Search - Murder with Peacocks (Meg Langslow, Bk 1)

This book (along with several others in the series) has been languishing on my over-full TBR pile for quite a long time, and now that I've finally read it, I'm sorry I took so long!

Meg Langslow has been pressed into service as Maid of Honor in three different weddings, and she's up to her eyeballs in wedding preparations for all three. When an out-of-town guest shows up dead, it's up to Meg to make sure the murder doesn't stand in the way of wedded bliss ...

I enjoyed Meg as a character. She is smart, strong and sassy. And she's surrounded by mad-cap neighbors and relatives. Although the summer as a whole was pretty much a comical farce, no one situation was so eye-rollingly unbelievable as to make me want to throw the book across the room (which happens oh-so-often when some authors try to write "comedy").

The writing style was quick and snappy ... with very visual descriptions, comfortable dialog, and enough "movement" to keep you from losing interest. I'm looking forward to my next adventure with Meg ....

This was a really fun and great 'read'. I see now, as I close the book, for I have just finished reading it, why it has won all the awards that it has. I will absolutely be wishing to follow Meg Langslow, the main character, in other books following in this series. This was the first book, I understand, of the series.

Absolutely hilarious book. The first of the Meg Langslow mysteries. Meg is a bridemaid at two weddings of which lots of antics and a body or two appear. Lots of laughs, a good fun read!

Loved this! The book arrived in yesterday's mail and I finished it at oh-dark hundred this morning. I'm putting in my request for book #2 today.

I rate the humor in this right up there with Piers Anthony's Xanth novels, sometimes subtle, sometimes nearly laughing-out-loud funny. Ms Andrews has a terrific ability to build characters.

This author is very, very funny. The characters are wild and a riot. Looking forward to the next in the series. Andrews has a distinct way with words and her main characters are ones to fall in love with. She has the comedy situation well in hand.

A very zany, funny cozy mystery, the kind I just love!! Plannin to get more from this author, that for sure.
