Independence Day Murder

No one will be able to hear gunshots on the Fourth of July.

Planning a friend’s wedding the week of the Fourth of July is stressful enough, but Tessa’s best friend insisted on getting married at a new winery in Shady Lake that has never hosted a wedding before. While Tessa does her best to help plan the wedding, she starts to get caught up in a low-key corruption scandal in Shady Lake. Murray Biggs, a new doctor in town, has bribed his way into having a private beach and the residents of the small town are not standing for it. 

But then Murray is shot during the Fourth of July fireworks and everything is thrown into chaos when Derek, the owner of the winery, is accused of the murder and the wedding is seemingly canceled. Not only does Tessa have to solve the murder to exonerate Derek and get the wedding back on track, but she only has a few days to do it. 

Can she get it all done in time to see her friend walk down the aisle?

While you can enjoy Independence Day Murder as a standalone, it is more fun to start the series with Halloween Hayride Murder.
