Veil of Night was so entertaining that I re-read some of my favorite passages after I finished the last page. Our heroine, Jaclyn Wilde, owns an event planning business with her mother. Most of their events happen to be weddings. Unfortunately, they have signed a contract with a bridezilla who is driving all of the vendors crazy. Then this nightmare of a person gets herself murdered shortly after slapping and firing Jaclyn in front of five witnesses. Now Jaclyn is a prime suspect. And the sexy detective investigating the case is the hunk that Jaclyn had a one-night stand with the night before the murder. To further complicate her life, Mom has overbooked their company and they are juggling six weddings (and six dress rehearsals) in a single week. Veil of Night is a fast, sexy, funny, suspenseful read and it kept me up way past my bedtime. I'll be checking out more Linda Howard books as soon as I return this one to the library.
