Laura Durham
Laura Durham is the Agatha Award-winning author of the Annabelle Archer wedding planner mystery series. Like her protagonist, she worked as a wedding planner in Washington, D.C. but (unlike Annabelle) she never came across any dead bodies at her weddings. Laura now lives in North Carolina with her husband (whom she met in the wedding biz), two children, two cats, and one dog. If she didn’t love writing so much, she would be the female version of Indiana Jones or work on the Starship Enterprise. It’s a toss-up.

The murder of a particularly difficult mother-of-the-bride has cast a pall on wedding planner Annabelle Archer’s latest triumph, and suspicion falls heavily on her sometime-business partner and friend Richard Gerard.
