Buried in Buttercream by G. A. McKevett is the 17th
book in the “Savannah Reid” mystery series. Publisher: Kensington, March 2012
After a recent brush with death,
plus-sized P.I. and bride-to-be Savannah Reid has decided to stop sweating the
small stuff. But when an event planner comes in to arrange her wedding,
Savannah discovers that murder can ruin even the best laid plans.
Hailed as the wedding planner to the stars, Madeline Aberson
has orchestrated some of the most exclusive soirees in Hollywood. But when
Madeline becomes embroiled in a nasty divorce, her life falls apart, and rumors
swirl that her parties have become total duds. Desperate for work, Madeline
finds herself planning far less glamorous affairs, including none other than
Savannah Reid’s wedding to Dirk Coulter. It doesn’t take long
for the opinionated Madeline to get on Savannah’s last nerve, and when the big
day finally arrives, Savannah can’t wait to send Madeline packing. But when the
bride finds Madeline’s body face down in the pool, floating among an elegant
array of rose petals, it’s clear that someone has already hastened the diva’s
departure. For better or for worse Savannah and Dirk put their wedding on hold,
vowing instead to find out who killed Madeline and why.
All Dirk and Savannah wanted to do was get married, but
multiple interruptions interfered with their wedded bliss. Capturing an
arsonist would prove to be easy but finding the person who murdered their
wedding planner took us on an outing of pure delight. What a fun ride that I
did not want to get off. The adventures, the laughter, the worries, the camaraderie
and the search for a killer kept me guessing in this exciting and amusing
whodunit. A great cast including the eccentric and quirky Reid family and witty
and at times hilarious dialogue made this one of the best book in this
wonderfully charming and entertaining series.
