Synopsis

Meg Langslow is plying her blacksmith's trade at Caerphilly Days, a festival inspired by the town's sudden notoriety as 'The Town That Mortgaged Its Jail.' The lender has foreclosed on all Caerphilly's public buildings, and all employees have evacuated - except one. Phineas Throckmorton, town clerk, has been barricaded in the courthouse basement for over a year. But the lender seems increasingly determined to evict him, and may succeed after one of its executives is found shot, apparently from inside the basement. Meg and her fellow townspeople suspect that someone hopes to end the siege by framing Mr. Throckmorton. Meg soon deduces that the killer isn't just trying to end the siege but to conceal information that would help the town reclaim its buildings.

I don't really read these books because of the mystery. (Um, remind me, who actually did get killed in this one?) I read them because of the zany-ness, the humor, and the likeable characters. Donna Andrews is what Janet Evanovich aspires to be - silly, fun and each book a fresh treasure. Not sure th......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on May 15, 2016

Meg Langslow is like my “comfort-food” mystery. After I read tons of books that blend together I can count on these books to stand out and be easy reads that I love and enjoy. In this (fourteenth) book in the series the town is still evicted from their buildings, but they’re making do and having a bo......more

Goodreads review by Kathy on August 21, 2024

Fourteenth in the Meg Langslow usually much funnier mystery series revolving around Meg the blacksmith and her interfering family. My Take I can't wait for the funny bits to hit...and I'm, mostly, still waiting. Definitely not one of my favorites in this series. Although, I did enjoy the big Evil Lend......more
