Away in a manger, asleep on the hay, Meg Langslow finds a
little gift.
For four previous Christmases, New York Times
bestselling author Donna Andrews has delighted readers
with holiday mysteries, full of Christmas cheer and starring
her quirky characters. Now she gives us another hilarious
new adventure in her award-winning Meg Langslow series with
Lark! The Herald Angels Sing.
It’s Christmastime in Caerphilly and Meg, full of holiday
spirit, is helping out with the town's festivities. While
directing a nativity pageant and herding the children
participating in it, she finds a surprise in the manger: a
live baby.
A note from the mother, attached to the baby girl’s clothes,
says that it’s time for her father to take care of her—and
implicates Meg’s brother, Rob, as the father. And while a
DNA test can reveal whether there's any truth to the
accusation, Rob's afraid the mere suspicion could derail his
plan to propose to the woman he loves. Meg quickly realizes
it's up to her to find the baby's real identity.
She soon discovers that the baby—named Lark according to the
fateful note—may be connected to something much bigger.
Something that eventually puts a growing number of Meg’s
friends and family in danger. And before long, Meg realizes
she can’t fix things single-handedly. Meanwhile, a war is
brewing between Caerphilly and its arch-rival Clay
County—and it's not a snowball fight. Can Meg bring everyone
together in time for the holidays?
As in her previous Christmas mysteries, Andrews continues to
write “firmly in the grand tradition of Agatha Christie’s
Christmas books” (Toronto Globe and Mail) with a book
that will put cozy lovers everywhere in a holly jolly mood.
