Weddings are murder. Trust me, I was a wedding planner for 25 years and, boy, do I have the stories to prove it! I was inspired to write the Annabelle Archer mystery series because of an overwhelming desire to kill a particularly unpleasant Mother-of-the-Bride, or MOB. Realizing that actually doing the deed would be bad for business, I settled for writing murder instead. The resulting fictionalized expose of the Washington wedding industry has been called "the perfect mixture of mirth and murder." BETTER OFF WED won the Agatha Award for Best First Novel.

The real-life antics of my colleagues and clients continue to inspire my writing but no longer plan weddings so I can write more books. Thanks for reading!

Cheers!

Laura Durham

I really enjoyed reading this story. The characters were perfect, as usual, and the storyline was wonderful. I loved it. I’m so glad Prue, Merry, Mack and Buster got everything worked out. A really beautiful storyline for a cozy. Very enjoyable and fun

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's Mama?
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2022

A young baby is dropped off outside a biker church and Mack and Buster fall immediately in love with her. Both refusing to turn her over to Social Services. Annabelle agrees to look for the mother before turning her over.

In the meantime, repeat wedding givers are causing their usual havoc. The bride has allowed them free hand, is now in town, and has let it be known if anything Christmassy shows up at the wedding or reception, she is gone.

Can the amateur detective solve the baby mama mystery as well as "fix" the wedding and get a Christmas party together for staff and friends? It is a fun read with characters you fully believe.

Merry Christmas.

This may be my first Laura Durham read, but it won't be my last. I loved the characters, and each one was drawn so well that I would recognize them them if they appeared in my living room. I'm not that familiar with DC, so I can't vouch for the accuracy of the settings, but the plot doesn't feel contrived. A heart warming read for any season.

This series is so much fun. I love the core cast of characters and their quirks. This one was fun looking for the mother of the baby that got dropped off at the biker church. No murder this time but a very good mystery.

I believe I have gained 20 pounds just from reading all the wonderful food described in the story. There was not one typo that I found, this is by far the best gramaticaly presented story I've read in ages. Thank you.

I loved Marry and Bright by Laura Durham. I always enjoy the books in the Annabelle Archer series but let's face it. Some of the humor is way over the top. We still get those roll-on-the-floor moments but the focus is on the search for the mother of a baby left on the steps of the church attended by our two favorite Harley riders/florists. The portrayal of bikers who stand for the innocent is beautiful. Annabelle and her friends get to see other reformed riders as well as always-good-guy bikers as they ride side by side to stand for fallen soldiers and their families. The feel of the holidays is woven though this heartwarming Christmas novella.

This is my first Annabelle Archer book, but it won't be the last. You are introduced to an interesting and quirky group of friends and coworkers. Annabelle is a wedding planner and known for getting involved in police matters. This time her biker buddy florists find a baby, Merry, left on the steps of their biker church. They want her to find the mother before they have to turn the baby over to Social Services. Meet her right hand Kate, cop boyfriend Reece and her best friend Richard. I especially enjoyed her neighbor Letrice, who was literally wearing a Christmas tree skirt. This has peeked my interest in to reading other AA full length novels.

What a fantastic quick read from Laura Durham.
A biker church, an abandoned baby, and poor Richard being left out of the service providers of the year list... what a way to start the Christmas Season for Annabelle, Kate, and the gang.

Lovely recipes for Pepper Jelly Palmiers and a Cherry Walnut Brie included...
Yummy!!!
