The Plus One: A Novel By S.C. Lalli

In The Secret Wedding Murders, international bestselling author S. C. Lalli crafts a gripping mystery with high stakes and hidden agendas. The opulent wedding of Radhika Singh and Raj Joshi, set to be the social event of the year at a lavish Cabo resort, promises a week of celebration for two influential Indian-American families. But just as the festivities are about to commence, the luxury event turns into a nightmare when both Radhika and Raj are found dead from gunshots in their hotel room.

Shaylee "Shay" Kapoor, an outsider in this world of wealth and privilege, finds herself at the center of the chaos. Although she is dating Raj’s best friend, Caleb Prescott III, Shay is not part of the inner circle. When the resort’s wedding coordinator, Daniela, discovers the bodies, the scene erupts into turmoil, with guests sent home and speculation running rampant. The police initially suspect a cartel hit, but the evidence complicates the theory: the resort’s state-of-the-art locks and key access limit the pool of suspects.

Shay, despite her outsider status and her own concealed secrets, is drawn into the investigation. As she navigates a web of deception and grief, she uncovers hidden motives and lies among the wedding party. With only a few people having had access to the crime scene, Shay must unravel the mystery before her own secrets are exposed and before the true killer escapes justice.

The Secret Wedding Murders is a tantalizing blend of intrigue and suspense, blending the opulence of a high-profile event with the tension of a classic whodunit.
