Something old. Something new. Something borrowed. Something untrue.
A poisoned glass. A priceless vintage. And a detective duo who definitely weren't on the guest list.
When a worried mother asks Laura Carlyle to keep a discreet eye on her son's wedding, she and Sebastian Silver arrive at a crumbling Dorset estate expecting nothing worse than family tension and bad speeches. Instead, a guest is dead before dessert – poisoned at the welcome dinner with a glass of Napoleonic War-era wine older than anyone in the room.
The groom is old money with a title and an empty bank account. The bride is a lifestyle influencer with twelve million followers and a camera crew entourage for a family. They've loved each other since childhood, but everyone around them has other plans, and everyoneat the table had a motive.
Everyone had a grudge.
And in a house full of cameras, ring lights, and pre-nup lawyers, working out who's performing and who's grieving is harder than it looks.
But Sebastian knows that the real secret isn't at the table. It's underneath it.
From black-tie dinners to smugglers' tunnels beneath the cliffs, the most photographed wedding of the year is hiding something worth far more than followers – and if Laura and Sebastian can't unmask the killer before Sunday's vows, the bride won't be the only one walking away in tears…
