It’s time for more outrageous and feathered fun in the
award-winning, laugh-out-loud Meg Langslow
series.
When her old friend Karen drops by with
two-year-old son Timmy, Meg Langslow reluctantly agrees to
babysit “just for a little while.” But when nightfall comes,
the toddler is still in residence and Karen isn’t answering
any phone calls. Meg decides she must find out what’s
happening, so the next morning, with Timmy in tow, she
retraces her friend’s footsteps---and begins to suspect that
Karen’s disappearance is tied to at least one serious crime.
Has Karen been killed or kidnapped? Is she on the run from
the bad guys? Or is she one of the bad guys? The
police don’t seem to care, so Meg once again plays
sleuth---this time with a toddler as her sidekick.
As
usual, Meg’s extended family adds to the complications in
her life. What covert animal welfare project are Dad and the
curmudgeonly zoologist Dr. Montgomery Blake working on---and
will Meg have to make another late-night trip to bail them
out of jail? Why does Meg’s brother keep disappearing---is
he merely trying to avoid babysitting, or is he involved in
something more mysterious? Will taking care of Timmy dampen
newly married Meg and Michael’s enthusiasm for starting a
family of their own? And are any of Meg’s relatives reliable
enough to be trusted with a two-year-old---especially a
two-year-old whose whereabouts might be of interest to some
very dangerous people?
Donna Andrews once again proves
her skill as one of the funniest, most entertaining mystery
authors around.
