Carnegie Kincaid is a wedding coordinator, who is just beginning to make her name, and so when she gets the job of arranging the wedding of Nicki Parry, the Parry’s being one of the most prominent Seattle families, Carnegie is determined to make it the wedding of the year, with the hope that a successful event will bring in more contracts.
It sounds quite fun doesn’t it to be in a job where everyone is geared towards a happy occasion, but then there is 265 pounds of Slavic fury, Boris, the mad Russian Florist, who having delivered and arranged his flowers, just never leaves, and best not move a single bloom of his arrangements. Always lurking, is silver-haired Dorothy Fenner, best-known wedding consultant in the Northwest, who is not too keen on a rival for the society weddings, and slipping quietly into the church for all weddings, homeless Crazy Mary, who loves wedding cake.
Whilst coping with Nicki Parry’s stepmother who has picked out the dress Nicki doesn’t want, and smoothing over various suppliers, Carnegie is plunged into murder: And why is someone now stalking her and trying to destroy her good name. Who can she trust? her partner who suddenly seems secretive, her new boyfriend, who seems too gorgeous to be true, or the annoying reporter that seems to turn up at inopportune moments.
This was a terrific read, great fun, a good mystery, and lots
of interesting characters with whom I look forward to spending time again. Highly
recommended
