The Hen of the Baskervilles is the latest installment in Donna Andrew's Meg Langslow mystery series, and it does not disappoint. It's late summer when the story opens. Meg and her husband, Michael Waterston, are trying to juggle their two-year-old twin sons, Meg's eccentric relatives, and an assortment of wacky friends and neighbors as the townsfolk of Caerphilly, Virginia host a county fair. A few acts of vandalism could be the work of pranksters, but there's an undercurrent of resentment among the exhibitors and one dark evening, after the fair closes,someone ends up dead. A great cozy mystery with no sex, no drugs, just a little rock and roll and a character driven story that's sure to please.
You can read this as a standalone novel, but to get the full impact of Meg's wacky family history start with Murder with Peacocks and read the books in order.
