review 1: This is the first of a new series.Presley is getting her business off the ground as a party planner. She was downsized at the university and her mother is in a care center with Alzheimers. She has had to downsize her lifestyle, but things are starting to look up when the Mayor has her throwning a combination fundraiser/surprise wedding for him and his fiance at Alcatraz. Everything seems to be going okay. Her help has it all set up, the guests have all arrived and everyone is just waiting for the lucky couple to arrive. They arrive, but its obvious they have been fighting. When the mayot says its a surprise wedding for them, the bride is furious and takes off. No one can find her so they assume that she's caught a boat back to the mainland... The next day there is ... morea couple of surprises in the wing. A lot of possible suspects, a new man across the hall & more. I want to see how this new series grows.
review 2: I bought the book and then read the reviews on Good Reads and thought, "I hope this will be okay and not a waste of my time...." I can happily say How to Host a Killer Party was a fun read and a great way to spend my afternoon. I thought that party planner, Presley Parker,was an entertaining main character, although I thought she brought up the fact that she had HDHD a few too many times. I loved the San Fran and Treasure Island references. Fun, yet believable. less

Cute story. The main character reminds me of Stephanie Plum (Janet Evanovich).
