What could possibly go wrong at a wedding? Claire and Dan's best friends are getting married on Christmas Eve, and all hell threatens to break loose, even before the shiveree starts! Set in one of New Orleans' swankiest hotels, the wedding promises to be the society event of the year until the bride's relatives, the 'swamp' Daltons begin battling with the 'society' Daltons, and then the groom's ex-wife shows up.
Throw in a couple of temperamental artists, those who promote them to the top of the art world, and a few pieces of priceless jewelry, and it's inevitable that Claire and Dan will get pulled right into the middle of a murder investigation. Sophie Dunbar, as always, brings the glitter and color of New Orleans to life in this rich gumbo of swanky society, swamp culture, and juicy murder.
