The Good, the Bad, and the Emus

A Meg Langslow Mystery, Book 17

By: Donna Andrews

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne

Meg's paternal grandfather has hired Stanley Denton to find her grandmother Cordelia. Stanley has found a trail to his long-lost love in a small town a short drive away. He convinces Meg to come with him to meet her, but unfortunately, the woman they meet is Cordelia's cousin. Cordelia died several years ago, and the cousin suspects she was murdered by her long-time neighbor.

Stanley and Meg agree to help track down the killer. Grandfather even has perfect cover: He, along with most of Meg's family and friends in Caerphilly, will stage a rescue of the feral emus and ostriches that infest this town. But then the neighbor is murdered, and not only Cordelia's cousin but also the entire contingent of emu-rescuers are suspects.

Who really was the first corpse?

friendship, cozy-mystery, amateur-sleuth, verbal-humor, situational-humor

The first body was murdered six months ago and seems to be Dr. Langslow's long lost mother in a town not all that far away. Then Meg spots an emu in the wild and tells Grandfather and the circus begins. Dr Blake calls out his whole entourage, Dad calls out SPOOR, and a campground is taken over so that the emus can be rescued and relocated. Later, one of the volunteers is poisoned, another body turns up and the real sleuthing begins! Less family madness but no fewer laughs in general. Loved it!
Bernadette really has this series as a winner!
