I liked this book
Enjoyable enough read to get the next book in the series.
How do you find the murderer when everyone hated the victim? She was a particularly nasty person and being the wedding planner for her daughter’s wedding was not fun. Was it poison? Was it the food? Did the caterer do it?
Liked this book. Kept you reading, always wondering what would happen next. Very interesting book.
I read the entire story in one sitting. Unusual for me.
I liked this book. It was entertaining and funny. It was an easy read and I did enjoy it.
The characters are quite amusing and apparently reappear in the series
A very fun read. I enjoyed it. Great characters
A fun, easy read.
If you’ve ever attended, planned, or been in a wedding, you will love this mystery series! And if you’ve been to Washington, DC, even better! The characters are fun and really are based on people in the DC wedding industry. You will never think of weddings the same way!
I really enjoyed this book. It is fun, entertaining and funny. I really like the characters. They interesting and relatable. There are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing. Such a great book!
Wedding Belles is a terrific story of two young ladies with an up and coming business of wedding planning. Annabelle and Kate are complete opposites. Dealing with Bridezillas and Mother’s of the bride was a daily struggle. Add in a death in the middle of a wedding and things get sticky. While containing the disaster and calming the guests Annabelle and Kate decide to help solve this crime. This story is exciting and intriguing. The characters make sure you are engaged in the story. If cozy mysteries are something you like then this book is definitely for you.
So funny. I loved it!
This woman is unbelievable and I’m waiting for the climax of story where she confronts the killer. It did not disappoint and continued with the hilarity of Annabelle’s idiocy. This woman should never be let near a crime scene ever again. The weird chemistry between the detective and Annabelle should also left alone. It only encourages Annabelle to do stupid things. Her friends, Richard and Kate, are way too flighty and make for bad mojo in helping Annabelle keep herself under control. It’s a fun read and nothing in this book should ever be done or taken seriously.
This was a real page turner. I liked how the characters worked with each other about solving the murder. This held my interest; another good cozy mystery.
Annabelle Archer and her zany crew are at it again. They never fail to entertain me, make me laugh, and also wish that I had been the one to write that. Love the entire series and follow Laura Duram faithfully.
