Normally dilettante chef and freelance food writer Angie
Amalfi would rather be deep-fried than let her control-
freak mother plan the party celebrating Angie's engagement
to San Francisco homicide detective Paavo Smith. But
there's already too much on the bride-to-be's plate ...
and much of it is murderous.
What with her unhealthy interest in friendly neighbor
Stan's dangerous infatuation with a mysterious, very
pregnant kitchen helper at a nearby Greek eatery—and in
the related sudden death by very unnatural causes of a
celebrated do-gooder—incurable snoop Angie may be biting
off a lot more souvlaki than she can safely swallow. Stir
in a vengeful stalker, some strange happenings on a
fishing boat, and a second heaping helping of homicide,
and it looks like poor Paavo may end up celebrating solo,
due to the untimely d.o.a. of his hapless fiancée!
