Review: Terror in Taffeta

Terror in Taffeta by Marla Cooper
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

5 Star Review. This is the first time I’ve read anything by this author, and I’ll be reading more by her. This li’l cozy was a nice fresh of breath air!

Kelsey McKenna is a wedding planner, but just any wedding planner she plans for destination weddings. One thing I liked about the book was it was funny, I liked the character’s I was supposed to like, namely the main character of the book and Brody her friend that sometimes helps out with weddings. Kelsey is a little complex, but not to complex that it takes away from the story or annoys you. She is funny, strong, independent, and pretty smart.

The plot and characters were well thought out and developed. The storyline moved at a very quick pace, with twist, turns and surprises that will keep you guessing until the end. One thing that I felt needed just a little more of was some of the descriptions. I could almost see the places but there was just a little more that could have had me feeling like I was actually there. However I will say that I’m so glad that the author didn’t spend several pages describing every little thing. She had a story to tell and tell she did.

I do feel that this is a really good start to a new cozy series and I’m looking forward to the next book. One of the reasons I like to read is that it relaxes me and I couldn’t wait to come home from work and read this little gem! I can see this series being a hit as long as it doesn’t lose the humor that came with it.

All in all, I do recommend this book. There’s no sex, violence, or gory details, it’s just a story about a wedding designer who tells her story like she’s telling someone about her most recent trip and how she helped out with solving the crime like it’s no big deal.
