Wedding Treasure

Marton Manor in rural Herefordshire makes a romantic setting even for a hastily organised wedding. And it is a quickly-arranged ceremony indeed that Fleur Jarvas is demanding - even though marrying before her twenty-first birthday means forfeiting a large inheritance. Naturally all the guests including Mark Treasure and his wife Molly are dying to know why . . .But that is only the first mystery of a sinister country weekend. The real question is why the long-straying father of the bride shows up uninvited . . . As the wedding-eve rituals gather pace so does the tension. And when the next day dawns it is not to bells and confetti but to two unexplained deaths a pointed disappearance - and a testing case for Treasure.'Clues and red herrings jostle agreeably; Mark Treasure sorts 'em out bankable as ever' Sunday Times'A tale well told.
