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

In The Wedding Murders, international bestselling author S. C. Lalli delivers a gripping mystery set against the opulent backdrop of a luxury resort in Cabo. The much-anticipated wedding of Radhika Singh and Raj Joshi, a high-profile union between two influential Indian-American families, is poised to be the event of the year. But when Radhika and Raj are found murdered just before the festivities begin, the celebration turns into a scene of chaos and suspicion.

Shaylee “Shay” Kapoor, an outsider who is dating Raj’s best friend, Caleb Prescott III, is unexpectedly thrust into the center of this high-stakes drama. As the resort’s wedding coordinator, Daniela, discovers the bodies with gunshot wounds to the head, the police are quick to speculate that the murders are the work of a drug cartel. With guests sent home and the resort locked down, the investigation begins.

Amidst the turmoil, Shay stays close to Caleb as tensions rise and accusations fly. With the murder scene seemingly impenetrable due to state-of-the-art security, the list of suspects narrows to just a few: Zara, the bride's sister; Caleb and Sean, the best men; and Daniela, the coordinator—all of whom had access to the room.

Shay, despite being an outsider with her own hidden agenda, might be the key to unraveling the mystery. As she delves into the tangled web of deceit and secrets, Shay must navigate the lies and hidden motives of everyone involved to uncover why anyone would want the bride and groom dead.

The Wedding Murders combines the intrigue of White Lotus and the suspense of The Guest List, offering a thrilling exploration of wealth, power, and betrayal.
