Über dieses E-Book
Marriage to her hometown prince turns terrifying when the bride realizes he's a murderer—and she's his next victim in this classic romantic thriller.
Maggy Warren's return to the small town of Milrock is the stuff of fairy tales. After growing up an only child of a widowed mother in the shadow of the wealthy, glittering Beall family, Maggy is to be married to Kirk Beall, eldest son and heir to the family business empire.
Days before the wedding, her childhood friend and protector Josh Mason returns from military service, warning Maggy to call off the wedding. Is it out of jealousy—or does he detect something sinister in Kirk?
Soon enough, a man is dead after what appears to be an accident. But as the body count rises, Maggy is certain her dream come true is really a nightmare.

Autoren-Profil
Mignon G. Eberhart (1899–1996) wrote dozens of mystery novels over nearly sixty years. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, she began writing in high school, swapping English essays with her fellow students in exchange for math homework. She attended Nebraska Wesleyan University, and in the 1920s began writing fiction in her spare time, publishing her first novel, The Patient in Room 18, in 1929. With the follow-up, While the Patient Slept (1931), she won a $5,000 Scotland Yard Prize, and by the end of the 1930s she was one of the most popular female mystery writers on the planet.
Before Agatha Christie ever published a Miss Marple novel, Eberhart wrote romantic crime fiction with female leads. Eight of her books, including While the Patient Slept and Hasty Wedding (1938), were adapted for film. Elected a Mystery Writers of America Grand Master in 1971, Eberhart continued publishing roughly a book a year until the 1980s. Her final novel, Three Days for Emeralds, was published in 1988.
