Wedding planner Mallory Shepard doesn't have time to organize her own nuptials—because right now she's engaged in solving a murder . . .

When Mallory discovers some old lace at a Port Quincy antique shop, she knows it'll make a perfect headpiece. But she's barely gotten it out of the store before Helene Pierce tears it from her hands. Helene claims it's a family heirloom that went missing when her late husband died in a hit-and-run twenty-five years ago.

The conflict gets more complicated when the veil is attributed to none other than famed seamstress Betsy Ross. Mallory may have a genuine museum piece on her hands, but meanwhile Independence Day is right around the corner and she has to host the town's Revolutionary War re-enactment. Then it becomes clear there's a bigger mystery behind all this history when a local woman is murdered with a musket—and Mallory's investigation could set off some fireworks . . .

      A priceless veil, a disastrous battlefield reenactment, a wedding fraught with problems--it's just another day in the life of a bridal planner. Mallory Shepard's given scant thought to her own nuptials, planned for the coming autumn, until she and a client visit the Antique Emporium, run by mother-daughter team Claudia and June with some help from granddaughter Pia. Bev Mitchell is making purchases there for her own big day, but she and Mallory discover a gorgeous veil hidden in a suitcase that they purchase jointly, and the sight of a stunning sundress immediately leads Mallory to thoughts of moving up her own wedding date. Then Helene Pierce, at one time Mallory's future mother-in-law, rushes into the store to berate Claudia over her plans to join a Revolutionary War reenactment the town has planned and goes ballistic when she sees the veil, which she claims is a stolen family heirloom made by Betsy Ross. The police decide that Mallory can keep the veil in her safe at Thistle Park until the matter is investigated, but it's stolen anyway. Worn out by her mother, who is suddenly pressuring Mallory for grandchildren, Mallory still has high hopes for the reenactment, but when the site is covered with heavy fog, Claudia is shot dead, and both Mallory's fiance's father and Bev's intended are wounded, Mallory's problems increase to the point of chaos despite her attempts at sleuthing. A plucky heroine is overwhelmed by too many mysteries and too many stressful situations.
