Death in the Bridal Suite: A Village Wedding Cozy Mystery

About Death in the Bridal Suite: A Village Wedding Cozy Mystery

At Bramble House, a society wedding is hours away when the groom’s mother is found dead in the bridal suite. District nurse Hester Finch expected lace, nerves, and impossible relatives. Instead, she finds Arabella Ashcombe dead beside a wedding tea tray, still wearing her corsage and clutching a torn place card.

The scandal turns dangerous at once, because the poisoned tea was served by Hester’s sister, Tilda. If Hester cannot clear her, Finch’s Tea Room may not survive the whispers. But Bramble House is full of people who wanted Arabella silenced: old-money relations desperate to avoid humiliation, ambitious in-laws guarding their social climb, servants with too much access, a discarded suitor who refuses to go quietly, and a family solicitor who knows exactly how far respectable people will go to keep a name clean.

Then Hester traces the torn place card to a hidden guest and a secret buried long before the wedding invitations were sent. This was never about a love affair. It was about a birth, a lie written into legal papers, and a truth that should have stopped the marriage before anyone reached the altar.

And someone is still willing to kill to keep it hidden.
