More Description From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets--the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living... while other people are making a killing.
After all she's endured with her own marriage, divorce, and subsequent flight from alimony, Helen Hawthorne getting a job at Millicent's Bridal Salon is ironic in the extreme. But the pay is in cash and that's what matters for Helen to stay incognito.
But there's no amount of cash worth having to deal with the abominable Kiki--a wealthy witch who's lording it over her daughter's wedding plans with the aim of making the day all about Kiki, not the bride. She also thinks her money makes her invulnerable...but she's proven wrong when she's found smothered to death with her daughter's wedding dress. And worse, the cops seem to think Helen is responsible.
Now, Helen has to keep her identity secret and prove her innocence before the bride and groom read their wedding vows--and the police read Helen her rights...
