If you like charming characters, fast-paced comedy, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into the wild world of weddings, then you’ll love the latest installment in Laura Durham’s Agatha award-winning wedding planner mystery series. Death on the Aisle is the fifth book in the Annabelle Archer cozy mystery series. As the body count begins rising faster than the water level, Annabelle must stop the killer before they strike again, or risk having her career go down with the ship. When a dead body turns up floating in the Potomac River, Annabelle knows that all isn’t what it seems on board the luxurious yacht. Wedding planner extraordinaire Annabelle Archer and her zany team are used to working under challenging conditions, but a shipboard wedding during a torrential downpour makes all their past weddings look like a piece of cake. **Agatha Award-winning Series!**A society wedding on a client’s yacht could make Annabelle’s career. It careened onto the shoulder of the road, but the shoulder too was a sheet of ice. She turned the wheel into the skid but could not control the car. From the distance she saw headlights approaching. The car raced across the divider and spun around. "Oh.no!" She gripped the wheel frantically. The sudden increase in speed as she rounded the curve made the car fishtail on the sleet-covered road. "He didn't get away with it!" The memory of that reassurance distracted Katie now, made her press her foot harder on the accelerator. It would have been awful if he'd gotten away with it." And I keep thinking how frightened she must have been. Quietly she brushed them away as she said, "I miss Abby so. Her eyes, already moist and faded with age, filled with tears. "With his record, let's hope the judge decides to send him to prison for the rest of his life," Katie answered. I never would have thought you could, but when you talked, you proved every point you made them feel what he did to Abby. Miss Rawlings' sister, Margaret, was in court to hear the verdict and afterward had come up to Katie. But still she had managed to convince the jury that Teddy Copeland was the man who had viciously murdered eighty-year-old Abigail Rawlings during a robbery. The defendant's confession had been suppressed by the court, a major blow for the prosecution. Roy O'Connor was one of the top defense attorneys in New Jersey. If her mind had not been on the case she had won, Katie might not have taken the curve so fast, but the intense satisfaction of the guilty verdict was still absorbing her. “Miralee Ferrell writes intense, well thought out plots with beautiful description and characterization not to mention the perfect amount of tension. Walt Larimore, best-selling author of Hazel Creek and Sugar For A richly written story chock full of nuggets of divine wisdom, this book was, for me, a genuinely satisfying read.” “Miralee Ferrell’s Blowing on Dandelions is a deeply inspiring story about family conflict and the transforming power of rekindled love. Roxanne Rustand, author of Duty to Protect My only regret was reaching the final page! Miralee Ferrell’s future books will be an automatic purchase from now on!” Her characters are appealing, with a touching and believable faith journey, and the romance is lovely. Ferrell is a wonderful writer who handles the pain of physical and emotional trauma beautifully. Each of the characters is so sympathetic and well drawn that it was impossible to put the book down. “Blowing on Dandelions is an amazing, deeply emotional story. Hannah Alexander, award-winning author of the Hideaway Series Of course, the love story makes for a perfectly satisfying ending. I particularly love the redemption she shows, where not all offensive people are evil, but merely hurting. “In Blowing on Dandelions, Miralee Ferrell has an excellent way of keeping the words flowing, keeping the reader following, and investing in the characters. Her riffs on the classic "enemies to lovers" trope are as genuine as her characters themselves humor and slapstick repeatedly give way to tender, vulnerable moments between Vega and Leo (as well as some keen commentary on internalized homophobia). Chua's evocative visual storytelling is reminiscent of Naoko Takeuchi, with just a hint of Kohei Horikoshi elegantly composed, but full of cartoony dramatic fun. As Leo attempts to figure out how to make her "girlfriend" happy, the two develop an intimate bond, rediscovering old wounds from Vega's past and Leo's hidden fears. When standoffish Leo is tricked into forfeiting Bethany by the beautiful and mysterious transfer student Vega, Vega offers only one way to win it back: for Leo to date her for a week and prove she can play a "decent lesbian" (instead of simply playing hard to get). Though she's constantly pursued by a crowd of admirers, loner Leo loves only her bike, dubbed Bethany. In Chua's clever manga about the game of love, Leo is the most sought-after student at Princess Andromeda Academy, an all-girls' school only accessible by motorcycle. Debut author Michelle Harrison weaves an intricate mystery into a beautiful and haunting fantasy that captures a rich world of fairy lore where only the color red can offer protection.
