When the couple is about to say their vows, a shot rings out and Max keels over. He is the dead victim of a professional hit. An upset Claire pleads with Cassidy and Zach to find out who killed her groom. The pair agree having experience in solving high profile homicides in the past. During the course of their investigations they learn that Max had many enemies who would want him dead. Almost as soon as they start asking questions, Cassidy acquires a stalker who warns her off the investigations if she wants to see tomorrow.
This is the seventh Cassidy McCabe mystery and it is absolutely terrific. The characters have grown and changed in ways that make their marriage a joyous celebration of life and them more of a team on this investigation than before. Zach realizes he can't control Cassidy and she knows that there are times it is better to give in then argue. The victim in this novel wasn't a bad man, just a flawed one who managed to get the wrong person angry. Alex Matthews is a talented author who knows how to keep her series fresh and challenging.
