Owls Well That Ends Well

fullDescription

Meg Langslow was actually looking forward to renovating the old Victorian mansion she and her boyfriend Michael bought. But she wasn't thrilled by the lifetime of junk accumulated by the house's eccentric previous owner, Edwina Sprocket. The easiest solution: hold the end-all and be-all of gigantic yard sales. But when the event attracts the late Miss Sprocket's money-hungry heirs, the over-enthusiastic supporters of some endangered barn owls, and customers willing to go to any lengths to uncover a hidden treasure, Meg suspects things have gotten a little out of hand...
Then an antiques dealer is found stuffed in a trunk with his head bashed in—and the yard sale turns into a day's-long media circus. Even worse, the suspect arrested for the crime is the person Michael needs to secure academic tenure. Now, Meg is juggling an ever-growing list of suspects. And she's going to have to outthink and outwit one clever murderer who lives by "everything must go..."

     "It's a hoot...a supporting cast of endearingly eccentric characters, perfectly pitched dialogue and a fine sense of humor make this a treat."

   • content: "Death by yard sale epitomizes the 'everyday people' humor that Andrews does so well...for readers who prefer their mysteries light...Andrews may be the next best thing to Janet Evanovich."
3. • premium: False
   • source: Romantic Times (starred review)

   • content: "Andrews delivers another wonderfully comic story....This is a fun read, as are all the books in the series. Andrews playfully creates laughable, wacky scenes that are the backdrop for her criminally devious plot. Settle back, dear reader and enjoy another visit to Meg's anything-but-ordinary world."

     March 15, 2005
     Andrews' sixth Meg Langslow tale is a loony, utterly delightful affair featuring the zany Meg, her affable boyfriend, Michael, and a collection of Meg's wacky relatives. Meg and Michael have bought a dilapidated mansion containing a huge collection of possessions from deceased owner Edwina Sprocket. Agreeing to sell the items and give the remaining Sprockets a cut, Meg and Michael prepare for a huge yard sale--with Meg's entire extended family camping out in the house; however, the discovery of a dead body puts a damper on the festivities. The dead man is a local antiques dealer, but suspicion quickly turns to Professor Giles Rathbone, whose owl bookend was the murder weapon. Meg has a vested interest in clearing Giles--he's one of Michael's few supporters on the tenure committee. As usual, Andrews provides plenty of fun, including Meg's penchant for reciting collective nouns that pertain to birds, such as a "parliament of owls" and a "murmuration of starlings." Another laugh-out-loud lark that will leave readers singing Andrews' praises.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2005, American Library Association.)
