Three weeks before her wedding, a body turns up on the Highland Games field — and Ginny's Maid of Honor becomes the prime suspect.

Ginny works the suspect list like she works everything else: methodically, relentlessly, one crossed-off name at a time. Until she hits a wall that shouldn't exist — the same woman, in two places at once — someone has an alibi.

Getting proof means getting DNA. Getting DNA means getting caught. And getting caught means Ginny wakes up darted, caged, and one blade away from becoming a voodoo sacrifice — saved, in the end, by a lightning bolt, four alligators hopped up on methamphetamines, and a fiancé who arrives by helicopter to pull her out of a tree.

Surviving was the easy part. Explaining is harder, but Ginny has a hunch that one phone call could solve the problem —if she’s right and if she can get through in time.

A CozyPlus you won’t be able to put down, capped with a HEA you won’t want to miss. Josephine Tey, Dorothy Sayers, and Ellis Peters would approve.
