But things take an eerie turn when a body turns up on the beach and Greer is questioned by detectives who ask her if there's anything she wants to tell them.

More suspicious moments arise in the teaser when Eve Hewson's character, Amelia Sacks, asks Greer's family during a dinner scene why they ask people to sign non-disclosure agreements.

"They're rich," says one character about the family in the teaser. "Kill-someone-and-get-away-with-it rich."

According to a synopsis for the series, which is based on author Elin Hilderbrand's bestselling novel of the same name, the show will follow Amelia, who is "about to marry into one of the wealthiest families on Nantucket."

"Her disapproving future mother-in-law, famous novelist Greer Garrison Winbury, has spared no expense in planning what promises to be the premiere wedding of the season -- until a body turns up on the beach," the synopsis continues. "As secrets come to light, the stage is set for a real-life investigation that feels plucked from the pages of one of Greer's novels. Suddenly, everyone is a suspect."
