Samantha Washington’s mother, Grace Hamilton and her fiance, Harold Robertson are planning to get married on Christmas Eve. The wedding is only three weeks away and Sam is up to her neck in bubble gum pink bridesmaid dresses. When Harold’s snooty sister-in-law enlists the help of a wedding planner, Lydia Lighthouse comes to North Harbor. Lydia is an abrasive southern belle who bulldozes everyone to get what she wants, including the brides. Its not surprising that she is strangled and stabbed. But is Harold the one who killed her? The police think so. Unless Sam, Nana Jo and the girls can find the real killer, Grace may be left at the altar.

Philippe Claiborne, party planner to the aristocracy, is hired to help. However, when Claiborne is found murdered after an argument with the duke, Lady Elizabeth must figure out who murdered the party planner if Lady Daphne and the Duke of Kingsfordshire are to have their happy ending.
