"What follows a wedding? A honeymoon, of course. The beginning of a happily-ever-after future in which Ivy and Mac will travel the country in their motor home searching for the perfect place to settle down and live. No more dead bodies. No more murders. Instead, here they are on a detour to an old dinosaur park, and Ivy is up to her possum-gray hair in ghost goats, deteriorating dinosaurs, and . . . what else? A dead body, of course."--Publisher's description.

"Seniors Ivy Malone and Mac MacPherson have warily circled the idea of marriage for some time while Ivy was on the run and hiding from the murderous Braxton clan. Now the Braxtons are out of the way, and Mac and Ivy have made the Big Decision. They're getting married! The plans are made, the date is set. A church wedding, of course, complete with heirloom wedding gown and Ivy's old friend, Magnolia, walking her down the aisle, and a buffalo barbecue afterward. Except there are the problems of a dead body, a big pile of money, and a killer who is cheerfully willing to bring their plans to a deadly halt."--Publisher's description.

What comes after the honeymoon for Ivy and Mac? Looking for a good place to settle down and leave the nomadic life behind. No more dead bodies. No more killers.What do they find instead? Murder!Beginning with a runaway Miranda and a fiancée in a ruffled red bikini, continuing with a missing gun, and puzzling questions about the dead man. Was he the sweet guy the fiancée claims he was, with not an enemy in the world? Or was he a slick bank robbing con man, with any number of people . . . including the fiancée . . . with reason to put that gunshot hole in his chest?The easiest and perhaps most sensible action for Mac and Ivy would be to head down the road in their motorhome and look for a different place to settle down. But they both have a strong concern for someone in trouble, and then there's also Ivy's persistent mutant curiosity gene . . .

When she heads for Missouri, he goes a different direction, a parting with a dark finality.Okay, fine. She can live without Mac, can't she? Once back on Madison Street, the area looks more rundown than when she left and her house a little shabby, but she's still so very glad to be home.Until she discovers an unpleasant surprise in the upstairs bathtub, a surprise that makes her wonder if she misinterpreted the "sign" from the Lord, and maybe coming home was a big mistake. Because it definitely appears she has not been forgotten by the Braxtons after all.
