Blog Tour and giveaway- Terror in Taffeta by Marla Cooper

I am excited to be part of Marla Cooper's blog tour. Her Debut  book Terror in Taffeta was released in March.Welcome Marla, I enjoyed this book.








Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: Minotaur Books (March 22, 2016)
Language: English


Wedding planner Kelsey McKenna is just a few hours away from wrapping up her latest job: a destination wedding in the charming, colonial Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. The reception is all set up, the tequila donkey is waiting outside, and the bride and groom are standing on the altar, pledging their eternal love. But just as the priest is about to pronounce them husband and wife, one of the bridesmaids upstages the couple by collapsing into a floral arrangement, a definite wedding “don’t.” Kelsey soon discovers that the girl hasn’t just fainted–she’s dead.


Losing a bridesmaid is bad enough, but when the bride’s sister is arrested for murder, the demanding mother of the bride insists that Kelsey fix the matter at once. And although Kelsey is pretty sure investigating a murder isn’t in her contract, crossing the well-connected Mrs. Abernathy could be a career-killer. Before she can leave Mexico and get back to planning weddings, Kelsey must deal with stubborn detectives, a rekindled romance, and late-night death threats in this smart, funny cozy mystery debut.


This is the debut book for the author and it was a fun, fresh new cast of characters and the story kept you wanting more. Wedding are always a fun time but when you add a murder things heat up and Kelsey McKenna gets a little more on her plate than wedding planner. With the death of a brides maid the wedding comes to a halt and the suspect list is long. I am looking forward to the next on in the series.
