Owl Be Home for Christmas: A Meg Langslow Mystery
Owl Be Home for Christmas: A Meg Langslow Mystery | Donna Andrews
11 posts | 10 read | 2 to read
New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews returns with another Meg Langslow mystery written "firmly in the grand tradition of Agatha Christie's Christmas books" (Toronto Globe and Mail). The 26th book and the sixth Christmas mystery in the Meg Lansglow series, Owl Be Home for Christmas is yet another wonderfully merry and funny book from New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews.It's a few days before Christmas, and Meg's grandfather is hosting a scientific conference on owls at the Caerphilly Inn. Most of the family are there, helping out in one capacity or another, including Meg's grandmother, Cordelia--invited by Grandfather in rare gesture of peace-making, to share her expertise on rehabilitating large birds, including owls. An unexpectedly severe snow storm traps the conference-goers in the hotel, and one of the visiting ornithologists is murdered. Even if Caerphilly is able to clear the roads in time, Chief Burke doesn't want the various suspects to scatter to half a dozen continents before he identifies the killer, so there's a very real possibility that none of them will make it home for Christmas . . . at least not unless Meg comes to the rescue.Full of intrigue and snow, this Christmas mystery will take readers home to Caerphilly for Christmas.

Loved this. Always a pleasure to spend time with Meg and the Gang and this is a really fun addition to the series. Would probably work stand-alone as well which is quite something when you‘re this far into a series.

I always enjoy a good cozy mystery and holiday books are a weakness so, combining the two is a sure thing in my book ?. stranded in a blizzard at a hotel conference for ornithologists with the focus on owls, one of the attendees is murdered. Meg & her grandfather worked to find the murderer despite their weather limited resources. A fun "hoo" done it to kick off the holiday reading season ?

ferskner Oh my gosh, everything about this sounds great! 5y

I never read a Christmas book this far away from it, but I was in a Meg Langslow mood and this was the only one I hadn‘t read. Meg and her crazy family did not disappoint. I‘m in Charleston for a conference which starts tomorrow; today we did touristy things. The pictures are of the aquarium and Fort Sumter; between those two places, I walked 3.25 miles on this gorgeous day. It‘s supposed to rain tomorrow.

Come-read-with-me @KathyWheeler You put together the most beautiful collages! So not only am I excited to read your post, I also love looking at them! 👏🏻 5y
KathyWheeler @Come-read-with-me Thank you! ❤️ 5y

I don‘t usually read anything set during Christmas when it‘s this far away from the holiday, but I was in the mood for Meg Langslow, and this is the only one I haven‘t read. So I checked it out and am going to sleep listening to it . Good night, y‘all.
