Let it crow! Let it crow! Let it crow!

Another fun Christmas themed read by Donna Andrews. In Let it Crow! Let it Crow! Let it Crow! Meg Langslow ends up competing in a reality television program, Blades of Glory, after her friend and mentor, Faulk, had been attacked and injured. The series is being filmed in a large tent at Ragnar's gothic style mansion. Meg, Michael and the twins have moved into the house along with most of the others associated with the program. Then the body of one of the contestants is found in a field. Chief Burke and his team work on the case, occasionally calling on Meg for assistance.

This is number 34 in the Meg Langslow series and much of the action is concerned with the blade making  television program. Meg has the opportunity to work at blacksmithing, (she is a blacksmith), but still has time to help with the investigation. Crows are also the stars of the book, observing the activities of the guests on the property and even helping from time to time. The novel also provides an insight into the making of reality television programs. Then just before Christmas it finally starts to snow, adding to the Christmas atmosphere in this American cosy crime story.
