  <default-description>Three Weddings...And a Murder

So 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. Soon, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer--before the next catered event is her own funeral...</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was okay. I read it because I've read all in her second series that starts with &quot;You've Got Murder,&quot; and plan on continuing to read those.<br/><br/>After Peacocks, I read the next in the series, Murder with Puffins, and between the two of them, just wasn't motivated to continue...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58002068">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[OK, I won't lie to you....I picked this one up because it was $3.99! LOL I try to try new authors out when their books are on sale, because I don't know what I'm getting. <br/>I am glad I picked this one up though. It was definitely different, but very entertaining. Quirky and funny characters and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42478093">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I started this series in the middle, something I don't usually do.  And it is a thoroughly wonderful series.  The protagonist, Meg, is a reluctant sleuth, her real avocation being blacksmithing.  Really, she's a blacksmith.  That alone would have kept me reading the series but it's also well-written...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/74867751">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[My mom recommended this series to me, and I really enjoyed this first book.  The mystery was engaging, and I loved the characters.  I particularly enjoyed that the main character would talk about all the bizarre things that her family did, but would do so in a totally matter-of-fact way.

The characters are my favorite kind - quirky but charming. I loved the witty sense of humor and laughed aloud many many times. A great read.]]></body>
