Mallory Shepard and her sister, Rachel, run a B and B, and plan weddings. They are forced to overbook themselves by Mallory's ex-fiance's mother, Helen, someone who Mallory didn't like, but who had done her a huge favor, and insisted on calling it in. She wanted them to put on the Winter Ball for a local, but expensive, boarding high school, just days before a large celebrity wedding they were planning. To add to the stress, the wedding was going to be filmed for a reality show featuring weddings, from the planning stages, to the actual ceremony.
Another factor in the stress was that Helen insisted on dictating how the Ball was going to be, while out of town, and not even on the Committee for the Ball. Mallory was put in the spot of doing what Ginger, the headmistress, and the Committee wanted, while trying to keep Helen unaware of how her plans were being ignored.
When Helen arrived, she was enraged that her plans hadn't been followed, and also that the headmistress wanted to make the school co-ed, to keep it solvent.
The Winter Ball seemed to be going off okay, until Ginger, the headmistress, who was also the Maid of Honor in the celebrity wedding, was murdered. Mallory gets involved in trying to solve the crime.
The characters in this book were interesting, and the plot was well thought out for the most part. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and look forward to reading other books in this series.
