In this 15th book in the 'Meg Langslow' series, the multitasking blacksmith/amateur sleuth investigates vandalism and murder at the fair.
The book can be read as a standalone.
*****
The town of Caerphilly, Virginia is hosting a fair and Meg Langslow - blacksmith, wife, mother of toddler twins, and hobbyist farmer - is assistant director. Amidst preparations for opening day a vandal targets the fair and valuable chickens are stolen;
A prize-worthy pumpkin is smashed;
And a beautiful quilt is sullied. Soon afterward a straying husband is shot dead.
The Caerphilly cops reluctantly team up with neighboring Clay cops to solve the crime and, of course, Meg helps investigate as well.
I enjoyed this humorous, cozy mystery and learned something about heirloom species of animals as well. A good light read.
Rating: 3 stars
