India Hayes is a lot of things...starving artist who pays
the rent as a college librarian, daughter of liberal
activists, sister of an emotional mathematician, tenant of a
landlady who has kissed the Blarney Stone one too many
times, and a bridesmaid six times over. But she's about to
step into the most challenging role of her life: amateur
sleuth.
Childhood friend and now knockout beauty, Olivia Blocken is
back in town to wed her bodybuilder fiance with India a
reluctant attendant...not just because the bridesmaid's
dress is a hideous mess, but because she's betraying her
brother. Mark still caries a torch of the bride who once
broke his heart and sent his life into a tailspin.
When Olivia turns up dead in the Martin College fountain and
the evidence points to Mark, India must unmask the real
culprit while juggling a furious and grieving Mother of the
Bride, an annoyingly beautiful Maid of Honor, a set of
hippie-generation parents, the police detective who once
dated her sister and is showing a marked liking for her, and
a provost itching to fire someone, anyone--maybe even a
smart-mouth librarian.
India's investigation leads her on a journey through
childhood memories that she'd much rather have left in the
schoolyard, but to avoid becoming the next victim, it is a
path she must follow.
