Abigail Summers, dressmaker in life, brilliant sleuth in death, is investigating two deaths connected to a society wedding in the small village of Becklesfield. Helped by psychic medium, Hayley, her policeman husband and her fellow spirits, Abigail finds plenty of suspects and clues.

Meanwhile, another case emerges when a recently deceased man is found on a canal barge alongside another victim, Angie Metcalfe - the new girlfriend of their longtime nemesis, DCI Johnson. As suspicion falls on the gruff inspector himself, Abigail and her spectral sleuths must find out if the cantankerous detective was framed.

The fifth book in Ann Parker's Abigail Summers Cozy Mysteries, THE DEADLY WEDDING weaves together suspense, humour and a touch of the paranormal.
