Engaged to Die

Description

When wealthy, widowed art patron Virginia Neville officially announces her engagement to Jake O’Neill — her handsome, charming, and much younger fiancé — at a gala gallery opening, not all the gathered friends and stepfamily are pleased. And before the last champagne bubble pops, murder disrupts the grand celebration. Bookstore owner Annie Darling has a vested interest in the investigation, and she’s determined to untangle an unholy marriage of jealousy, blackmail, and malicious mischief, even if it means having to cross swords with hubby Max and cross paths with a cruelly clever stalker.
