3.5 stars - This series is entertaining. I’ll have to pause as I’ve read all my library has and that’s a bummer, it’s a very long series.
This one is set at a reenactment. I loved the crafters aspect as well as the military re-enactors. The murder had a lot of suspects and the new deputy is suspect himself. Overall really entertaining.

This series gets better as it goes along...my only complaint with this one is that it takes about 100 pages to get to the mystery, and the expository stuff isn't all that interesting.

Gosh, this cozy mystery series is just so eccentric and fun. Meg and Michael have been dating for a bit and now are at odds on how to proceed in their relationship—specifically how to spend more time together when they don’t live particularly close to one another. While they’re solving that issue, they’re participating in a Revolutionary War reenactment/craft fair, where Meg is selling her iron works. Unfortunately, there is some intellectual property thievery going on. Even worse, Meg’s most popular item may be the wrought iron flamingos she made for her mother’s friend and she may forever be tagged as the female iron worker who makes the adorable flamingos. The orders won’t stop coming in. This was adorably quirky, filled with hilarious characters, lots of period dressing, birds galore and a fun murder to solve. I can’t wait for the next book.
