Owl be home for Christmas
(Large Print)
New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews returns with another Meg Langslow mystery written "firmly in the grand tradition of Agatha Christie's Christmas books" (Toronto Globe and Mail).
The 26th book and the sixth Christmas mystery in the Meg Lansglow series, Owl Be Home for Christmas is yet another wonderfully merry and funny book from New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews.
It's a few days before Christmas, and Meg's grandfather is hosting a scientific conference on owls at the Caerphilly Inn. Most of the family are there, helping out in one capacity or another, including Meg's grandmother, Cordelia--invited by Grandfather in rare gesture of peace-making, to share her expertise on rehabilitating large birds, including owls. An unexpectedly severe snow storm traps the conference-goers in the hotel, and one of the visiting ornithologists is murdered. Even if Caerphilly is able to clear the roads in time, Chief Burke doesn't want the various suspects to scatter to half a dozen continents before he identifies the killer, so there's a very real possibility that none of them will make it home for Christmas . . . at least not unless Meg comes to the rescue.
Full of intrigue and snow, this Christmas mystery will take readers home to Caerphilly for Christmas.

| 520 | |a It's a few days before Christmas, and Meg's grandfather is hosting Owl Fest, a scientific conference on owls at the elegant Caerphilly Inn. Many of Meg's relatives are there, either to help out or to make sure they'll all be together for Christmas, including Meg's grandmother Cordelia, invited by Grandfather in a peace-making gesture to share her expertise on rehabilitating large birds. But then a snow storm of historic proportions blankets the entire eastern half of the US, trapping the conference-goers in the hotel—and one of the visiting ornithologists is murdered. No one, including the killer, can escape. Which is just fine by Chief Burke, who would rather the various suspects stay right where they are. But there's a very real possibility that none of them will make it home for Christmas unless Meg comes to the rescue. | ||
