Tragically, Max dies in his bride's arms. Having previously heard of Cassidy and Zach's sleuthing abilities, Claire appeals to Cassidy for their assistance. She wants them to investigate what appears to a professional hit. Soon they learn of a multitude of suspects who might want Max dead. Worse, their questions lead to a stalker who threatens Cassidy's life. In the seventh Cassidy McCabe mystery WEDDING'S WIDOW, author Alex Matthews once again proves her excellence at creating well constructed mystery and a cast of characters readers cannot help but love.
