Save the Fate: The Wedding Planner Mystery Series, Book Two

Wedding Planner Kate Ludlow is back with her fun circle of small-town New England friends. Life is clipping along well for Kate. Her wedding season is off to a great start; she has reconnected with her former high school boyfriend, and her teen daughter is happy and looking forward to a fun summer. At the town's traditional kick-off to summer party, "Strawberry Moon," Jack Malone, the town's parodical son, surprises the population with his appearance. He's the best baseball player the whole of New England has ever produced, and he now plays professional baseball in Los Angeles. He hasn't been home in years but has returned home to marry a local girl. He taps Kate to be his wedding planner, and she couldn't be happier; what a boon this will be for her business!

Jack reconnects with old friends and apparently old enemies, too, as his body is found in the Connecticut River on his third day home. Jack's high school girlfriend and Kate's best friend, Jen, is the prime suspect. She can't or won't give an alibi for the time of Jack's death. But she's not the only person who looks guilty. A new business partner has come to Eastbury looking for Jack, claiming Jack cheated him in a business deal gone wrong. Then there's the high school rival who lost everything in a decade's old confrontation with Jack. The state police leading the investigation into Jack's death feel certain Jen is their killer, so Kate has to act. If Jen won't help herself, Kate will have to step in to save her, but this won't help her fledgling relationship with her old/new love, Brian, who is Eastbury's lead detective.
