For Richer, For Deader

Caught between boorish Detective Chief Inspector Richard Fitzwilliam and a killer wedding party, Lady Beatrice must solve the murder to save the big day.

Rumors are that the recent death of Kelley Lindsell, the personal chef of tycoon Rudy and Sheri Trotman at Sir Hewitt's Fawstead Manor country estate in Fenshire, has spooked Sybil Bransgrove so badly she's considering cancelling her nuptials.

Meanwhile, the bride and her mother Lady Grace are being supported by family friend Lady Beatrice, the Countess of Rossex, who, alongside her business partner Perry Juke, is currently managing the project to refurbish the Manor House and Lodge on the estate.

Not again! Now that Lady Grace has asked amateur sleuth Lady Beatrice to liaise with the police during the investigation into Kelley's death, she'll have to cooperate with boorish Detective Chief Inspector Richard Fitzwilliam whether she likes it or not. Her only relief will be solving the murder with the help of her friends Perry and Simon and her dog Daisy to get rid of him faster. But with so many wedding party guests staying on-site, any one of them could be the killer. Can they find out who it is before Sybil calls off the wedding . . .
