I also did not try to guess who it was or why the murders had happened. And plus I loved the cover! Those pretty ravens against that orange sky! But those ravens make lots of mischief for their owner! 😅 But no, I really didn't have any problems with who was who. There seems to be a lot of books in this series and I haven't read any of the others.basically I just jumped right in with this one because it was a Halloween story that I found at the library. I will say that there are a ton of characters in here and for some people it may be hard to keep straight who is who. And it moves so fast you won't get bored.

The story has details to satisfy but its not full of those super long annoying paragraphs of descriptions if you know what I mean. The thing I liked is how the story flowed so super smoothly and it was carried forward by conversations between the characters. It had lots of twists and turns and a few events even made me chuckle a bit. So much stuff just kept happening that it was very entertaining. I found this one to be lots of fun and a pleasure to read. With Lord of the Wings, readers can look forward to another zany Meg Langslow mystery - this one filled with Halloween spirit and suspense. This novel swept up the Agatha, Anthony, Barry, and a Romantic Times award for best first novel, and a Lefty for funniest mystery. She introduced Meg to readers in her Malice Domestic Contest-winning first mystery, Murder with Peacocks, and readers are still laughing. Like Meg Langslow, the blacksmith heroine of her series, Donna Andrews was born and raised in Yorktown, Virginia. But all too soon a real body mars the town's creepy fun, and it's up to Meg to save Halloween. When a suspicious fire burns the Haunted House and a body is found, Meg Langslow surrenders her home as a safer party venue. The residents are covering every window with cobwebs and roaming the streets in costume to entertain the tourists, and Meg's grandfather is opening a new 'Creatures of the Night' exhibit in the zoo. It's another holiday and Mayor Randall Shiffley has turned Caerphilly, Virginia into Spooky City, USA. The nineteenth book in her New York Times best-selling series continues to surprise and delight in this next knee-slapping adventure featuring Meg Langslow and all the eccentric characters that make up her world. The brilliantly funny Donna Andrews delivers another winner in the acclaimed avian-themed series that mystery readers have come to love. A new side-splitting Meg Langslow mystery from award–winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Good, The Bad, and The Emus.
