Clover Ridge librarian Carrie Singleton is thrilled to attend her best friend Angela's wedding, but Angela's family can be a bit...much. Cousin Donna hosts the bridal shower at her resplendent home, but Donna's surgeon husband, Aiden, spends a bit too much time with cousin Roxy. Later at the wedding reception, the sweet occasion turns darkly bitter when Aiden topples into the chocolate fountain--dead.
The suspect list is as long as the guest list, and as difficult to sort out as the seating chart. A few of the top contenders are Roxy, emotionally unstable since her recent divorce; Angela's brother, who feels Aiden betrayed him; and Roxy's ex-husband, Miles. Even Donna may have had reason to want her husband dead. Worse, Carrie reluctantly adds the bride and groom to the list.
At Aiden's wake, Carrie discovers that he died from a slow-acting poison. She learns quite a bit more from Vera, Aiden's gossipy office manager. Then, things take an even darker turn when Roxy follows Aiden into the hereafter.
Carrie is determined to help Angela and her husband start their life together outside prison walls. But outside the library's walls, can library ghost Evelyn and library cat Smoky Joe help her? Because with the killer still at large, her life may depend on them.
A great story with two murders and a mystery! Starting with the mystery, Evelyn, the library ghost, hopes that Carrie will be able to track down her missing brother, which starts with discovering that his daughter is back in town and going through the mill, her husband left and took ALL the cash, emptied the bank accounts and even maxed out the credit cards!! Luckily the people of Clover Ridge are able to help there.
The murders however are a different story, the first is a well loved surgeon who keels over at a wedding (the wedding is Carrie's friend and colleague), it turns out he was poisoned which puts rather a damper on the celebrations! The second was the first victim's cousin-in-law which seems to bring it back to the family, now Carrie, with the help of her boyfriend, her cat and Evelyn, is trying to figure out what happened so that Angie's married live can go smoothly!
