Helen Hawthorne is on the run, trying to stay one step ahead of her past--and one paycheck ahead of disaster. To make it, she jumps from one dead-end job to another. Luckily, she's got a lot of talents--including one for detection...


When Helen Hawthorne takes a job at the upscale Millicent's Bridal Salon, she expects to see some sentimental tears as brides pick out their gowns. But when a rich, obnoxious mother-of-the-bride named Kiki is killed, it seems most of the tears are fake. When Helen's fingerprints are found on the murder weapon--a wedding dress--she must solve the case to prove her innocence. Is the murderer Kiki's money-strapped ex-husband? The bride who finally got tired of letting Mom run the show? The groom whose career is about to be ruined? Or one of the numerous boy toys promised a million dollars in the will?
