They vow to make it a day to remember…
The laugh-out-loud new novel from the bestselling author of Dial A For Aunties, winner of the Comedy Women In Print Prize 2021
‘Funny, razor-sharp and full of twists, this is a fantastic second novel from one of the funniest voices in fiction!’ My Weekly
It’s supposed to be the perfect day…
After getting away with literal murder, Meddy can’t wait to settle down and marry the love of her life, Nathan. She’s found the dress, got the dream venue at Christ Church College, Oxford, plus having a destination wedding comes with the added bonus of not having to invite her very large extended family.
…But is it even a wedding if nobody gets killed?
Although when her meddling aunties get involved, Meddy knows her wedding is going to be anything but quiet. Even though there’s no dead body hidden in the freezer this time, for better or worse, it’s certainly going to be a day she’s never going to forget…

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Sutanto's sweet, hilarious second Aunties mystery (after 2021's Dial A for Aunties), Meddy Chan, who's Chinese Indonesian, and Nathan, who's half English and half Chinese, are getting married at an over-the-top Chinese-Indonesian destination wedding at Christ Church College in Oxford. As much as Meddy's looking forward to her nuptials, the first meeting between Big Aunt, Second Aunt, Ma, and Fourth Aunt, her endearing but totally crazy family, and Nathan's prim parents is a humiliating disaster. Fortunately, the wedding itself is in the capable hands of Meddy's new friend, Staphanie Tanuwijaya, a fellow Chinese Indonesian, whose family-run business is packed with relatives as eccentric as Meddy's. But things go spectacularly awry when Meddy overhears a phone call and realizes Staphanie's family are Indonesian mafia planning to take out one of the wedding guests. But the mafia doesn't reckon with the Aunties, who have no boundaries when it comes to protecting their Meddy. Charming, chaotic, and sometimes ridiculous, this tale will appeal to anyone who both adores and is embarrassed by their family, which is just about everyone.
