And she also manages to work in a murder mystery – or actually, three murder mysteries – along the way.Īs I mentioned in my review of the previous book in the series, Meg’s role in all this drama is as the “sane one”, and in Round Up, she’s sane enough to want to avoid getting roped into the ever-expanding preparations for her brother’s fast approaching wedding. The Meg Langslow series is one of a very few series that I have to read by myself, because I end up unexpectedly laughing out loud at least a couple of times in every book – and often more than a couple! And in Round Up the Usual Peacocks, author Donna Andrews does, as usual, a wonderful job of weaving together Meg’s offbeat family and friends, their odd assortment of jobs and hobbies, and their even odder collection of animals – including the titular peacocks (who happen to be cranky because they are molting), multiple llamas (also cranky from time to time), several chickens (who knows if they are cranky, but they sure can sound like it)…well, you get the idea. Peacocks and weddings and some not-so-cold crime…
