Toni Matthews has finally found the man of her dreams, and in three days, they're tying the knot. She's one of the most successful real estate agents in Nashville, and her fiancee Scott Chadwick, an architect, owns a successful company. As the wedding countdown begins, she realizes she needs to head to his construction site as she left her briefcase in his car, which she needs for a house closing. But as she arrives, she finds that Scott has died, and the rampant speculation is that he committed suicide by jumping off the top of the hotel.

On the day that should have been her wedding, Toni finds herself burying Scott. While her friends have accepted the medical examiner's findings that the death was a suicide, Toni cannot believe that Scott would kill himself only days before they were to get married, especially when she finds out only days later that his estranged brother Brian is contesting Scott's will. Since Scott named his wife as his heir, Brian is trying to claim the entirety of the inheritance, which is quite sizable and includes her current home.

The police don't listen to her when she goes there to insist they re-open the case, and her friends believe she's in denial. After all, who would want to believe that their fiancee would rather kill himself than spend the rest of his life with her? And as she digs further into the details of his life, she discovers one startling revelation after another. How well did she actually know the man she was about to marry? And who is it that seems so determined to keep her from finding the truth? Will she pay with her own life for trying to find out how Scott's ended?

This compelling book moved at a great pace. Once Toni's investigation started, I found the book difficult to put down. Toni was a dogged, determined, intelligent amateur investigator with little more than her wits, intuition, and belief in her relationship with Scott to go on. There were several twists in this book that took me by surprise, each time just as I thought I had everything figured out. Toni was a well-written character, and readers will have no choice but to root for her.
