fourth Mercy Carr mystery, finds Mercy and Elvis at a deadly Vermont
wedding.

Love never dies a natural death...
When Mercy's grandmother Patience marries her longtime beau Claude
Renault at the five-star Lady's Slipper Inn, it promises to be the
destination wedding of the year. Just as the four-day extravaganza is
due to begin, the inn's spa director Bodhi St. George disappears--and
Mercy's mother Grace sends Mercy and Elvis to find him. But what they
discover instead is a stranger skewered by a pitchfork in the barn on
the goat farm where St. George lived.
As Mercy tries to figure out who the victim is and where St. George is
hiding, the bride and groom's estranged relations gather for the first
of the pre-wedding festivities. Long-buried rivalries and resentments
surface--and Mercy realizes that they're all keeping secrets that could
tear both families apart. When Elvis interrupts the escalating melodrama
to alert Mercy to an intruder on the estate, she finds a wounded St.
George in the cottage where she and Troy are staying. St. George is not
who he says he is--but when he escapes from the hospital and disappears
again, Mercy thinks he's gone for good. With the wedding imminent and
the families at each other's throats, she decides finding St. George
will have to wait.
The big day arrives--but the danger is far from over. With the families
and the festivities still under threat, it's up to Mercy and Elvis
together with Troy and Susie Bear to stop the killer and save the bride
and groom--before death do they part.
