Genre: Cozy Mystery
1. Better Off Wed (2005) : The murder of a particularly difficult mother-of-the-bride has cast a pall on wedding planner Annabelle Archer’s latest triumph — and suspicion falls heavily on her sometime-business partner and friend Richard Gerard. Annabelle knows that even her trusted wedding emergency kit won’t be able to salvage their careers if she and Richard can’t find the real culprit.
It’s no easy task since the slain matron was perhaps the most hated socialite in D.C., but Annabelle navigates through the city’s colorful wedding industry and powerful social scene on the deadly trail of a killer. Always the bridal consultant and never the bride, she’s seen her fair share of bouquet tosses. But there’s no telling what surprises a ruthless killer will throw her way if she gets too close.
2. For Better Or Hearse (2006) : 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.
3. To Love and to Perish (2007) : 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.
