Rating:  Summary: A whimsical and fun mystery Review: Murder with Peacocks is a whimsical and fun mystery. Never mind that these rich people have shallow lives and nothing more to bother with than the planning of three summer weddings. These characters are so likable and amusing that one hardly notices. Following the hectic summer of our heroine, Meg, is a joy to behold as she organizes the weddings despite a cast of eccentric family members, bizarre last minute demands by the brides to be, and, of course, attempted and actual murders. The fact that a murderer is on the loose is a mere inconvenience as the plans and the eventual weddings must go on - peacocks and all. Andrews gives us a real whodunit that's a lot of fun to read.

Rating:  Summary: Just a short recommendation Review: Last September I checked out MURDER WITH PEACOCKS at my local library and loved it. I ordered my own copy and decided to refresh my memory by reading it before I read CROUCHING BUZZARD, LEAPING LOON, which I got yesterday.Good thing I have a cold and I'm not going anywhere today. Even though I'd read it barely four months ago, I couldn't bring myself to put MURDER WITH PEACOCKS down until I finished it -- a minute or two before the clock chimed three (yes, in the morning).
