabilities and tenderness that make her so human.
I received this book for free through GoodReads Early Reviewers Program and was really looking forward to reading it. A chick lit mystery seemed like a great combination . "The Bride Wore A Size 12" is part of the Heather Mills Mystery series. It's the first book I've read by Meg Cabot and while I'm familiar with her Princess Diaries series, I've only seen short clips from the subsequent movies
I love mysteries. In fact, nowadays, I'd guess that probably two out of every three books I read are mysteries. British mysteries are my current favorites, but I also enjoy works by several American writers. I even read half a dozen cozies every year - especially in the summertime and around holidays.
A cozy mystery is how I would describe Cabot's new book. And while I really wanted to like this book, I simply didn't. It's not that it was terrible. I just had a hard time connecting with any of the characters and 1/2 way into it, I was still feeling pretty ho-hum about the whole thing. You know how sometimes you read a new book and quickly realize that it's only one in a series? With a really good book, you're so engaged that you immediately want to go out and buy the rest of the series to savor one by one. My most recent experience of this was with Reginald Hill's Dalziel & Pascoe series. I happened across "On Beulah Height" (#15 in the series) and enjoyed it so much that I immediately sought out earlier books in the series and now own almost all of them.
Unfortunately, that wasn't my experience with "The Bride Wore A Size 12." There were so many references to events from earlier books in the series that I found myself growing frustrated and confused, rather than curious.
