The Matchmaker

A society matchmaker realizes she’s in danger when her clients’ weddings are sabotaged in increasingly disturbing ways--an utterly original mystery from New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed.

＂An intriguing mystery and a heartfelt romance all in one . . . fresh, original, and utterly charming.＂--Liane Moriarty, author of Big Little Lies

Business has never been better for Nura Khan, a third-generation matchmaker in Atlanta. Her exclusive clientele benefits from her impeccable track record. And while a single thirty-one-year-old matchmaker would normally raise some perfectly threaded eyebrows in the community, Nura’s childhood best friend, Azar, is willing to double as her pretend fiancé at her clients’ weddings--even though Nura’s feelings for him might not be so pretend.

But all that glitters isn’t gold. While it’s not uncommon to get the occasional hate mail from rejected prospective clients, Nura is blindsided after a couple’s carefully constructed wedding implodes, the first in a cascading chain of suspicious and increasingly terrifying events. Someone is taking things too far, and with Azar and her matchmaking team by her side, Nura embarks on a dangerous cat-and-mouse game that threatens not only her safety but everything she’s worked so hard to build.
