Frances Wynn is preparing to marry George Hazelton when wedding plans are interrupted by the arrival of her mother from America and by a murder tied to the family’s social circle. A victim with connections to Frances’s past leaves her balancing bridal obligations with another investigation at exactly the moment she would prefer peace. George works beside her while suspects, secrets, and class expectations complicate the path to the altar. The series installment combines Victorian wedding preparations and mystery, allowing Frances’s long-running romance to advance without giving her a vacation from murder.
