A Southern smalltown wedding attracts well-wishers—and a killer—in this cozy mystery by the New York Times–bestselling author of Mad as the Dickens.
Romance is in the air—and so is murder—in the eighth in Agatha Award-winning author Toni L.P. Kelner's small-town Southern mystery series.
Laura Fleming knows that love plays by its own rules. After all, she did the unthinkable and married a Yankee. But even she's shocked to hear that her indomitable Aunt Maggie, a spinster closer to eighty than seventy, has eloped with Big Bill Walters. Laura, her husband Richard, and their baby daughter hightail it home, where Laura discovers the real motive behind Aunt Maggie's marriage. Someone is trying to kill Big Bill, and Aunt Maggie plans to stick close enough to find the culprit—with Laura's help.
Big Bill is Byerly's wealthiest businessman, so it's little surprise certain folks have a beef with him. In fact, there's a stack of threatening letters going back decades to wade through. Claims of land theft and worker injury abound, plus Aunt Maggie's one-time beau, Pudd'nhead Wilson, is back in town. Innocents are getting caught in the crossfire, and Laura concocts a risky plan to lure the killer into the open. But she'll need to keep Aunt Maggie safe too, or Byerly's oldest newlywed will soon be its newest widow . . .

      The Southern milieu with its friendly warmth and innumerable relatives belies the hatred and tensions smoldering beneath the surface in Kelner's eighth airy Laura Fleming cozy (after 2001's Mad as the Dickens). More snoop than sleuth, Laura goes home to Byerly, N.C., with her Yankee professor husband and six-month-old baby, to celebrate her Aunt Maggie's marriage to Big Bill Walters, the local tycoon. Soon, however, she gets involved trying to figure out who's sent Big Bill threatening letters and made three clumsy attempts on his life. The characters speak with enough "y'alls" to give credence to the setting but not irritate the reader. Good humor abounds amid the murder and mayhem in this sprawling family.
