A Lavish Wedding. One Dead Bride. A Tangled Web of Deception.

James Lalonde thought being a groomsman at his ex-girlfriend's wedding would be the most awkward part of his weekend.

He couldn't be more wrong...

After a storm disrupts the bridal party's photography session, the bride's body is found floating in the château lake, and James becomes the prime suspect.

Determined to clear his name, James teams up with his grandfather to investigate. But the deeper they dig, the more disturbing the picture becomes. Behind the smiles lie grudges, affairs, and whispered threats.

But someone is willing to kill to keep it that way...

As the body count rises, James must untangle a web of lies and betrayal before the killer strikes again. In a case where nothing is as it seems, can James trust his own instincts? Or will his amateur sleuthing lead him into the killer's crosshairs?
