The Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews is a collection of light, humorous mysteries filled with wacky characters, puns, and family insanity. The 12th book in the series, Stork Raving Mad is not in the picture as I was unable to pry it out of the hands of one of the fans of the series.
The series is introduced by Murder with Peacocks, in which Meg Langslow, a blacksmith by trade, is roped into assisting in arranging three weddings over the summer. Her mother's, her best friend's, and her brother's. Wedding mayhem, a seamstress whose son had to take over for her because his mother broke her arm, brides who continually change their mind, and a father who wanders around "helping" arrange his ex-wife's second wedding are driving Meg nuts, when she finds the body of one of the guests. Further books in the series bring Meg's eccentric family further into the limelight. I highly recommend this series for anyone who enjoys humor in their books. I also recommend that these books be read in order, as the family actions frequently depend on what has happened in past books.
