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

In S. C. Lalli’s gripping thriller, reminiscent of White Lotus and The Guest List, a high-stakes wedding turns into a nightmare when the bride and groom are found murdered just before their lavish nuptials. The opulent weeklong celebration for Radhika Singh and Raj Joshi, set in a luxury Cabo resort, was meant to unite two powerful Indian-American families in a grand affair dubbed “R&R”—a blend of rest, relaxation, and romance. But when the resort’s wedding coordinator discovers the bodies of Radhika and Raj with fatal gunshot wounds, the celebration devolves into chaos.

Shaylee “Shay” Kapoor, an outsider drawn into this world of affluence through her relationship with Raj’s best friend, Caleb Prescott III, finds herself at the heart of the unfolding drama. As the resort is sealed off and the guests are sent away, the investigation begins. Despite initial suspicions pointing to a drug cartel hit, the locked hotel room doors and the limited number of keyholders—a select group including Zara (the bride's sister), Caleb, Sean (the best men), and Daniela—suggest that the murderer was someone with inside access.

With the police investigating the possibility of cartel involvement and accusations flying, Shay’s unique position as an outsider gives her a fresh perspective on the tangled web of deceit. As secrets and lies are unearthed, Shay must unravel the mystery behind the murders and confront her own hidden agenda before her involvement is exposed.

The Wedding Murders is a suspenseful and intricate novel, blending high society drama with a riveting murder mystery, perfect for fans of twist-filled thrillers. 📚❤️
