**Winner of the Agatha Award for Best First Novel!**Planning weddings can be murder. But stumbling across dead bodies usually isn’t on the itinerary. Can a wedding planner use her skills to discover who’s killing her clients?Society wedding planner Annabelle Archer is no stranger to wedding day stress, but a dead body at her latest fete takes the cake. When suspicion falls on her best friend and … best friend and caterer Richard Gerard, she knows she must find the real culprit before his career is ruined along with her reputation for solving problems. But it’s no easy feat since the slain mother-of-the-bride was the most hated socialite in the city.

One of the most enjoyable “whodunit’s” I’ve read. Right up there with Janet Evanovich.
Cute light read
. Exciting, funny, and a bit impractical, but great non-cop sleuthing. Great witty lines.
If you like silly, improbable plots, then this is the book for you.
I really enjoyed it
Love the writing. Gr at story
Good for a day at the beach or a rainy weekend “stuck in the house” kind of book.
Easy read, amusing. A fun read.
Good book to read, good story line, but unpredictable ending!
I laughed out loud a few times reading this book!
This was a fun book to read with lots of banter between characters.
I loved this book, the characters were real, I found myself laughing out loud; and best of all, I could not figure out who did it, I love a good mystery!!!
I’m not sure how great of a murder mystery this is, but I really enjoyed the writing style, the characters, the dialog, the descriptions, and the world-building. Clearly the author has really worked in the wedding planning industry and has a lot of great stories and eccentric characters to regale us with. A fun beach read.
Lots of fun. Reminds me of Stephanie Plumb!
This was a fun weekend read. The writing is good, the characters are witty. The plot was predictable and at times unrealistic (a wedding planner going to a funeral on the same day as a wedding? Not going to happen.) But in spite of that, it was a fun rainy-day book.
Easy to read, light, simple stereotypical characters. Fine if you want a relaxing read.
Nice new group of characters to get to know in future books in this series.This book was fun, light reading at a time when I needed it most after while mourning the loss of a loved one. I already put the second book on my Kindle to read when I need a break from real life issues.
Slightly ‘cutesy’, but a great plot. A nice quick read.
Really enjoyed reading this book!
Characters not believable in my opinion.
