Meg Langslow Mysteries

De: Donna Andrews

Narrado por: Bernadette Dunne

"Dunne channels Meg effectively, helping listeners envision all the action of the audiobook" —AudioFile on Gift of the Magpie (Earphones Award Winner)

'Tis the season for sleuthing in Donna Andrews' cheery new addition to the New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow series.

Meg has been roped into participating in a weaponsmithing competition, a Forged in Fire wannabe organized by a blacksmith friend. Meg originally turned down an invitation to participate, but the night before the filming starts, someone attacks Faulk, her blacksmithing mentor, breaking his arm and eliminating him from the contest before it begins. Meg agrees to step in as his replacement to keep the project from failing. She's not thrilled that the filming will take place during December—Christmas is already a crazy time for her. Since the competition is taking place on Ragnarshjem, the picturesque estate that her friend Ragnar, the retired heavy metal drummer, is turning into a Goth castle, Meg won’t have to spend Christmas alone and gets to bring Michael and her twin sons with her.

So Meg joins the cast, to the dismay of several old-school blacksmiths who think women have no place in the profession anyway. And if the show's producers were hoping for drama, they're in luck. The blacksmithing world is a small one, and some of the contestants arrived already laden with grudges and feuds.

It's a high-stakes, cutthroat competition between people who wield large hammers and make swords and have forges full of fire at their disposal. What could possibly go wrong?

Reality TV finds Caerphilly!

We get to know Ragnar’s Castle for Christmas.

Blades of Glory is filming at the castle and Meg is helping out.

Things start to go wrong and Meg is very distracted by the TV show.

So much fun!

Just loved it!

I love all of the books and love Bernadette Dunn as narrator. It especially makes my holidays happier when a new story comes out in time for Christmas. Looking forward to many more books. You Go Girl!!!

Fun

I really enjoyed this book. Great companion while cooking in Christmas. It was very entertaining.

I enjoyed having fresh characters, and also reading about old friends.

I liked the storyline. It was intriguing, and, having taken a blacksmithing course, the accuracy of it all.

Great book

Enjoyed the book as usual. Cannot w add it got the next one !!
Thank you

I have to CROW

This book in the series is really something to crow about!! I always enjoy the animal facts and the twists and turns are fun! I love that Meg represents for women!!

Excellent series continues!

I have greatly enjoyed this series. I like the suspense; the family and friends interaction; and they always make me smile!

Cozy holiday

Donna Andrew’s holiday editions are always so pleasant and lighthearted to read. The descriptions she gives of the decorations, food and activities almost makes me feel like I’m right there. This book as usual did not disappoint, I love the suspense in them too!

Meg Langslow is Surrounded by Unlikable Characters

4.5 stars
The first chapter or so we are introduced to some very unlikable people. This worried me because I do not enjoy spending time with rude characters. Once we were well and truly aware of these “unlikable” characters, they fade into the background and we get to spend quality time with Meg and her family/friends. Ah, that is so much better!

We get to see Meg take part in a blacksmith television competition. She doesn’t want to be there, but her friends are in financial difficulties and Meg is the only person who can keep them utter financial ruin. Her blacksmithing mentor, Faulk, is attacked the night before filming is to start. And Meg is asked to stand in for Faulk so that the show can be filmed.

The competition is being produced at Ragnar’s impressive estate. You may recall in past episodes that Ragnar bought a run down property and hired Meg to do all the blacksmithing work on the property now called Ragnarsholm. It is a heavy metal drummer’s idea of his home being his castle. What fun we had watching Meg work on the property.

But this time around her family are guests in Ragnarsholm while Meg films a week-long television episode of the premiere episode of a Forged in Fire type reality show. What fun it is to be eating gourmet food, and spending time on this great estate. (I want to live there.) of course, this changes when Meg finds a dead body.

Highly recommend!

This series is just SO good!

I cannot explain how much I look forward to a new release! If you are new to the series start at the beginning and enjoy these stories and watch this whole community develop, however it can be a stand alone book too. Loved it!!
