Bookstore-café owner Krissy Hancock has plenty to keep her occupied
outside business hours, like preparing for her best friend's wedding and
solving a murder . . .
Krissy is meeting Vicki's parents at the Pine Hills, Ohio, airport--it's
the least she can do as maid of honor, even if her relationship with Mr.
and Mrs. Patterson is a bit strained. Besides, her own dad is coming in
on the same flight. But there are a few additional arrivals, too. Her
father's brought a date--and the Pattersons, both actors, seem to have
an entire entourage trailing behind them.
Uninvited guests are a headache--especially when one turns out to be,
allegedly at least, the most important wedding planner in all the world.
Though Vicki and Krissy have already made arrangements for a small,
simple party, Vicki's snobby drama queen mother has her own ideas. Cathy
the wedding planner is raring to go, possibly energized by the
chocolate-covered espresso beans she compulsively munches. But while the
caffeine keeps her awake, it doesn't keep her alive--and after Cathy
chokes on an espresso bean after being hit in the head, Krissy has to
find out who ended her supposedly stellar career . . .
