It's spring and Gayle Schwartz thinks she has a long time before needing to worry about making wedding plans. That is until sister Michelle steps in and decides that she and her family will come for ten days to help plan the guest list and everything else including food and, worst of all, the selection of Gayle's wedding gown. But before Gayle and her fiance, Detective Dave Landis, can prepare for this invasion, Dave finds himself knee deep in solving the murder of Louise Baumgartner, a regular at Gayle's bar, the Hammer 'N Nails. And, of course, from the tips of his whiskers to the tip of his tail, Sammy, the cat, is busy keeping his mistress's relative's and Dave's suspects in line.
