The Witness at the Wedding

Description

‘A delightful, thoroughly English whodunnit.’ Daily Mail Meet Carole and Jude, two chalk-and-cheese neighbours who team up to solve a baffling murder. Carole’s hearing wedding bells — or is it a death knell? Carole’s son is getting married to the lovely Gaby. And Carole, in full mother-of-the-groom mode, is determined to give the love birds the Fethering wedding of their dreams! It’s the least she can do . . . Especially since Gaby’s parents are being so very odd about it all. When Carole mentions seating plans and canapés, their eyes glaze over. And any suggestion of announcing their daughter’s happy news leaves them positively terrified. Carole can’t make head nor tail of them. Until . . . tragedy strikes. When one of Gaby’s parents is found dead — in the wreckage of a burnt-out car — Carole realizes the blushing bride-to-be is hiding a shocking secret. Can Carole lift the veil on the truth, before her son’s perfect day goes up in flames? **A CWA DIAMOND DAGGER AWARD WINNER!** Fans of Agatha Christie, Robert Thorogood, M.C.
