My mother is obsessed with every detail of my wedding – controlling my dress, my ring, my happiness… But when the day finally comes, will she really let me go?
I’m smiling as I walk down the aisle, but my smile masks cold, clammy, prickling fear, even though it’s meant to be the happiest day of my life.
My husband-to-be, Owen, is everything to me, with his sandy hair and sparkling blue eyes. He convinced me everything would be fine. That we’d be safe. I pray he was right as I reach for his hand. He smiles reassuringly. I swallow hard.
Because last year, my sister’s fiancé was murdered on his wedding day. And I found my mother’s corsage next to his body…
So when our guests are asked if they have any objections, I hold my breath. Please let me be wrong about what she did. Please let Owen be safe.
But when I turn to look at my mother, my blood turns to ice.
There is only dark, calculating fury in her eyes. I knew she didn’t want to let me go. But is my husband’s life actually in danger? Or is mine…?

Review
Often mothers in law are not very well liked by their sons or daughters in law. Although there are a lot of them who are very loving and kind, some are really big busy bodies and want to impose their points of view. And that’s of course, not something that is appreciated all the time.
You should be honest at all times, but sometimes you hide something to protect your family even though the one you are keeping out of jail is not your favorite person on earth. Guild eats at you because you might have got yourself in serious trouble and the culprit escapes from being punished.
Who is telling tales and who is genuine in this story? Is the mother of the bride the worst of the worst or is someone maybe even more devious?
I loved trying to untangle this web woven by the author. Some people are dishonest to keep themselves safe. Others do it because they want to bring mayhem.
Prepare to be shocked when the killer of the sister’s fiance is being revealed. 5 stars
Thank you
