A Bridesmaid's Guide to the Things People Hide
(2025)(The second book in the Emelia Walsh Cozy Mysteries series)
A novel by Abigail Scott
The Hartwell family has everything: billions in the bank, a stunning New Hampshire estate, and a tragic legacy that's claimed every family member before age fifty. While Emmy is no stranger to wedding-day chaos, the Hartwell Estate is on another level, with a guest list that includes—
- senators, governors, and helicopter arrivals,
people who offer diamonds to apologize for messing up your hair,
the world’s most competitive wedding party,
and a bride who’s one second away from fleeing.
Her cover? Author. Her real job? Quietly using her skills as a professional bridesmaid to make sure the bride gets her happy ending. Emmy thinks she’s got things under control…until a string of alarming incidents turn the weekend upside down.
Emmy finds herself working alongside John Sutton again—now a Detective Sergeant but just as infuriating and magnetic as ever—when he reappears in the most unexpected way possible. This time, her butterflies have become caffeinated bees.
And through it all, she needs to figure out why this man, nicknamed ‘The Fairytale’ by her friends, despises weddings so much.
With her sharp eye for detail and a knack for unlocking secrets (literally—she can pick any lock), Emmy must read the room the way she always does—watching what people reach for, what they hide, and what they’re willing to lose—to uncover a culprit in a world where everything looks perfect from the driveway.
