Mixing Mystery and Romance in a Fizzy 1930s Cocktail!
A dazzling wedding. A grand estate. A murder no one saw coming.
Henrietta and Clive Howard are finally tying the knot—but family tensions and clashing expectations threaten to upend their plans. As the long-awaited day arrives, love is in the air—but so are complications. Elsie’s budding romance with Stanley is tested by the arrival of the dashing Lieutenant Harrison Barnes-Smith and Henrietta’s vivacious friend Rose—a situation that grows increasingly dark and confused as time goes on.
Clive and Henrietta begin their honeymoon at Castle Linley, Clive’s ancestral home in England, where Henrietta must adjust to a host of new relations—including the brooding Wallace Howard, heir to the estate. When a local man is found murdered in the nearby village, Wallace falls under suspicion, and Clive is reluctantly drawn into the investigation.
Together, Clive and Henrietta must navigate crumbling traditions, family secrets, and disturbing news from home—all while trying to prove Wallace’s innocence. But as they dig deeper into the case, they uncover truths that could shake the Linley legacy to its core.
Can Clive and Henrietta find the real killer and clear Wallace’s name—without destroying the estate’s future?
