All's fair in marriage, money, and murder...In the luxury retirement community of Egret's Loft, residents gather to celebrate the wedding of two of their own. But not all of the elderly attendees wish the newlyweds well. Hushed rumors flow faster than the champagne-accusing the bride, a serial widow, of murdering her previous husbands. So when the groom is found dead, a cork lodged in the back of his throat, suspicion automatically falls on his black widow wife. Madeline Delarouse, newly moved to Egret's Loft, fears her neighbor's past could be clouding the investigation. With the police poised to make an arrest, Madeline-who's not entirely convinced of the bride's innocence herself-resolves to dig deeper into the dead man's past. But as Madeline and her new best friend, Gina, try to unravel a complex web of resentment, greed, and deceit, the killer sets their sights on their next victim. Can Madeline unmask the murderer before she, or someone close to her, stumbles across the secret someone's killing to keep?
