It’s Nantucket wedding season, aka summer: the sight of a bride running down Main Street is as common as the sunset on Madaket Beach. The Otis-Winbury wedding promises to be an event to remember: The groom’s wealthy parents have spared no expense in hosting a lavish ceremony at their beachfront estate.

But it’s going to be memorable for all the wrong reasons after tragedy strikes: A body is discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony, and everyone in the wedding party suddenly becomes a suspect. As Police Chief Ed Kapenash interviews the bride, the groom, the groom’s famous mystery novelist, and even a member of his own family, he discovers that every wedding is a minefield and that no couple is perfect. .

“Amelia Sacks is about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket. Her disapproving mother-in-law-to-be, famed novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense planning what promises to be the biggest wedding of the season–until a body washes up on the beach. As secrets come to light, she sets the stage for a real-life investigation that seems like it was taken from the pages of one of Greer’s novels. Suddenly everyone is a suspect.”
