A groom arrested for murder can put a crimp in anybody’s wedding, no matter who designed the bridal gown. So when the nuptials of her best friend are threatened, maid-of-honor Lee Alvarez -- the thirty-four-year old combination of Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone and Janet Evanovitch’s Stephanie Plum - heads south of the border in search of the real killer. Not only does this half Latina, half WASP, and 100% detective discover the well-organized world of plundered Mesoamerican relics, but stumbles across the man of her dreams. Is he too good to be true? Probably. But has she just tasted the best tamales ever? Absolutely. So the day can’t be all bad.With the help of the rest of the Alvarez Family, Never-Had-A-Bad-Hair-Day blueblood mother, Lila Hamilton Alvarez, brother and computer genius, Richard; favorite uncle, 'Tío' Mateo; and Tugger, her energetic orange and white cat, Lee tries to follow her own sage advice, ’When Cupid’s wings start flapping, take cover’ because love and murder can’t be far behind. Olé!A Wedding To Die For is the second novel in a series of humorous murder mysteries involving the Alvarez Family, owners of Silicon Valley’s successful Discretionary Inquiries.
