Samenvatting:

A wedding. A snowstorm. A killer among the guests.
When Eleanor Blackwood receives an invitation to the first wedding at Hartwell Manor in thirty years, she knows it is not a celebration—it is a summons. Cordelia Ashworth, daughter of the man who watched Lily Valentine die, is marrying her longtime partner in a lavish ceremony designed to restore the family's shattered reputation. The Murder Club is invited. The question is: by whom, and why?
The wedding is beautiful. The bride is radiant. The guests are nervous. And then, during the first dance, a body falls from the gallery balcony.
Father Thomas Brennan—the elderly priest who was supposed to have married Lily Valentine and Edward Ashworth twenty-five years ago—lies dead on the ballroom floor. He was about to give a toast. He was about to reveal a secret he had carried since that fateful Valentine's night. Someone made sure he never spoke.
A blizzard traps everyone inside the manor. No one can leave. No one can be trusted. The killer is among the wedding guests, and the Murder Club must solve the crime before the snow melts and the murderer escapes.
As Ellie and her team investigate, the secrets of Hartwell Manor begin to crack open. They discover Lily's blood-stained wedding dress hidden in the attic. They learn that Father Thomas heard Lily's final confession—and was bound by sacred vows never to reveal what she told him. They uncover a web of complicity that reaches deeper into the Ashworth family than anyone imagined.
Dev confronts ghosts from his past when a wedding guest recognizes him from Birmingham. Patience finally reveals the evidence she has hidden for decades. And Juno comes face to face with the man who might be her father—Edward Ashworth—and demands the truth about the night her mother died.
But the most devastating revelation belongs to the killer herself. Because the person who pushed Father Thomas from that balcony is not a monster. She is a woman who made an impossible choice twenty-five years ago and has been making it ever since.
In this gripping third installment of the Valentine's Day Murder Club series, a glamorous wedding becomes a deadly trap, old sins demand payment, and the line between protector and predator disappears entirely.
Someone always dies at weddings. This time, it was murder.
