Part of Meg Langslow, book 31
First published 2022
Meg Langslow faces her biggest challenge yet when her nephew Kevin asks for help with a dangerous situation. Kevin works as the tech expert for a true crime podcast that examines Virginia cold cases. Someone on the podcast team nearly died in what Kevin believes was an attempted murder disguised as an accident. Kevin needs Meg to investigate the people connected to their cases because he refuses to talk to anyone face to face. The timing couldn't be worse. Meg is already overwhelmed organizing a wedding at Trinity and managing the reception at her house with Michael. Demanding guests have arrived from out of town. Vendors need coordination. Kevin insists the investigation can't wait because the wedding chaos might give the killer another chance to strike. Meg must track down surviving suspects from three local cold cases while keeping the wedding on schedule. One case involves a musician who vanished twenty years ago just as his career was taking off. As Meg juggles wedding preparations and detective work, she discovers that someone will kill to keep old secrets buried.
