A PROPOSAL TO DIE FOR

Molly Harper

White Lotus meets Bridesmaids in this fast-paced and witty debut mystery about a wedding planner whose job is threatened by the discovery of a dead body (or two).
Jessamine Bricker loves a plan. Contingency plans and pros and cons lists are her love language, and because of that, her proposal planning business is thriving. But with rising rent costs looming, she jumps at the chance to plan a proposal between her snobby high school classmate, Diana, and her very wealthy boyfriend, Trenton Tillard... the Fourth. Jess joins Diana's bachelorette retreat at the family-run Golden Ash resort. But their first day is anything but relaxing: Diana is furious about the spa's "no cell phone" rule, the couple next door is fighting, and Jess swears she just saw a drug deal go down. To top it all off, she's warned to stay out of the woods by the gruff and sexy chef, Dean Osbourne. Is this a retreat or a horror movie? As Jess tries to do her job while placating the bride-to-be and her increasingly over-the-top demands, she finds herself spending time with Dean - just to avoid the drama, of course. But when an "accident" claims the life of one guest and Jess discovers another body (in the sauna of all places), it's clear secrets abound at the Golden Ash. Now it's up to Jess to unravel the mysteries here in the mountains - before she's silenced for good. Molly Harper lived in Kentucky for most of her life before recently moving to Michigan with her family.and she's still figuring out how to choose outerwear and play complicated winter card games. A PROPOSAL TO DIE FOR is her mystery debut.
