About this listen

  
Jaclyn Wilde is a wedding planner who loves her job—usually. But helping Carrie Edwards with her Big Day has been an unrelenting nightmare. Carrie is a bridezilla of mythic nastiness, a diva whose tantrums are just about as crazy as her demands. But the unpleasant task at hand turns seriously criminal when Carrie is brutally murdered and everyone involved with the ceremony is accusing one another of doing the deed.

The problem is, most everyone—from the cake maker and the florist to the wedding-gown retailer and the bridesmaids’ dressmaker—had his or her own reason for wanting the bride dead, including Jaclyn. And while those who felt Carrie’s wrath are now smiling at her demise, Jaclyn refuses to celebrate tragedy, especially since she finds herself in the shadow of suspicion.

 
Assigned to the case, Detective Eric Wilder finds that there’s too much evidence pointing toward too many suspects. Compounding his problems is Jaclyn, with whom he shared one deeply passionate night before Carrie’s death. Being a prime suspect means that Jaclyn is hands-off just when Eric would rather be hands-on. As the heat intensifies between Eric and Jaclyn, a cold-blooded murderer moves dangerously close. And this time the target is not a bride but one particularly irresistible wedding planner, unaware of a killer’s vow.

Funny and quick witted. Well written and the narrator was believable. Ordering coffee and yee-ha weddings were never so funny. Enjoy !!!!

I read this on kindle several years ago and I enjoyed the audio book just as much. The murder of a “bridezilla” is complicated by the fact that the wedding planner and the cop investigating the murder had a one night stand the night before the murder. The side characters all had distinct personalities which adds to the interest and although the murder was not too tough to solve, the developing push/pull relationship between the H and h was absorbing

A little dated, but a good read

A Good read. Obvious ending, not as imaginative as previous Linda Howard’s but entertaining overall.
