But the party’s over for one of the council members, who keels over dead soon after he sips the bereft bride’s bitter brew.

At a meeting of the local historical-homes council, she serves up the homemade bitters that she made as gifts for her wedding party. But Sam has a way of making lemonade out of the bitterest of lemons.
