When Avery Baker's friend, bed and breakfast owner Kate
McGillicutty finally agrees to say "I Do" with her beau,
Waterfield police chief Wayne Rasmussen, Avery and her
boyfriend and partner Derek Ellis decide to renovate the
carriage house behind the B&B as a wedding present for
their friends.
It's a big project but things are moving along nicely --
that is until Avery discovers the lifeless body of Kate's
former husband among the renovation mess and all work and
wedding plans grind to a halt. Despite being the police
chief's girlfriend, Kate is a prime suspect in the
mysterious death, and Avery is determined to help clear her
friend's name.
And if trying to solve a mystery wasn't stressful enough,
Avery's mom decides to pop in for a visit to "meet" i.e.
examine Derek. But Avery tries to stay focused, and as the
clues begin to come together, the folks of the small Maine
town are bound to be in for a shock as to who the killer
really is.
