Murder With Peacocks
About Murder With Peacocks
Three Weddings... And a MurderSo far Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. Down in her small Virginia hometown, she's maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones--each of whom has dumped the planning in her capable hands.
One bride is set on including a Native American herbal purification ceremony, while another wants live peacocks on the lawn. Only help from the town's drop-dead gorgeous hunk, disappointingly rumored to be gay, keeps Meg afloat in a sea of dotty relatives and outrageous neighbors. And, in whirl of summer parties and picnics, Southern hospitality is strained to the limit by an offensive newcomer who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets.
But it seems this lady has offended one too many when she's found dead in suspicious circumstances, followed by a string of accidents--some fatal.
What readers say
Meg is maid of honor in three weddings in one summer when bodies start turning up, and readers love the funny narration, her eccentric family and the start of her romance with Michael. The most common complaint is a thin, guessable mystery buried under wedding chaos, along with a running gag some find overdone and a heroine who lets people walk over her. Many say it's a rougher start to a series they came to love.
Best for: Readers who prefer comedy and quirky characters over a tight puzzle.
