Product Description:
Every year, Yorktown, Virginia, relives its role in the Revolutionary War by celebrating the anniversary of the British surrender in 1781. This year, plans include a re-enactment of the original battle and a colonial craft fair. Meg Langslow has returned to her home town for the festivities--and to sell her wrought-iron works of art. Except, of course, for the pink-painted flamingos she reluctantly made for her mother's best friend--she's hoping to deliver them secretly, so she won't get a reputation as "the blacksmith who makes those cute wrought-iron flamingos."
Besides, she has taken on another responsibility--making sure none of her fellow crafters ruin the historical authenticity of the fair with forbidden modern devices--like wrist watches, calculators, or cell phones. She's only doing it to keep peace with the mother of the man she loves. And Michael himself will don the white-and-gold uniform of a French officer for the re-enactment--what actor could resist a role like that?
Meg's also trying to keep her father from scaring too many tourists with his impersonation of an 18th century physician. And to prevent a snooping reporter from publishing any stories about local scandals. Not to mention saving her naive brother, Rob, from the clutches of a con man who might steal the computer game he has invented. It's a tough job--at least, until the swindler is found dead, slain in Meg's booth with one of her own wrought-iron creations.
Now Meg must add another item to her already lengthy to do list: "Don't forget to solve the murder!"
Fortunately, the more trouble Meg faces, the more fun the reader will have--and Meg faces plenty of trouble in this lighthearted and funny novel.

I am really enjoying Donna Andrews' "Meg Langslow Mysteries" because there is something for me to relate to in every one. In Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos Meg tackles the murder of a crooked game developer at a reenactment event in Virginia. While my own interests run to Renaissance Fairs over war reenactment, I was tickled by the emphasis on details such as the difference between corsets and stays, and how difficult it can be to snoop around in petticoats. Reading these books is just ... Read More

If you love Meg's mother's wacky friend and want to learn about more of Meg's artistic pieces that she creates. This is the one to go to. Finally, I get to see some of her finished pieces.

A continuation of the Meg Langslow series, "Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos" is another delightful read. Donna Andrews describes things so vividly that you can imagine what things are like in some of the Civil War reenactment camps. The characters are certainly characters! You can usually name someone you know who reminds you of each one in some way; the mischievous brother, the officious organizer, the gossipy family etc. I always look forward to the next book in the series upon completing ...
