After her beautiful Outer Banks Wedding, Lucy hears from her boss at the Bodie Island Lighthouse Library that her friend never made it back from the reception, in the tenth novel of the series following Death by Beach Read. Lucy and Connor has planned for the perfect Outer Banks wedding. And 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. Then one of the wedding guests goes missing: Eddie, a friend of Lucy's boss, Bertie James, never made it back after the reception. When the body of a different guest is found-- strangled, in a locked closet-- the police immediately start asking questions about Eddie. Lucy must figure out if the two are connected before it's too late both for Bertie's friend and the rest of her wedding guests. With the Classic Novel Reading Club reading the Selected Works of Edgar Allan Poe Lucy wonders if the master of the macabre can assist her investigation or if the hunt for the killer's identity will remain as nothing more than an unsolved mystery. -- adapted from jacket
