Private investigator Jodie Crooke should be focusing on lesson plans and wedding favours, not murder.
Back at the university and deep in preparations for her mother's wedding, Jodie is already juggling academic duties and an influx of opinionated relatives. Long-buried family tensions resurface as guests arrive from near and far, turning what should be a joyful celebration into an emotional minefield.
Then disaster strikes. During the wedding rehearsal, a family member is found dead, and the festivities come to a screeching halt. Was it a terrible accident, or did someone decide that this wedding should never happen? With jealousy, resentment, and old grudges simmering beneath the surface, nearly everyone has a motive.
Determined to uncover the truth, Jodie dives into the investigation, enlisting the help of her sharp-tongued, incarcerated mystery-writer ally. As clues twist and tempers flare, Jodie must balance family loyalties, her partner Josh, professional obligations, and a case that refuses to behave.
With time running short and the wedding day fast approaching, Jodie teams up with the police to untangle a mystery full of surprises... before another secret threatens to ruin more than just the ceremony.
