About the book
A bridal shower gone wrong quickly turns deadly, and Carly Hale, owner of the grilled cheese shop, must uncover the culprit.
Winter in Balsam Dell is filled with snow, and to lift spirits after the holidays, Carly's former classmate Klarissa Taddeo plans an extravagant bridal shower at the historic Balsam Dell inn. However, a scheduling mix-up causes chaos and forces Klarissa to scramble. Dawn, the maid of honor and wedding planner, comes to the rescue by relocating the shower to her family's mansion and hiring Carly to cater the event. It appears that everything is back on track.
But things take a dark turn when Klarissa's fiancé unexpectedly shows up at the party. A heated argument breaks out between the couple, leading to a shocking revelation. After the groom is discovered dead with poisoned drink in hand at the bottom of the staircase, Carly must use her instincts to clear Klarissa's name and find the real killer.
As they say, the suspect is often closer than you think, especially when it's the bride-to-be.
