After all, why would anyone hire a hit man to bump off a septuagenarian? What on earth could the woman have done to anger anyone enough to hire a hitman? Alex's good friend Annie is more than willing to help find out who killed Martha Saunders, so Alex decides to dive in promising Millie she'll have the murder solved before the I-dos are spoken. But when the wedding venue cancels at the last minute throwing Millie into hysterics, Alex offers her home as a replacement, and wonders if this time she's bitten off more than even she can chew.
