Abby's flighty cousin Jillian has jilted four men at the altar already — so, as the wedding approaches, stress levels are understandably high for everyone involved. For Abby this is especially true: Not only is she forced to wear a hideous dress and work overtime as emergency analyst for the would-be runaway bride; her "weasel of an ex-fianc" is the best man. But, against the odds, Jillian makes it to the altar, and the wedding goes off without a hitch. That is, until Abby finds the body of Jack Snyder, an ex-con mysteriously dressed in a waiter's uniform, behind the minister's platform in the gazebo. With the help of hunky restaurateur Marco Salvare and her assistants Grace and Lottie, Abby tries to weed out the real killer from a multitude of thorny suspects. p
