Book Description:
A family wedding gone awry sets the pace in this deliciously deadly Sarah Kelling/Max Bittersohn's family embraced her with warm and welcoming arms. To repay their kindness, she throws Max's nephew a glorious wedding on her family's sprawling seaside estate. But then, what starts as a perfect day for a marriage soon deteriorates into a multi-pronged disaster. First, Max is knocked unconscious by someone looking to steal the bride's gold and ruby necklace. Then, a hot air balloon crashes into the tent, leaving a corpse in its wake. And, to add insult to injury, someone attempts to steal a vintage Rolls. It will take all of Max's formidable skills as the world's greatest expert on art theft to get to the bottom of these nuptials-turned-nasty.
