    Everly Dupree expected cake and canapés. What she got was murder.
     
    
     
    Being Maid of Honor for her friend Patrea’s wedding means Everly has a full plate—dress fittings, menu tastings, and one very controlling mother-of-the-bride who’s determined to micromanage her way to the altar. But things take a deadly turn when Everly and Patrea show up to the caterer’s tasting party and find the chef face-down in a bowl of frosting.
     
    
     
    The cause of death? Poison.
     
    
     
    One murder might be coincidence, but when another one of the caterer's clients turns up dead the very next day, Patrea's wedding is hanging by a thread. Everyone’s hoping it’s a coincidence. Everly’s gut says otherwise—and she’s not the only one. Sheriff Ernie Polk needs proof to move forward, and while he’s not exactly asking Everly to investigate, he’s not telling her to stay out of it either.
     
    
     
    But he caterer’s ghost isn’t being helpful, the guest list is thinning, and Everly’s starting to think the big day might end with a body count instead of a bouquet toss. She’ll have to untangle this knot of secrets fast—before someone decides the Maid of Honor should be next.
     
    
     
    Because in Mooselick River, even a wedding can be a killer event.

    Editha was a queer little girl. She was rather old-fashioned, as her aunts used to call it, and was always very fond of books. Indeed, Editha perhaps read more than was quite good for her. She spent the greater part of her time in the library reading her papa's big books and newspapers. Her most recent obsession, derived from her daily news intake, was the subject of burglars. One night, when confronted with a real-life burglar, and with the conviction that she must protect her mother from the fright of such an intruder, Editha took it upon herself to confront the unusual nocturnal visitor.     Editha's Burglar was first published in 1888.
