Round up the usual peacocks

Meg's mother is busily organising the wedding for her son, Rob, with the assistance of the bride's mother and all the family members that she can convince to help her. Meg. of course, has a long list of things that her mother wants her to do but everything changes when her nephew, Kevin asks for Meg's assistance. 

Kevin and his friend, Casey, have started a podcast focussing on local cold cases. However when someone tries to unsuccesfully run down Casey in a car, Kevin is worried that they will try again. He asks for Meg's help to find the perpetrator. Meg's mother reluctantly agrees that Meg should help Kevin in order to avoid any drastic events at the upcoming wedding. Kevin has decided that three of the cold cases podcasts are the most likely to have caused someone to retaliate and he provides Meg with the transcripts as well as links to the actual podcasts.  

Meg's mother wants peacocks to feature in the gardens for the wedding but the family peacocks are molting so Meg is also assigned the task of borrowing some peacocks with feathers for the event. This creates a range of additional problems.

Much of the book involves Meg's investigation of three cold cases, with the assistance of friends, but events involving wedding preparations also feature in the book. Round up the usual peacocks by Donna Andrews is the thirty-first book in the Meg Langslow series and it does not disappoint. Meg's family is certainly not a conventional group of people and there are plenty of laughs for the reader.  Another enjoyable cosy mystery from Donna Andrews.
