Crafts and Life

Julia Bonatti is alarmed by the astrological signs looming over Geneva Leary’s wedding day, but nobody asked Julia’s opinion and being a bridesmaid means supporting the bride no matter what. Even with the foreboding Moon-Mars-Pluto lineup in the heavens, no one’s prepared for the catastrophes that strike: a no-show sister, a passed-out wedding planner, and a lethal shooting in the dead of night.

With anger and grief threatening to tear the Leary family part, Julia is determined to understand how such a terrible tragedy could occur. As she digs deeper into the family’s secrets, her astrological insights will lead her to the truth about a criminal enterprise that stretches far beyond the California coast.

Julia is supporting an old friend by being one of her bridesmaids (her two sisters are the other two), she is a little worried that the timing is not good astrologically but no one had got her to check, and it seems that Julia's fears are well founded when one of the sisters has managed to get herself well and truly drunk (she claimed to have only had a couple of glasses of wine but seeing as she has a history of drinking and drug abuse no one believes her!), later in the evening the wedding planner collapses having drunk some wine but there is worse to come when there is a fatal shooting back at the house of the other sister.  Julia needs to work out what signs lead to murder and what signs lead to the answers.
