Revenge of the Wrought-Iron Flamingos (Meg Langslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2002

Read the Other 2 First then Enjoy This One
This is definitely a case where you want to read the first two books before you take on this one. The family members, friends, and even pets are all well developed in those first books so that when you encounter them here you already understand their quirks and ...

Crouching Buzzard, Leaping Loon (Meg Lanslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2004

The Best So Far
You really want to read the first 3 books in the series before you begin this one. Each of the main characters has a complex, convoluted past that lays the groundwork for why they are the way they are in this series. You will miss out on a lot of the whys and double ...

Owls Well That Ends Well (Meg Langslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006

Always enjoyable
This series is a fun read. I'm sure most readers can identify characters in their own families. Great as a series but can stand alone.

Murder with Puffins (Meg Langslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2001

Murder With Puffins
Funny, upbeat and well-written mystery that's not predictable. I enjoyed Ms. Andrews sense of humor and recommend the book.

No Nest for the Wicket (A Meg Langslow Mystery)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2007

Entertaining, witty, well-plotted - one of best in the series
I generally enjoy this series, and when I see that the author has a new book out, I always get it. I have sometimes been disappointed because it's not as good as I expected, but that's not the case with this book -- it was one of the better in the series, all of which ...

We'll Always Have Parrots (Meg Lanslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2005

Meg, Queen of the Jungle

Murder with Peacocks (Meg Langslow Mysteries)

Donna Andrews

St. Martin's Minotaur, 2000

Murder With Peacocks
This is my first Meg Mystery by Donna Andrews. I am definitely going to buy more of her books. It was not only a mystery but a funny and slightly romatic book. Another book that was hard to put down.

Chesapeake Crimes

Lulu.com, 2007

Mystery At It's Best
If you are a follower of my reviews, you know how much I enjoy short stories. I was excited to be reviewing such as work from a publisher that I know turns out the finest in mystery novels. Chesapeake Crimes is compiled of short stories packed full of mystery, ...

A Sea of Troubles

Donna Leon

Random House Audiobooks, 2001

Brunetti Explores South of the Lido
A Sea of Troubles is a pleasant change in the Guido Brunetti series. Although Venice is surrounded (and almost inundated by) the sea, there's often little sense of that element in the earlier stories except in recounting the need to take a boat or vaporetto to get ...
