Description

Meg's paternal grandfather has hired Stanley Denton to find her grandmother Cordelia. Stanley has found a trail to his long-lost love in a small town a short drive away. He convinces Meg to come with him to meet her, but unfortunately, the woman they meet is Cordelia's cousin - Cordelia died several years ago, and the cousin suspects she was murdered by her long-time neighbor. Stanley and Meg agree to help track down the killer. Grandfather even has perfect cover: he - along with most of Meg's family and friends in Caerphilly - will stage a rescue of the feral emus and ostriches that infest this town. But then the neighbor is murdered, and not only Cordelia's cousin but also the entire contingent of emu-rescuers are suspects.

        May 26, 2014
        A family riddle preoccupies Meg Langslow in Andrews’s sprightly 17th mystery featuring the Caerphilly, Va., amateur sleuth (after 2013 Duck the Halls). Meg, whose father was adopted, never met her biological grandmother. Now she has learned that grandma lived in the nearby town of Riverton, but recently died in a suspicious accident that could have been murder. Meanwhile, countless feral emus are also on the loose in Riverton, having been abandoned by the hippie who unsuccessfully tried to farm them. Meg and her extended family decide to tackle both problems at once, but another local death and a surprising twist in the family tree complicate their efforts. Hints of nonagenarian romance taking root add a little spice to the comical avian setup. Andrews’s readers, who have come to expect a little silliness, fun-loving characters, and endings that are tough to predict won’t be disappointed. Agent: Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary Agency.
