内容説明
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.
著者について
Laura Durham has been named Washington, D.C.'s top wedding planner for the past three years by Washingtonian magazine, has been featured in numerous national wedding magazines, and is the author of a wedding planning guide. After graduating from Duke University and stumbling into wedding planning nearly ten years ago, she's lost count of the number of weddings she's planned. So far, though, no one has been murdered at any of them. She is the author of two previous mysteries featuring Annabelle Archer: Better Off Wed, which won the Agatha Award for Best First Novel, and For Better or Hearse.

アナベルはワシントンD.C.でかなり売れてきたウェディング・プランナー、式場・衣装・料理・招待状・音楽・写真家・ヘアドレッサー・リムジンから駐車場所確保まで結婚式に関する一切合切と、結婚式前に神経の高ぶる花嫁の相談役まで引き受ける。週60時間労働ではデートの暇もない。
さて、今回手がけるエリザベス・ピアスの結婚式はかなり盛大なもの、成功させれば社交界の大がかりな結婚ビジネスに参入するチャンスとなりそうだが．．結婚式途中で花嫁の母親が死体で発見された。毒殺だったためアナベルの親友でもある料理人リチャードに嫌疑がかかり営業停止をくらう。リチャードの容疑を晴らすためにアナベルは真犯人探しに乗り出すが、殺されたピアス夫人は社交界の嫌われ者だったから容疑者を絞るのは容易ではない．．そして第2の殺人が．．．
セクシーでモテモテな、アナベルの助手ケイトやありきたりが嫌いでおしゃれなリチャード、アパートのお節介な隣人で探偵ごっこ大好きな老婦人リートリスその他アナベルの仲間達の会話はてきぱきとユーモラス。省略の多い会話は書き言葉ばかり読んできた人にはピンと来ないところがあるかも知れませんが、英語としてはやさしいので慣れれば分かるようになって来るはずです。

A Great First Novel
2005/3/28
形式:マスマーケット
What a wonderful first novel! It was witty, fun and hard to put down (I read it in two days). I laughed out loud many times as I followed wedding planner Annabelle Archer through her life as wedding planner and amateur sleuth. Add in her colorful sidekicks, Kate and Richard, and her quirky neighbor Leatrice, and this new series is a winner. Of course, no cozy would be complete without a hunky cop and Laura doesn't let us down with Detective Reese. I'm really looking forward to the next in the series.

Delightful Debut of a Wedding Planner Turned Sleuth
2005/8/14
形式:マスマーケット
"Better Off Wed" introduces the delightful character of Annabelle Archer, a Washington D.C. wedding planner. In this debut mystery, Annabelle is stunned to find the body of the mother-of-the bride at her daughter's wedding reception. The police quickly determine that the curmudgeonly Mrs. Pierce was poisoned, and Annabelle's friend and caterer, Richard, becomes the prime suspect. The bossy Mrs. Pierce was universally despised in Washington society, though, so Annabelle and Richard, along with Annabelle's assistant Kate and nosy neighbor Leatrice go to work to find the real murderer and clear Richard's name.
The characters in this story were wonderful and funny. In addition to Annabelle, Richard, Kate, and Leatrice, I really enjoyed the secondary character of Fern the hairdresser. Annabelle and crew pay a visit at Fern's shop to get the lowdown on the latest gossip. I also thoroughly enjoyed the background of the wedding planning industry, and I found the excesses of the society weddings amazing and amusing.
The solution to the mystery was a bit hurried at the end. I look forward to the second story in this series, and I hope that all the great characters will be back.
