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.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBesides, 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? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeg'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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow Meg must add another item to her already lengthy to do list: \"Don't forget to solve the murder!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFortunately, the more trouble Meg faces, the more fun the reader will have--and Meg faces plenty of trouble in this lighthearted and funny novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonna Andrews\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the Meg Langslow mysteries, including \u003ci\u003eMurder with Peacocks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSwan for the Money\u003c\/i\u003e.
