"Three days before he's due to tie the knot with Priscilla Livingood, eligible bachelor Cornelius Weaver suffers a massive heart attack - in another woman's bed. The scandal is about as good as television for the insular citizens of Hernia, Pennsylvania, and it gets even spicier when the coroner's report reveals possible foul play: Cornelius's curry was spiked with a stimulant." "A thorough canvass of the local gossips reveals that philandering Cornelius had promised to wed no fewer than five women, and did the horizontal hoochie-koochie with all of them. As far as Magdalena is concerned, a woman who will dance the mattress mambo without benefit of marriage is capable of just about anything. And when the mystery heats up, she discovers that the old adage about women scorned may be truer than she thought."--BOOK JACKET.
