About this ebook
Long-buried secrets resurface when a woman returns home for her sister’s lavish resort wedding in the Everglades, where gossiping aunties and Burmese pythons aren’t the only threats, in this suspense novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Matchmaker.
“Aisha Saeed’s portrayal of big, ethnic families is so accurate it is both affirming and triggering. I was equal parts entertained and horrified (but in a really good way).”—Jesse Q. Sutanto, author of Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers
It’s been three years since Hena Mirza saw her family. Three years since her fiancé mysteriously vanished on their wedding day. Three years since everyone decided she was to blame.
When her younger sister, Lulu, calls with shocking news—she’s getting married in forty-eight hours and their mother is dying—Hena’s plan is simple: fly home, say goodbye, and leave before she reopens old wounds. But nothing about the trip is simple. This isn’t a one-day event. It’s an eight-day desi wedding with a guest list that eerily mirrors the one from her own failed nuptials. And though Hena feels unexpected sparks fly with two men in the wedding party—a childhood friend and a newcomer unfamiliar with her history—the remaining guests quickly make it clear: No one is happy she’s back.
Then Lulu’s carefully planned itinerary goes awry. Hena initially dismisses the strange incidents, but as days pass and the sabotage escalates, it becomes clear that someone is determined to destroy the wedding, just as Hena’s was destroyed years ago. To survive this week, she’ll have to uncover the culprit behind these attacks . . . before the past she’s tried to outrun finally catches up to her.
