Excitement abounds on Martha’s Vineyard in the final count-down to the wedding of Priscilla’s daughter, Rachel, and her husband-to-be, A.J. In addition to taking care of last-minute wedding details—complicated by interference from Merilee, A.J.’s sister—Priscilla becomes involved in a local wild-food chef apprentice challenge. Gerald’s troubled young cousin is competing for a big cash price and a plum job. But someone is undermining the candidates, eliminating them through mistakes and accidents. When evidence points to Kevin as the culprit—followed by his abrupt disappearance—Priscilla worries his second chance at a new life has failed. Or could he be the victim of a serious crime?

Worse yet, when A.J. also vanishes, Priscilla and Gerald must go undercover to search for him too. Can they find A.J. in time for the wedding, or will Rachel be left at the altar?

Prickly Virginia Lawrence, a preeminent scholar of Vineyard history, is also a notorious recluse. Therefore, the island is abuzz when Priscilla manages to book a library lecture with the local eccentric. However, on the evening of the event, Virginia is a no-show and nowhere to be found, and the valuable museum artifacts in her possession are now missing as well. As Priscilla delves into the mystery of Virginia’s ill-timed disappearance, a seemingly unrelated puzzle emerges. Could a rash of random cemetery plunderings somehow be connected to the missing historian?

As pressure builds to find Virginia and the missing priceless artifacts, she begins to doubt her own instincts—especially when she spies Gerald having mysterious dinner meetings with a lovely blonde-haired woman.
