Veil of Night by Linda Howard

This is Howard's best yet! Jaclyn Wilde, wedding planner, is stressed out. Six weddings planned for five days and an appointment with the bride to be from hell, Carrie Edwards. Already running late, she hurries to the City Hall to pay a speeding ticket physically running into Detective Wilder on her way out. When meeting with Jaclyn and some of the vendors, Carrie fires Jaclyn who ushers the vendors from the reception hall and leaves. In the meantime, someone skewers Ms Edwards to death. Miss Personality she was not and possible murderers abound. Eric Wilder is assigned to the case, but reluctantly because Jaclyn has become a love interest and he needs to do his job correctly. Howard does a superb job of story-telling, keeping the reader's interest throughout. Great read. Sandy Penton.
