Synopsis

The unflappable ornamental blacksmith-turned-detective Meg Langslow returns in this latest bird mystery by award-winning author Donna Andrews. Aficionados of Murder with Peacocks and Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos will revel in Andrews's trademark dry humor, offbeat characters, and disastrous events unfolding at another classic American setting. And we get to peek in on fresh developments in Meg’s romance with her college professor beau Michael, her intrepid partner in detection. Despite the fact that detectives always seem to attract as many murders as they solve, Andrews’s buzzards and loons make for delightful and cozy reading—and a new take on the meaning of bird watcher. Put on your deerstalker cap, get out your magnifying glass, and pull up an overstuffed chair.

“Half Jane Austen, half battery acid.”—Kirkus Reviews

This was a reread of the laugh-out-loud funniest, and my favorite, of Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow mystery series.

Meg has moved to Caerphilly to be with Michael but housing prices are sky high and suitable houses are pretty much non-existent. They're cohabitating in a basement and Meg works out of a tiny studio. It's so small, she injured herself working and can't do her ironwork for awhile. Her brother Rob's v......more
