It’s Christmastime in Washington, D.C. but a heat wave has made the city a little crazy. Annabelle and her Wedding Belles crew is busily getting ready for several holiday weddings and parties but when a Georgetown icon goes missing, it’s all hands on deck to solve the mystery. Unfortunately, a rival wedding planner is causing additional problems for the gang and vigilantes seem to be taking over Georgetown. I love the quirky characters that make up Annabelle’s close knit group and I especially love her curious nature and her inability to stay out of crime solving. Her fiancé, a local detective, is a lovable supporting and stabling force for them all. I love this series and I highly recommend this book especially if you love Christmas cozies.

For wedding planners who don’t plan general events, after Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day is a down time. Time to get all your wedding wear repaired and polished; time for vacations, time to add holiday surcharges for the few events that did take place.
Somehow Annabelle managed to get booked into an holiday season wedding and her own engagement party in the same weekend. Especially crazy, since caterers and florists have insane schedules thru the new year, limited supplies and staff, as well as serious extra fees for any additions or changes.
Throw in a missing a Santa, and some supposed to be good guys behaving badly, and the season is even crazier.
Can’t wait until she finally walks down the aisle herself!
Fun and Santa-tastic read!

FEWER CORPSES BUT EXTRA SUSPENSE
In her latest Wedding-Planner mystery, Laura Durham ops for a slightly gentler plot without multiple murders. Instead, she supplies intriguing questions that force the reader to happily keep turning the pages. Someone is aiding the police by repeatedly catching criminals in the act, tying them up, dressing them in Santa hats, and notifying the authorities. But who and why? The author keeps us wondering until the very end. As with all Durham’s books, CLAUS FOR CELEBRATION features wacky but believable characters, memorably funny dialogue, and fast moving, colorful narrative. This sparkling addition to the series is a perfect holiday read but actually they all are due to the light touch and abundant humor. As usual, I’m eagerly awaiting the next volume.
As with the rest of the books in Laura Durham’s Wedding Belles series, this one hits the mark. Her memorable cast of characters is here in all their quirkiness. I enjoy watching them develop and interact. The plot of this one is clever, and the writing is smart and funny. I can’t wait for the next one to see if we have one wedding or a double ceremony, which probably would drive the whole crew completely over the top. Enjoy this holiday romp.
Only Annabelle Archer can remain so calm amid wedding and engagement party chaos in an unusually warm December. Perhaps because she’s surrounded by very talented people who are her best friends. I love these books because there is so much humor and despite the glitz and glamour Annabelle is such a down to earth person. The story is well written and the characters are people I really want to know. It definitely kept my attention to the very end.

Annabelle has overbooked her holiday down time, and is feeling stressed. However, her life becomes more complicated by spiteful sabotage and the suspicious disappearance of the neighborhood’s favorite singing Santa. Claus for Celebration is an excellent holiday escape I recommend.

So much fun celebrating the holidays with old friends. Can’t wait to see what happens next!
The wedding Belles crew is at it again. Vigilante Santas and vengeful rivals. In the midst of an unexpectedly busy holiday season, Annabelle and her crew are being sabotaged at every turn. Between that and trying to find a missing Santa, this holiday installment is as fun and sweet as ever.

I really enjoyed Claus for Celebration. This is a fantastic Christmas mystery. It is fun and interesting. I love the quirky characters and the crazy, exciting adventures that they get caught up in. The mystery is interesting and has so many twists. This is a great festive Christmas story.
Brilliant! My favorite holiday book this year. The crew is back in all their seasonal eccentricity.
It is a few weeks before Christmas, D.C. is experiencing a heat wave, and Santa goes missing. A beloved street performer, Kris Kringle Jingle, goes missing and his suit is found covered in blood. Reese is busy investigating a rash of crimes and criminals are being caught by vigilante Santas. Annabelle and Kate are unusually busy at this time of year planning a few weddings and preparing for Annabelle and Reese’s engagement party. Someone is sabotaging their winter wonderland wedding and the ladies need to get to the bottom of it. Typical day at Wedding Belles.

I love this series! Another adventure for Annabelle and the gang – find Santa or Christmas will be ruined! The author has a descriptive style of writing that I really like as it helps me visualize the people and places in my mind’s eye. A great cast of quirky characters – what’s not to love about pretentious Richard or prissy Fern? Don’t miss out on this series – it is a real treat!
Another Annabelle wedding adventure! Comical, witty, just very entertaining! Can be read as an independent book but starting at the beginning will definitely allow you to see the characters grow. A wonderful way to help you get in the holiday spirit!
