Book Description:
Wedding planner extraordinaire Annabelle Archer is used to dealing with difficult personalities -- neurotic brides, despotic mothers, and prima donna bridesmaids. However, being chased from a swank hotel kitchen at knifepoint by a shrieking Chef Henri takes the cake. Soon after, Washington's most thoroughly despised culinary artist is discovered dead, impaled on an ice sculpture -- a crime which surprises no one, since revenge is, after all, a dish best served cold.
Unfortunately, the police think the hotel's sometimes temperamental but always stylish catering exec (and Annabelle's good friend) Georgia Rhodes did Henri in -- so the planner and her posse set out to put the real murderer on ice. But when the corpse of a rival culinarian turns up in a walk-in freezer -- and more nasty chef-deaths quickly follow -- the suspect list suddenly shrinks . . . as do Annabelle and her cronies' chances for survival, if they get caught poking around in a killer's kitchen.

A great little book. I particulary enjoyed the scene set in a real Georgetown restaurant in which I have dined. Too bad the author didn't describe the bathroom there - as it was something I will always remember...unusual and interesting.

This second book in the series is just as funny as the first. The supporting characters are delightful! I hope the third book isn't too far in the future.

Teri G. (I just finished For Better Or Hearse...and loved it! Seriously laugh out loud. I was looking for a new author that would rank up with my favorite Janet Evanovich...and I found her in Laura Durham. Wonderfully written, story line paced along nicely, and the supporting characters are fabulous in their eccentricities. The murder plot was well delivered as I didn't actually guess the real culprit til near the end of the book. I would highly recommend this book to those who are looking for a mystery that is upbeat, hilarious, mildly romantic, fantastic characters and wanting a look into the wild world of wedding planners. Awesome. Kudos to the author...I plan on getting the other books in this series immediately.
