Laura Durham "For Better or Hearse"

In her day job, Laura Durham is Washington, D.C.'s top wedding planner, but when she's not doing that, she's writing comic cozy mysteries. Her second one, called For Better or Hearse, revolves around the untimely demise of an odious Washington chef, who's been impaled on an ice sculpture during a reception at a posh hotel. And when her friend is unjustly accused, wedding planner Annabelle Archer recruits herself to find the killer.
