The inimitable Daisy Dalrymple Fletcher and her husband
Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher seem to get a
reprieve from their sleuthing duties when they are invited
to the wedding of their friend, Lucy Fotheringay.Lucy's
grandfather is hosting the ceremony at his beautiful
estate and so it promises to be a typical affair with
hordes of gossipy aunts and other colorful but not
necessarily pleasant relatives. Daisy meets all these
characters and observes the ensuing familial
fraternization with a certain kind of amusing nonchalance.
That is, until Lucy's great aunt is found strangled to
death in her bed. Lucy, in the meantime, has arranged to
meet her betrothed in the conservatory, but when she
arrives she finds him trying to revive her uncle, who has
died-or has he been murdered? And just like that a
normally celebratory occasion turns suspicious. Now Daisy
must sift through a throng of relatives-aunts, uncles,
cousins, grandparents- once wedding guests and now murder
suspects. And she must find the killer quickly before
another family member becomes a corpse.
