“Intriguing and downright delightful, Durham’s latest will have you in stitches...” (Romantic Times BOOKclub )
Product Description
Everyone knows that planning a wedding can be murder, but when top D.C. wedding planner Annabelle Archer finds an old nemesis hanging by a bridal veil in a hotel ballroom, she's shocked to discover that wedding planners can be murdered as well! Carolyn McCrabe was D.C.'s grande dame of wedding planning and made more than a few enemies in her day, but because many of the hotel staff saw Carolyn and Annabelle arguing only minutes before the aging diva's demise, Annabelle is immediately pegged as the prime suspect. Determined to shake the suspicion from their beloved colleague and friend, Annabelle's flirtatious assistant Kate, flamboyant caterer Richard, and the always–fabulous hairdresser Fern team up to investigate other suspects. But when another wedding planner is found murdered––strangled by a curling iron cord at an industry party––Annabelle realizes that she might not only be a suspect, but a crazed killer's next victim as well.

Kill the Weaknesses, April 23 2007
By A Reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Love And To Perish: An Annabelle Archer Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
As with the previous book in this series, I started out loving it and was much less enthused as the book went on.
With so many wedding planner series starting to pop up, the author really needs to kill the two most annoying parts of the series if she wants it to be successful and stand out from the others:
1) Kate messing up her cliches. It got annoying after about the third time, and was even more annoying being used to end chapters so that it stuck out even more. No one is this stupid as to mess up every single cliche there is. This gimmick is old and tired already.
2) Leatrice. This character adds nothing to the stories, and the main character can't even stand her. There's nothing the least bit amusing or entertaining about a nosy buttinsky who walks around in growling slippers and light-up sweatshirts.

Who is Killing the Wedding Planners of D.C.?, Feb 12 2007
By L. Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Love And To Perish: An Annabelle Archer Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
Washington D.C. wedding planner Annabelle Archer is horrified to discover the body of one of her fellow wedding planners, Carolyn Crabbe, dangling from a balcony in a hotel ballroom, suspended by a length of wedding veil tulle. Making matters even worse, the ballroom where Carolyn is discovered is to be the site of Annabelle's premiere wedding of the Christmas season and the wedding is planned to start in an hour! Annabelle and her party-planner friends become literally scared for their lives when their wedding planner colleagues start dropping like flies. Annabelle and her assistant Kate try to do some "information gathering" on their own, in order to find out who is out to kill the wedding planners of Washington D.C. The amateur sleuths in this story provide lots of entertainment as they try to solve this mystery.
With tongue firmly in cheek, author Laura Durham takes the reader through some of the craziest society weddings ever imaginable. I laughed out loud at the image of a wedding reception complete with "miniature ponies" wandering through it! One of the pleasures of this series is the outlandish details of the weddings planned by Annabelle, details that are so bizarre that they could only be based on real-life weddings that author Durham has planned.
"To Love and To Perish" continues the entertaining cozy mysteries brought to us by Durham in the first two books in the series. I highly recommend this book to all readers of cozy mysteries.

Well-Done Book, April 8 2010
By Andrea "Readaholic" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: To Love And To Perish: An Annabelle Archer Mystery (Mass Market Paperback)
A reasonable wedding planner (Annabelle, the main character) with a spunky, energetic, bouncy, fashionable assistant (Kate). The other characters are just as interesting - the caterer (Richard), the hairdresser (Fern), and the eccentric neighbor (Leatrice). The characters are well-developed; I enjoyed their humorous attitudes/personalities. This whole book was good and fun - the characters and the story line. And I actually liked Kate in this book. (Her messed-up sayings were kept to a minimum in this book.)
Wedding planner(s) is/are being murdered. Will Annabelle and Kate be next? That's a good reason to be on your toes! Annabelle needs to solve the mystery or else she might be next . . .
Location: Washington D.C.
This is the third (and I think last) book of this Annabelle Archer Wedding Planner series. All three books are really good. If you like wedding planner books with a touch of humor and fun, then I would recommend this series.
