Description

The brilliantly funny Donna Andrews delivers another winner in the acclaimed avian-themed series that mystery readers have come to love. The nineteenth book in her New York Times best-selling series continues to surprise and delight in this next knee-slapping adventure featuring Meg Langslow and all the eccentric characters that make up her world.
Meg is Team Mom and Michael is coach of their twin sons' youth baseball team, the Caerphilly Eagles. Meg tangles with Biff Brown, the petty, vindictive league head. On opening day, Biff's lookalike brother is found dead in the porta-potty at the ball field. So many people think Biff's scum that it would be easy to blame him, but he has an alibi—and Meg suspects he may actually have been the intended victim.
With Die Like an Eagle, readers can look forward to another zany Meg Langslow mystery—this one filled with the spirit of America's pastime and Donna's eagle eye.
Like Meg Langslow, the blacksmith heroine of her series, Donna Andrews was born and raised in Yorktown, Virginia. She introduced Meg to readers in her Malice Domestic Contest-winning first mystery, Murder with Peacocks, and readers are still laughing. This novel swept up the Agatha, Anthony, Barry, and a Romantic Times award for best first novel, and a Lefty for funniest mystery.

        June 27, 2016
        In Agatha-winner Andrews’s charming 20th Meg Langslow mystery (after 2015’s Lord of the Wings), tenacious Meg must tangle with the dictatorial Summerball Youth Baseball League president and town contractor, Biff Brown. As special assistant to the mayor of Caerphilly, Va., Meg has had the job of hounding dodgy Biff about his unfulfilled government contracts. He’s clearly responsible for the dilapidated baseball field, where one day before a game the umpire, who happens to be Biff’s half-brother, is found dead of a gunshot wound inside the ball field’s lone portable toilet. Was Biff the culprit? Since plenty of people around the league (and the town, and the county), including family members, have a beef with Biff, Meg suspects that the bullet that hit his look-alike half-brother was really meant for him. As always, Meg turns sleuth and jumps to the rescue when needed. With its well-spun plots and distinctive characters, Andrews’s amusing avian-named series shows no signs of growing stale. Agent: Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary Agency.

        Biff Brown, the opinionated, verbally abusive head of the Summerball Youth Baseball League, is giving Meg Langslow headaches on two fronts. First of all, her twin sons are in the league, and Biff runs it like a dictatorship. Second, Biff is the owner of the construction company that is contracted to renovate the Caerphilly, Virginia, town square by Memorial Day, six weeks away, and nothing has been done; Meg, as executive assistant to the mayor, has been leaving Biff daily messages, which he is dodging. When Biff's half-brother, Shep Henson, is found murdered in a Porta-Potty, the consensusis that he was mistaken for Biff, who has no shortage of enemies. Meg, along with help from her relatives, friends, and other baseball parents, works to unseat Biff as head of the league, while investigating him as a possible murderer. As always, the ever efficient Meg and the quirky townspeople of Caerphilly add humor to a long-running, satisfying series that will appeal to fans of Nancy Atherton's family-centered, village-set Aunt Dimity series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)

        Andrews launched her career with the Malice Domestic Contest-winning Murder with Peacocks, which grabbed Agatha, Anthony, Barry, and Romantic Times honors for best first novel, and has since gone on to New York Times best-selling success. Here, in her 19th mystery, she stays funny and avian-themed as heroine Meg Langslow battles the famously nasty Biff Brown, head of the league to which her twin sons' youth baseball team belongs. Meg investigates when Biff's remarkably similar-looking brother is found dead in the ball field's Porta-Potty. Maybe Biff was the intended victim?

        Reader Dunne uses what may be a perfect mom voice for Meg, the amateur sleuth at the center of the Meg Langslow cozy mystery series. It’s a voice that’s comforting, good-natured, and sensible, attributes Andrews has written into her seemingly tireless overachiever who effortlessly balances family life with unmasking wily villains. Her 20th investigation involves the death of an umpire of her twin sons’ junior baseball league. Bill Brown’s body is discovered in a mobile toilet at the ballfield. Bill may not have been Mr. Popularity, but his look-alike half-brother, Biff, is loathed and despised by most of the little town of Caerphilly, Virginia. Was the wrong brother bumped off, or might the unloved Biff be the murderer? For the audio edition, reader Dunne focuses her vocal stylings on other characters in addition to the story’s protagonist. There’s the ill-tempered, gravel-throated Biff, and the likable members of Meg’s multigenerational clan, including the energetic twins (whose voices resemble Bart Simpson’s minus the attitude), and her cheery, soft-spoken mother, who can whip up a picnic for 100 in the blink of an eye. A Minotaur hardcover.
