New York Times bestselling author J.A. Jance brings her trademark breakneck pace to this fun and exciting novella, where fan favorite Ali Reynolds takes on double responsibilities as both sleuth and bride.

Ali Reynolds is finally getting married to her longtime love B. Simpson. They wanted a simple Christmas Eve wedding, but nothing is ever simple with Ali. Even as a motley crew of her friends—Leland Brooks, Sister Anselm, and others—descend on Vegas, the bride-to-be finds herself juggling last-minute wedding plans and a mystery in the form of a stray miniature dachshund. Ali’s grandson rescues the little dog, but Ali’s not in the market for a new pet right before her honeymoon, and leaves no stone unturned in hunting for the dog’s owner. But what she finds is more than just a shaggy dog story…Bella’s elderly owner has vanished, and her son seems to be behind it. So it’s Ali and B. to the rescue—and still making it to the church on time!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

J.A. Jance is the New York Times best selling author of 46 contemporary mysteries in four different series.

A voracious reader, J. A. Jance knew she wanted to be a writer from the moment she read her first Wizard of Oz book in second grade. Always drawn to mysteries, from Nancy Drew right through John D. McDonald's Travis Magee series, it was only natural that when she tried her hand at writing her first book, it would be a mystery as well.

J. A. Jance went on to become the New York Times bestselling author of the J. P. Beaumont series, the Joanna Brady series, three interrelated thrillers featuring the Walker family, and Edge of Evil. Born in South Dakota and brought up in Bisbee, Arizona, Jance lives with her husband in Seattle, Washington, and Tucson, Arizona.

Jance is an avid crusader for many causes, including the American Cancer Society, Gilda's Club, the Humane Society, the YMCA, and the Girl Scouts. A lover of animals, she has a rescued Dachshund named Bella.

Another great book in the Ali Reynolds series!!!
J.A Jance has become one of my favorite, preferred authors. The Ali Reynolds series is quickly becoming my favorite series of the four she has written: J.P. Beaumont (Seattle, WA Policeman Detective) was her first series, Joanne Brady (Cochise Country, AZ Sheriff; my favorite and my introduction to the southwest when I moved to Cochise County, AZ 3 years ago), and the Walker Family (Pima County (Tucson), AZ Sheriff) is her fourth series are all excellent. Having said that, it would be very difficult for me to decide which of the four series is my favorite. I supposed the favorite would have to be whichever series Jances' latest book is from. Can't wait to read more!My only other favorite, preferred authors is Kathy Reichs, author of the "Temperance Brennan" or "Bones" series, which I would assume most TV watchers and medical/forensic mystery readers know of. She writes several series as well: Virals (teenage mysteries)' Eposure, Code and Seizure.As both a retired U.S. Army NCO and forensic psychologist, I find these series extremely engrossing and highly enjoyable. I would recommend them to anyone who has an interest in mystery stories. The Reich series for medical/forensic/police mysteries and J.A. Jance for non-standard Sheriff/police mysteries. They are truly worth your time and energy. And, on Kindle especially, the price is inconsequential.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but interesting
Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book is a short fictional piece that is based around a dog that was dropped off in traffic and rescued by a family. In the midst of a Christmas wedding with family and friends around, the wedding couple manages to find the dog's owner who is unable to keep the dog. The wedding couple adopts Bella. The writing is fast paced and as a first-time reader of this author, I had a little problem understanding some of the characters that were mentioned (from previous books.) It didn't take me long to catch on to what was happening. The story moved along, the characters were interesting, the plot was short but kept my interest to see if there would be a happy ending. I will read more from this writer. Glancing through her available books I think I will have many that will keep my interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cute mystery

The Last Goodbye is an Ali Reynolds novel by J. A. Jance. The book is cute and good. It puts Ali in a different kind of situation than she normally is in.
Ali has finally decided to marry B. Simpson. They decided on a Christmas Eve wedding in Las Vegas. Ali went online and made all the plans and bookings. It would have taken her Mother a lot longer to plan a wedding; but she had planned two previous ones for Ali and now Ali wanted to plan her own. Maybe it would work out better. Mom, however, made her own dress, Colleen’s flower girl dress, Colin’s ring bearer suit, and cummerbunds for all the men in the wedding.
The logistics of getting everyone to Las Vegas and in accommodations preferable to them was a headache; but finally everyone was there and ready to go. B in his role as a new grandfather, took Colleen and Colin out for last minute Christmas presents. Once the twins were reassured that Santa would find them in Ali’s suite with its fireplace, they were excited to go. On their way back into the hotel, they rescued a puppy. A man opened the door of his car and threw the puppy out. Colin raced out to rescue it before it was run over.
The puppy was really an older dog. She was a reddish-brown, long-haired miniature dachshund who had obviously been doted upon. She preferred being hand fed and sleeping on the bed. They hired a dog sitter to stay with the dog in Ali’s room while they went about the business of getting married. However, they also began searching for the dog’s owner. She did have a chip which revealed only that her name was Daisy and her owner was no longer at the phone number they had. Could they find the dog’s owner or would they have to put her in an Animal shelter? Could they get this done before they left on their honeymoon and before everyone else left for home?
It is just a quick and cute mystery unlike others Ali has to solve. I really liked it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just an okay kind of four-paws, waggly tail kind of story
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2014

A Last Goodbye was just a hohumdedumdum kind of read. I have come to like Ali Reynolds because of her nosy personality and demeanor that always gets her in some kind of sticky, maybe even sinister, situation. That was not the case in this story. It was just a filler that added nothing to the on-going series. It did; however, leave this reader wondering if Bella, the dachshund, will play some kind of role in the future Ali Reynolds stories or if she was just a side bar while the author is trying to decide what kind of pickle Ali will get herself in for the next story in the long series.

The search for the owners of a lost dog takes place just the day before the Christmas time Las Vegas wedding of Ali and B. Not many brides would tolerate the intrusion of an abandoned, miniature, lovable dachshund named Bella. Ali isn't exactly ecstatic over the situation. It is; however, her third wedding, and she does NOT want to be adopted by this small canine. The story is a bit juvenile with not too much suspense, nor are there clever twists and turns. The first 7% entails the rehash of the previous Ali Reynolds novel. The short story is followed by a chronological somewhat lengthy history of the canine family members in the author's life. What's in-between? Not much mystery to charge up the old adrenalin battery, but it is a decent pass-the-time read for dog-lovers or waiting room boredom. The mystery of Bella's future, the wedding and the ending are brief. I kept hoping somewhere along the way there would be just a smidge of surprise with some page turning suspense that would cause some upheaval to the wedding. That did not happen. The story is acceptable reading material for the sophisticated worldly older teenager and upward. The ending is not a bona fide surprise, but it is acceptable.

This is an okay kind of four-paws, waggly tail kind of story. What more needs to be said?

This was an uplifting story of a "lost" dog and the kind people who reluctantly found themselves on the eve of their wedding searching to reunite this dog with the owner. In a world where there is so much negative news, it was wonderful to read this "Christmas" story - an early present that brings sunshine to your heart.
