Review
TOUCAN KEEP A SECRET by Donna Andrews
The Twenty-Third Meg Langslow Mystery
With Reverend Robyn Smith on bed rest, Meg Langslow is on duty at
Trinity Episcopalian. Loud banging interrupts her from securing the
church for the night and leads her to the graveyard only to find Julius
Hagley, one of the Muttering Misogynists, dead inside the vandalized
columbarium. Did he interrupt an intruder or did the women in the vestry
finally have enough of him? Or was his murder somehow connected to an
old unsolved jewel robbery, an event that ties all the disturbed
cremains together?
A return to Caerphilly, Virginia is a return to fun. Donna Andrews leads her zany cast of characters through a well plotted mystery filled with laughs.
It doesn't matter if you've read each previous book in the series, have been away a while and missed a few, or if this is your first Meg Langslow Mystery, you can jump right in and not feel lost or as if you had missed something. Despite being the twenty-third book in the series TOUCAN KEEP A SECRET remains fresh.
I quite enjoyed the tie in to an unsolved mystery. Delving into the past while seeing its effects on the present bring added dimension to the story. I also love how Meg gets the whole family and community involved, in helping the toucan, helping the Smiths, and solving the murder! TOUCAN KEEP A SECRET is a great addition to this long-running series.
