I really liked this book -- the characters are very real and the subject matter is a little different from most of the other mysteries I've read. The only drawback is that I figured out the culprit (but that may be because I've been reading mysteries for 40 years!)

Third in the series. The titles are geting more creative, as are the settings and plots. This one takes place at a Civil War re-enactment in Meg's hometown and is filled with wild antics and crazy characters the way the last two were. This is quickly becoming my favorite series.

A relatively light hearted murder mystery. I was given this and mysteries aren't my favorite genre, so it's hard for me to say if it's all that good or not. I found it OK, but a few details in setting were off (I do some art shows and I worked in software for many years). Still, if light mystery is your thing, you might enjoy it.

If it weren't for the word "anachronism" being used approximately 500 times in this book (half of which are in the first few chapters) I would have loved it as much as I loved the first two in the series. Instead, I found myself being annoyed with the first half and laughing out loud while reading the second half.

Ornamental blacksmith Meg, her boyfriend, and their extended families have dressed up in costume for a reenactment of the siege of Yorktown, complete with cannons and crafts fair. Her father, a doctor, is running the first aid booth, and to serve as an educational tool, he has fixed it up to look like a medical tent of 1781, down to the last gory detail. Meg has some modern pink flamingos hidden under the counter, and when a murder is committed with one of them, she and her friends head the list of suspects.

Meg Langslow stumbles upon murders, and then is compelled to solve them.

She's surrounded by a town filled with very eccentric people (most of whom are related to her).

This is a fun addition to a series, and each book stands on its own. Not literally, you know, story-wise....

Okay, better than the 2nd book, but not nearly as funny and complicated as the first book. I am finding Meg very bossy and not so likable.

Book 3 of the Meg Langslow series finds ornamental blacksmith Meg and her boyfriend Michael participating in the reenactment of the siege of Yorktown in full period costume, and running a booth selling bayonets, buckles and other metalworks, including a dozen neon pink wrought-iron flamingos that Meg has stashed out of sight as they are not of the colonial period. But tensions and rivalries are simmering everywhere, and when an unscrupulous businessman is killed with a flamingo, Meg has to solve the mystery before the incompetent new homicide detective decides to pin the murder on her or one of her friends or family. Trying to expose a killer while avoiding Michael's mother who is in charge of the event and has made herself a terror browbeating everyone into maintaining the authenticity of the period makes an amusing and entertaining background for a solid mystery.
