      Florence Norris and George ''Birdie'' Bird are planning their low-key wedding at the parish church in their beloved village of Dovecote Hatch. When a mysterious stranger seeks George out in The Dog & Whistle, with talk of a buried body and murder, an ominous feeling falls over the happy couple. Can they solve the mystery and walk down the aisle?

      Secrets, mystery and wedding bells at Dovecote Hatch!

      1933, Dovecote Hatch, England. Florence Norris knows she has found a good man in George ''Birdie'' Bird, the landlord of the local pub, The Dog & Whistle. They are set to marry in the parish church of their beloved village of Dovecote Hatch. But when a mysterious stranger seeks out George, sharing family secrets and talks of an illegal burial years ago, an ominous dread falls over the happy couple.

      Meanwhile, Agnes Younger, a local recluse whose health is ailing, calls upon her cousin Sophie Dawson to come home. Sophie is relieved to be escaping a scandal, not of her making, but is soon in the thick of something far more dramatic! There may just be a link between Agnes''s imminent demise and the poor soul who was buried illegally.

      As Florence and George are pulled reluctantly into this mystery, they uncover unpleasant truths and dark entanglements in this idyllic English village. Not everyone is as they seem . . . Will Florence and George have the beautiful church wedding they long for, or will the truth stand in the way of their well-deserved happily ever after?
