5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
A Shakespearean twist on the long-running Meg Langslow mystery series in Murder Most Fowl, the next installment from Donna Andrews, award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Falcon Always Wings Twice. Meg Langslows in for a busy summer. Her husband is directing a production of Macbeth, and most of the cast and crew are occupying spare bedrooms in their house. She also has to keep an eye on Camp Birnam, where a group of medieval reenactors are commemorating the real-life Macbeth by setting up what they fondly believe is an authentic medieval Scottish military camp. And then theres Damien Goodwin, a filmmaker who has been hanging around, trying to document the production. When Goodwin hosts a showing of some of the footage hes taken, he manages to embarrass or offend just about everyone. The next morning Meg isnt exactly surprised to find that someone has murdered him. But who? Some peoples motives were obvious from the footage: the couple whose affair was revealed . . . the bombastic leader of the reenactors, who could be facing years in prison if the evidence from the video helps convict him of sheep stealing . . . the actress whos desperately trying to downplay a health issue that could cost her the role of her life. Other motives are only hinted atdid the filmmaker have other footage that would reveal why one of the actors is behaving so furtively? Unfortunately, whoever murdered Goodwin also destroyed all the electronic devices on which his video was stored. So Caerphillys chief of policeand Megmust rediscover the same secrets the filmmaker did if they want to catch a killer.

Between Michael‘s production of Macbeth, the “historic” Scottish re-enactors, the real life witchcraft in the woods - this one is creepy!

I love this series so much and I‘m so impressed that Andrew‘s manages to keep coming up with more scenarios for Meg and the gang. This time it‘s troupe of actors rehearsing Macbeth, some historical reenactors and the ongoing inter departmental feud at the college. Fun

I started reading the Meg Langslow book‘s almost exactly a year ago. They have a special place in my heart because they were the first thing to make me laugh after my mother passed away. Murder Most Fowl was typical of the series: a nice mystery, a zany cast, slightly improbable, a perfect beach read. #ARC #cozymysteries

Love! Donna Andrews really does write the best books! I feel like she tempered the madcap a little bit this book; just enough for me to notice, but I think I didn‘t hate it. And there was still the zany finale and that was so much fun; can‘t wait to see how many they keep in the next book! No one does a recap better, especially when there‘s so much going on, but she never loses me with the endings.
