Do you like a good mystery that is also funny? If so, then I recommend Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow series. Meg is a blacksmith, the kind that does ornamental work, not the kind that shoes horses. In the first book "Murder with Peacocks" Meg returns to her home town to help prepare for three weddings, her mother's, her best friend's, and her brother's. She is the maid of honor at all three and all three brides are depending on her to keep their weddings on track. Not an easy job when the brides keep changing their minds about everything. Then to complicate things even more there is a death. Is it an accident or Murder?
With the help of Michael, the good looking guy who is running the wedding dress shop for his mother and unfortunately is uninterested in girls, Meg sets out to find out what happened. The mystery is good. The characters are wild and wacky. You will love Meg's family, all the while being glad they're not yours. This series will keep drawing you back I only to find out what Meg's family has got her into now.
Ms. Andrews has written a delightful series. All of these books stand alone but like most series reading them in order adds the joy of anticipation for the next one.
The series so far contains the following books. They are listed in the order written.
Murder with Peacocks
Murder with Puffins
Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos
Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon
We'll Always Have Parrots
Owls Well That Ends Well
No Nest for the Wicket
