Murder With Peacocks is the first book in Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow series. Meg Langslow is a practical, organized blacksmith who is taking the summer off to be the maid of honor for not one but three weddings in the small town where she grew up. The three brides (her best friend, her brother's fiancee, and her mom) have dumped all of the planning for the big events into her lap. Luckily for Meg, Michael Waterston, the son of the local dressmaker, is managing his mother's shop for the summer an appears time after time to assist her with all sorts of craziness. If balancing three weddings and dealing with her crazy family wasn't enough, the sister-in-law of her mom's fiancee is found murdered. Then accident after accident designed to kill either Meg or her father follows, and Meg has to balance three weddings and a murder investigation while trying to survive.
This delightful mystery is well written, packed with humor, and sprinkled with a bit of romance. I look for to enjoying more books by this author. 4 stars
