Wedding Chimes,

Assorted Crimes

Theme weddings are the current rage in Lake Hope and Keely O’Brien is the photographer of choice for the socially elite. But Keely’s presence at two weddings from which the gifts are stolen damages her reputation in the community. A local gossip columnist, Flo Netherton, implies that Keely and caterer Max Summers are the inside contacts for the thieves. Pocketing her pride and her distrust of Max, Keely convinces him to help her uncover the real inside contact. Together they explore the grimy underside of the lace and tulle world of society weddings. Suddenly, once friendly business colleagues are too busy—or too afraid—to talk. Overnight, Max and Keely become pariahs. Something blacker than rumors is responsible for the wall of silence. And then, Flo Netherton’s body is discovered in Keely’s ransacked studio. Now the stakes are much higher than the survival of their businesses. . .
