Book overview

When Jewish businessman Danny Sutton announces his engagement to a stunning Israeli model, his brother and sister-in-law Ezra and Dalia are thrilled for him. They're equally thrilled to pack their suitcases and leave their tiny newlywed apartment in Lakewood, New Jersey for a destination wedding in Jerusalem!

A colorful assortment of family members from England, France, and the U.S. converge in Jerusalem for the wedding, comprised of the devoutly religious and casually traditional, the well-heeled and cash-strapped, those with Moroccan roots and those with Syrian roots. Despite the inevitable clashes of culture, the wedding goes off in picture-perfect style.

And then the unthinkable happens. A family member turns up dead, under suspicious circumstances. The celebration turns into a crime scene!

Who would do such a thing? Dalia is determined to find out, even if it means running headlong into danger. It will take all her powers of observation, not to mention the formidable memory bank of Jewish grandmothers and the analytical genius of the mysterious Rabbi Mugrabi, to connect the dots and bring the mystery to its shocking conclusion.
