Love is blooming in Ashland, Oregon. The Shakespearean hamlet is bursting with fresh spring energy. Fragrant lilacs and the sweet aroma of vanilla cake fill the air as everyone in town gathers at Lithia Park for the celebration of the year—Thomas and Kerry's wedding. It's a picture perfect day. Guests gather on picnic blankets in front of the bandshell to watch Kerry walk down the aisle and wed Ashland's favorite detective in training, Thomas. Jules and her team at Torte have been tasked with catering the outdoor reception and everything is going according to plan—until a wedding crasher shows up. The uninvited guest isn't just someone looking to score a free glass of champagne. It's Kerry's estranged father who is supposed to be behind bars. Kerry is distraught. Jules vows to do everything she can to make sure that there are no other surprises on her friend's big day. But when the bassist for Heart Strings, the wedding band, is found stabbed with the blunt end of his instrument Jules' promise takes on new meaning. Now she will have to slice through the five tiered cake and a bevy of potential suspects in order to track down a killer before they turn the knife on her. Runtime: 7. 16 hours, 6 library CDs
