  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.
