In Marne Davis Kellogg s fourth wildly entertaining mystery featuring Lilly Bennett， the intrepid marshal of Bennett s Fort， Wyoming， and president of Bennett Security， finally makes it to the altar--but not before stopping a one-man crime wave， being abducted in the trunk of a Cadillac， and confronting a murderer over a rose-strewn casket.Lilly s long-suffering mother can finally breathe a sigh of relief--and reap the rewards of her finely honed party-planning skills--by throwing the wedding of the century! Lilly s marriage to her dashing suitor， Richard Jerome， is just a week away.??But where Lilly Bennett is concerned， that week might as well be a lifetime.And sure enough， it s at a pre-wedding party that the first shooting occurs.??The victim is the hostess herself， Alma Rutherford Gilhooly--larger， louder， and brassier than life， but also richer than Croesus--who is found in her dressing room with a bullet in her head just moments after Lilly has left.Suspects abound--from Alma s philandering husband to charismatic televangelist Johnny Bourbon， to hunky white hunter Kennedy McGee， to Alma s own half sister， Mercedes， now president and CEO of Rutherford Oil and Alma s chief rival in a bitter proxy fight.??To muddy the waters--and give Lilly a bunch of prenuptial headaches that have nothing to do with getting cold feet--each one of these suspicious characters seems to be sleeping in the wrong bed.So what s the motive--business or pleasure? It takes three more attempted murders and all of Lilly s investigative powers for the villain to be caught， just in time for the wedding!As always， Marne Davis Kellogg s character portraits are devastatingly on-target， her mystery scrupulously plotted， and her sense of place immaculately portrayed.
