Book Description:
An up-and-comer in the cutthroat world of Washington, D.C., wedding planning, Annabelle Archer always keeps her cool when dealing with hot-tempered bridezillas. The same can't be said for Carolyn Crabbe, D.C.'s grande dame of bridal blowouts, who takes the cake in the "Big Day Diva" category.

So Annabelle's shocked but not totally surprised when she finds the professional wedding world's reigning Queen of Mean strangled to death with a bridal veil in a hotel ballroom.

Unfortunately, Annabelle was seen arguing with the deceased just moments before her demise -- which makes the still-breathing wedding planner a prime suspect. But when a second industry pro is done in, Annabelle realizes she needs to unveil a killer and fast -- with an able assist from her fabulous best friend and caterer extraordinaire Richard -- before the life she loves and cherishes is abruptly cut short.

Washington D.C. wedding planner Annabelle Archer is horrified to discover the body of one of her fellow wedding planners, Carolyn Crabbe, dangling from a balcony in a hotel ballroom, suspended by a length of wedding veil tulle. Making matters even worse, the ballroom where Carolyn is discovered is to be the site of Annabelle's premiere wedding of the Christmas season and the wedding is planned to start in an hour! Annabelle and her party-planner friends become literally scared for their lives when their wedding planner colleagues start dropping like flies. Annabelle and her assistant Kate try to do some "information gathering" on their own, in order to find out who is out to kill the wedding planners of Washington D.C. The amateur sleuths in this story provide lots of entertainment as they try to solve this mystery.

Another fun read in this series -- great supporting characters and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the end.

The always funny wedding planner has two new murders to keep her busy. Always fun watching her work with Richard, her best friend and "caterer extraordinaire".

a wedding planner investigates murders of other wedding planners.

a few of the supporting characters are annoying; one misstates cliches, and I think the author was sort of clever at working them in.

I don't think it's a particularly great book, but it's an easy read.

Some of the "what is a wedding planner's job like" stuff is really stereotyped and superficial.
