Carnegie Kincaid is a wedding planner. Trying to promote her local Seattle business, her TV spot is upstaged by a French hunk, Beau Paliere, who manages upscale weddings. Carnegiešs style comes off as being dull, unattractive and second-rate.

This is only one of her problematic challenges. At the bachelor party of one of her clients, the best man is murdered. Following a performance by a Santa stripper, one man is dead. Unfortunately, Carnegiešs best friendšs brother is accused of the murder. He is an alcoholic who has fallen off the wagon. This strains the relationship between the two friends because Carnegie needs to give information which hurts the accused.

Rest assured, not all is doom and gloom. A redeeming factor is to have the mother of the bride be Ivy Tyler. Wealthy and very intelligent, Ivy brainstormed the business venture entitled Meet For Coffee, which is giving Starbucks some stiff competition. For coffee lovers, this story may hold an additional charm. Ivyšs world shows us a glimpse of an ailing husband and a snotty spoiled daughter. It also demonstrates the posh world of this family.

The characters in this story are unpredictable. Just when you think you know what the game plan is, one more secret is revealed. This also holds true with Carnegiešs love interest, Aaron Gold. If you experience the story as I did, you will not know the whole story until the end of the book. It did keep me guessing.

The first and second books in the wedding planner mystery series are VEILED THREATS and DIED TO MATCH.
