BETTER OFF WED (Laura Durham)

This is a cute series, not meant for serious mystery buffs but, rather, for readers looking for a fun, light experience.  Annabelle Archer, the main character, is a wedding planner who becomes involved in crime-solving when the mother-of-the bride is murdered at a wedding reception that she has planned, making her a suspect.  Aided by her close friend, Richard, the caterer who is also a prime suspect in the case, and her grammar-challenged assistant, Annabelle sets out to discover who is responsible for poisoning the overbearing woman.  Since Annabelle and Richard are also present when another suspicious death occurs they are desperate to solve the crimes and save their own businesses.

This series is may be "cute," but the mystery is very well done.  Maybe I'm just not that bright, but I was pretty surprised by the ending!  If you are looking for a relaxing way to spend a weekend, this might be a great way to do it.
