Aside from typical  rumblings of familial tensions, the late spring weather allowed for a  beautiful day, the food was delicious, and everyone had a good time,  until one of the guests goes missing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBefore Lucy can look  forward to the rest of her life in Nags Head and the work she does at  the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library, she gets a phone call from her  boss, Bertie James. Eddie, Bertie’s friend, never made it back home  after the reception. Initially, Lucy doesn’t think anything of  it—sometimes wedding guests simply have a little too much fun. But this  quickly turns to something darker when she discovers the body of a  wedding guest strangled in a locked closet, and the police immediately  start asking questions about Eddie.
