Publisher's summary

In a world where ice sculptures turn deadly, it’s up to one wedding planner to keep DC's best chefs alive....

If there is one thing Annabelle Archer can’t stand, it’s a diva chef. But her career as a wedding planner to the elite socialites of DC has her dealing with plenty of them. When one such prima donna rubs her the wrong way, she's not completely surprised to find him impaled on his own ice sculpture....

After the hotel’s catering director begs the planner to clear her name, Annabelle seeks out the culinary criminal. With the clues stacking up against the catering director, the egg timer begins ticking down for her to find the true killer. Can Annabelle solve the mystery before she becomes the main course for a murderer?

For Better or Hearse is the second stand-alone audiobook in the Annabelle Archer cozy mystery series. If you like charming characters, funny capers, and fast-paced mysteries, then you’ll love Laura Durham’s Agatha Award-winning series!

Laugh-out-loud funny

I love this series. Very fun to read with quirky characters and laugh-out-loud funny moments. I just wish audible offered the rest of the series.

Birds of a feather flock to leather

Updated review: This is a fun series, but unless you can get them individually on sale like I did, go with the omnibus which offers all 3 books and the novella for 1 credit.

This is a delightful cozy mystery series with quirky characters and zippy narration. I especially enjoy bestie Kate and Annabelle’s distorted sayings like “out of the frying pan, into the fryer.” Unlike some cozies, this one doesn’t just avoid F-bombs; this series avoids all traditional cussing, opting instead for more creative utterances, like “jumping jubilee.” Wait for a sale, given the shorter length, but these provide fun, entertaining popcorn mysteries.
