| Plot Summary of Revenge of the Wrought Iron Flamingos |
"Meg Langslow, ornamental blacksmith and her boyfriend, Michael, along with their extended eccentric families are participating in a colonial era craft fair and re-enactment of the Battle of Yorktown. Meg hopes that her booth will be a huge success selling bayonets, buckles and pothooks. She also is delivering a set of modern ornamental lawn flamingos to a client at the fair. When a businessman who is embroiled in a dispute with Meg's brother is murdered with one of those same flamingos, Meg becomes the obvious suspect. Very humorous and light-hearted mystery."
Linda Sourpuss, Resident Scholar
