Meg Langslow has the dubious honor of being a bridesmaid in three weddings in a single summer. We quickly realize that each of the brides has probably selected very wisely when they chose Meg because she seems like the unofficial wedding planner getting all of the details done. Her best friend, Eileen, is scatterbrained and madly in love. Her brother's fiance, Samantha, loves to keep everyone on their toes. Lastly, her mother just loves giving orders and letting other follow through. After a typical madcap family gathering, Meg's the sister of her mother's fiance is found dead. Meg's father jumps right into the role of detective, but the body count is mounting and Meg and her friend, Micheal, are right in the thick of things.
I have heard people rave about Donna Andrews books for years but never got around to reading them. I thought they would be over-the-top like Stephanie Plum (whom I enjoy very much!). This story was delightful in so many ways. The family members were a hoot. Meg was funny and a delight. Best of all, was the story of poor Michael, who has been labeled as gay and is trying to get a chance to tell Meg that he is not.
