Author: Seymour Cresswell
Format: Paperback

Before dawn on a cold, miserably wet Irish morning, Arthur Cummins arrives absurdly early for his wedding to rich girl, Hilary Fenton. He virtually breaks into the church to get out of the rain and falls over a murdered corpse in the apse.

Arthur is desperate for the wedding to go ahead. He has borrowed money from the sinister Gizzard Man and is counting on a large cash wedding gift from Hilary’s daddy to clear the debt. But a body in the body of the church is certain to end the happy day before it begins.

Arthur makes a spur-of-the-moment decision and hides the body in the basement, to be discovered some time in the future.

Then everything spirals rapidly downwards, and Arthur finds himself the main suspect of the murder. And developing an unbefitting crush on investigating detective Francine Bluett only complicates matters.

Enlisting the help of his offbeat friend Tom Farrington, and his now ex-fiancée Hilary, Arthur unwittingly wades deeper into a world of violence and betrayal.

A dark and humorous tale of a spoiled wedding, a murder, and almost a love affair.
