With her
nuptials less than 3 weeks away, Erin Gilbert is designing a wine cellar for
Aunt Bea—Steve Sullivan's honorary “Aunt” (who Steve privately calls “the loon
from the family closet”). But Erin, not as much of a skeptic as Steve, fears
that Aunt Bea's prediction that they “unleashed an evil spirit” during construction
in her cellar could come true!!
Drew, Steve’s
best man, loses all of his money and Steve loans him what he needs to finish
his restaurant, which touches off a pre-wedding argument between Gilbert and
Sullivan. Drew, now a reckless ladies’ man and depraved partier, seems to be
intentionally exacerbating the tension between bride and groom…
When the new
chef, the colorful Lucas LeBlanc, crashes the couple's wedding shower and
brings his own hors d'oeuvres to serve, Erin’s wedding planner collapses—his
face bright red—and dies. The police discover a sapphire necklace in his
pocket—a family a gift from Aunt Bea that has caused family disquiet before…and
suddenly, everyone’s a suspect!!
If she doesn’t
find the real killer soon, Erin fears that the wedding she so carefully planned,
will end in ruin!
