Description
Meg Langslow is plying her blacksmith's trade at Caerphilly Days, a festival inspired by the town's sudden notoriety as 'The Town That Mortgaged Its Jail.' The lender has foreclosed on all Caerphilly's public buildings, and all employees have evacuated - except one. Phineas Throckmorton, town clerk, has been barricaded in the courthouse basement for over a year. But the lender seems increasingly determined to evict him, and may succeed after one of its executives is found shot, apparently from inside the basement. Meg and her fellow townspeople suspect that someone hopes to end the siege by framing Mr. Throckmorton. Meg soon deduces that the killer isn't just trying to end the siege but to conceal information that would help the town reclaim its buildings.

- content: Phineas Throckmorton, the town clerk of Caerphilly, Virginia, has barricaded himself in the courthouse basement, to keep the town's Òevil lenderÓ from foreclosing on the building. The townspeople deliver supplies to him via a treacherous Civil War-era tunnel. Blacksmith and amateur sleuth Meg Langslow is busy keeping the secret of the tunnel from outsiders when she ends up in the middle of a murder mystery. A gifted storyteller, narrator Bernadette Dunne uses a quick pace that drives the plot through lengthy descriptions, mainly of the tunnel. Claustrophobics, beware! Dunne's character voices add much dimension and humor. When the plot gets bogged down, Dunne's excellent narration enhances the laugh-out-loud moments, making this mystery stand out.

The future of Caerphilly, Va., is at stake in Agatha-winner Andrews’s warm, charming 14th Meg Langslow mystery (after 2011’s The Real Macaw). While the town hosts the Caerphilly Days festival for the summer tourists, under the surface the locals battle a finance company following former mayor George Pruitt’s embezzlement of the town’s funds. The festival not only helps raise sympathy for the beleaguered town but also conceals the activities of those who are stealthily supporting town recluse Phineas K. Throckmorton, who’s barricaded himself in the basement of the repossessed and guarded courthouse. When a corporate vice president is fatally shot in the courthouse basement, Throckmorton is suspected—and the town residents can’t share his alibi without revealing their secret tunnel. Blacksmith, mother, and occasional town deputy Meg must rally her resources to target the killer, just as the security hawk of the title targets Throckmorton’s pigeons. Agent: Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary Agency.
