The Falcon Always Wings Twice

Like all the books in this series by Donna Andrews there is lots of humour and intrigue plus a horde of zany characters as well as a murder to keep the reader guessing.

In this novel Meg and other family members assist her grandmother, Cordelia, run a Renaissance Faire at her craft centre near Biscuit Mountain. As part of the attractions Michael has organised a troupe of actors to perform for visitors throughout each day of the faire. Meg and her former teacher, with the assistance of her two sons, provide demonstrations in blacksmithing throughout the day when she isn't finding solutions if things do not quite go to plan. When one of the actors is found murdered in the nearby woods Meg is involved in assisting the police with their enquiries as well as trying to ensure that there is as little disruption to the faire as possible.

In The Falcon Always Wings Twice the featured bird is the falcon and we learn much about these birds when Meg's grandfather decides to assist the falconer. The Falcon Always Wings Twice is the 27th book in the Meg Langslow Mystery series. A good holiday read.
