St. Martin's Press MinotaurMeg Langslow Add to Wish List
Mystery Woman Sleuth
Croquet is a genteel game, usually played on a summer
afternoon on a tranquil green lawn. Extreme Croquet is a
whole other story. That’s what Meg Langslow and her new
friends (whether she wants to call them friends or not)
are playing on the several-acre farm of her new neighbor.
It’s a countryside studded with rocks, steep hills, and
placid, seemingly immovable cows.
Extreme Croquet is the current rage in Caerphilly, where
Meg and her fiancé, Michael, have bought a house. While
this society game can get quite warm, it hasn’t reached
the stage of actual homicide---at least not until Meg
knocks her ball down a small cliff and encounters the body
of a dead woman. Her head has been bashed in,
illustrating, perhaps, one of the many uses of a croquet
mallet. It turns out that Michael knew the woman from
years before. Meg finds herself further drawn in when
it’s discovered that the woman was seeking to expose the
bad dealings of a certain local society lady’s ancestors.
In the meantime, the old house needs many basic
improvements and swarms with an entire family of working
men, including countless second cousins, sawing and
pounding away. Meg’s father is the overseer but is easily
distracted since he has a tendency to become wrapped up in
his current animal charges---this time it’s ducks.
