Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm back and ready to read. One of my all-time favorite cozy series is the Meg Langslow mysteries by Donna Andrews and she just released "Some Like It Hawk", so I've decided to go to the beginning with this post.
Meet Meg Langslow, decorative blacksmith and maid of honor for 3 weddings this summer. Who knew murder was also on the calendar!
After putting her life on hold for the summer, Meg Langslow heads home to Yorktown, Virginia. Once home, she begins juggling planning chores for the 3 weddings she has ended up being a part of. Her best friend, Eileen (the flighty one), her future sister-in-law, Samantha (the bridezilla) and her mother, Margaret (the unexpected bride) have all scheduled their nuptials for this summer. Between dealing with finding peacocks to decorate the venue for Samantha, discovering Eileen never selected either her wedding gown or the bridesmaids dresses (the wedding is in 54 days), and her mother's decision to select the perfect blue to redecorate with, Meg really doesn't have time to deal with the murder of her mother's fiance's sister-in-law from his first marriage. But when suspicious incidents begin to occur that seem to be aimed at her father, she has no choice but to discover what happened.
Donna Andrews has created a wonderful group of characters that I just can't get enough of. If I've read the Meg Langslow books once, I've read them a dozen times. The dialogue is fun, the characters have depths that are still being shown in the 14th novel "Some Like It Hawk". This is definitely a series to love.
