Attending your best friend's wedding should be a piece of (wedding) cake, but not for bestselling mystery author Eleanor Dash. Because murder seems to follow her every time she goes on holiday - and is her uninvited plus-one to this special occasion . . .

Eleanor's best friend, Emma, is starring in a movie alongside her co-star and fiancé, Fred. As filming wraps, they invite the whole cast and crew to their wedding at nearby Catalina Island.

There may be a storm headed their way - because of course there is - but nothing will stop their nuptials. That is until Emma receives a note that says: Someone is going to die at the wedding.

Eleanor is a professional at this point and she'll do everything she can to uncover the murderer so true love can prevail. But will this be a destination wedding to die for in more ways than one?
