Although not about to say "I do" anytime soon, hip party-
planner Madeline Bean is no stranger to the phenomenon
known as the LA wedding; the good, the bad and the kind
where the party lasts longer than the marriage. Still,
Maddie never expected to be the guest of Vivian Duncan,
the West Coast's grande dame of wedding consultants, at a
lavish affair held amidst the dramatically lit fossils in
the Nature Museum's Hall of Dinosaurs. While checking out
the glittering event, Maddie, with her keen event
planner's instinct, realizes something is not quite right,
but what? The groom is on time. The bride is beautiful.
And a corpse wearing a Cartier bracelet is dangling from
the triceratops skeleton. Ah, yes. That.
With people disappearing and the bride in tears, Maddie
just may be the next species to become extinct...unless
she can reveal the murderer fast. Quicker than she can
whip up a white chocolate wedding cake, Maddie follows the
trail deep into dark jungles—-urban and otherwise—-amid
tantalizing tales of smuggled gems, while fending off a
nervous bridegroom, a crazed carjacker, and a half-naked
ice-sculptor and his trusty chainsaw. Along the way, she
discovers something old, something new, something deadly
and something a wedding pro should never, ever do.
