The wedding was meant to unite two warring families. But when it ends in murder, Eve Mallow must solve the crime and save the day!

The Dennings and the Cadys have been at war for years – ever since Russell Cady and Marcus Denning fell out and the business they built together fell apart. But now Russell’s daughter and Marcus’s son are tying the knot… and hopefully bringing peace.

Except that someone’s sent Eve Mallow a warning along with her wedding invitation: watch out for trouble. But even she didn’t expect to find the father of the bride dead in his bed before he can walk his daughter down the aisle. So who’s ruined the big day? Is it Marcus, his former enemy? His two older children, who fought with him before he died? Or the woman Eve saw weeping, who swears they never met?

Eve is left with a bouquet of mismatched clues to piece together: the umbrellas left out on a sunny day, Russell’s missing camera, and his threat to change his will. And when a second mysterious death puts the icing on the cake, Eve makes her own vow – death will not part the happy couple. But can she track down the killer, or will the wedding bells ring for her funeral instead?

A perfectly puzzling murder mystery which will have you turning the pages till the surprising solution! Fans of Emylia Hall, Fiona Leitch and Agatha Christie will adore Clare Chase.
