In this enchanting new read in the fan-favorite series from a USA
Today bestselling author, garda of County Cork, Ireland, Siobhán
O'Sullivan and Macdaras Flannery, are about to get married at last. But
just as the rowdy O'Sullivan brood and all the regulars of the local
bistro have gathered at the church, the nuptials come to an abrupt halt
when the discovery of an unidentified skeleton puts the wedding on
pause...
If only her mother could be here! The entire O'Sullivan brood--not to
mention the regulars from Naomi's Bistro--have gathered at St. Mary's
Church for the wedding of Siobhán and Macdara. It's not every day you
see two garda marrying each other. Only Siobhán's brother James is
missing. They can't start without him.
But when James finally comes racing in, he's covered in dirt and
babbling he's found a human skeleton in the old slurry pit at the
farmhouse. What farmhouse? Macdara sheepishly admits he was saving it as
a wedding surprise: he purchased an abandoned dairy farm. Duty calls, so
the engaged garda decide to put the wedding on hold to investigate.
James leads them to a skeleton clothed in rags that resemble a tattered
tuxedo. As an elderly neighbor approaches, she cries out that these must
be the remains of her one true love who never showed up on their wedding
day, fifty years ago. The garda have a cold case on their hands, which
heats up the following day when a fresh corpse appears on top of the
bridegroom's bones. With a killer at large, they need to watch their
backs--or the nearly wedded couple may be parted by death before they've
even taken their vows. . .
"Fans of charming Irish mysteries will delight in the ways this
convoluted case ensnares the heroine and her supporting cast."-- Kirkus
