Veil of Night: A Novel [Hardcover]

I've finished "Veil of Night" by Linda Howard.

Product Description

Jaclyn Wilde is a wedding planner who loves her job — usually. But helping Carrie Edwards with her Big Day has been an unrelenting nightmare. Carrie is a bridezilla of mythic nastiness, a diva whose tantrums are just about as crazy as her demands. But the unpleasant task at hand turns seriously criminal when Carrie is brutally murdered and everyone involved with the ceremony is accusing one another of doing the deed.

The problem is, most everyone — from the cake maker and the florist to the wedding-gown retailer and the bridesmaids’ dressmaker — had his or her own reason for wanting the bride dead, including Jaclyn. And while those who felt Carrie’s wrath are now smiling at her demise, Jaclyn refuses to celebrate tragedy, especially since she finds herself in the shadow of suspicion.

Assigned to the case, Detective Eric Wilder finds that there’s too much evidence pointing toward too many suspects. Compounding his problems is Jaclyn, with whom he shared one deeply passionate night before Carrie’s death. Being a prime suspect means that Jaclyn is hands-off just when Eric would rather be hands-on. As the heat intensifies between Eric and Jaclyn, a cold-blooded murderer moves dangerously close. And this time the target is not a bride but one particularly irresistible wedding planner, unaware of a killer’s vow.

My Review:

Storyline:  The detectives have to find out who killed and why Carrie was killed.

Characters:   The characters were well written and it's like you might know them in real life.  Carrie was such a witch and I'm glad she was killed (it could happen to a nicer person)!

Romance:  You can feel the steam coming off the pages everytime Eric and Jaclyn in the same room.  Though I don't know how they fell in love because they didn't really get to know each other (never went on a date or talked about what their interests were, etc.)

Killer(s):  Eric had a suspicion who one of the killers was but didn't have any proof to prove it!
