Wedding Woes

Wedding Woes - Long Version

After the death of her mother, Professor Maggie McManus accepts a hospitality instructor position at Panhandle State University, River Town, Florida. Growing up in a small sidewalk community in Massachusetts, doors were left unlocked, and children were free to walk to school and the library unsupervised. She quickly learns small communities are not created equal. Experiencing bullying firsthand, she discovers there are many misguided people on campus. A product of their small-town upbringing, consumed with hatred and bigotry, they became evil enough to kill.

The past six months were likened to an out-of-control roller coaster ride. At the peak of Maggie's ride is her recent engagement to hotel manager Trip Evans. The downside of the ride— Maggie and her finance, Trip Evans, should be planning their wedding when a PSU employee is shot at the River Town Hotel. Trip, a potential witness, is targeted next. When Maggie receives a threatening note, she and Trip, in fear of their lives, go into hiding. They know from experience they can't rely on Detectives Callahan and Barker to catch the killer. Things must change in River Town if they are ever going back.
