Search - An Owl Too Many (Peter Shandy Mysteries)

If you like zany mysteries, books that prove that an author not only has a good sense of humor, but an excellent vocabulary, you will like anything that Charlot MacLeod writes. She holds your interest, has interesting characters, plots with unexpected twists and turns to them and leaves you wanting to read another one of her mysteries.

I am one of those readers who deplores profanity in a book. If I wouldn't allow it to be spoken in my house, I will not allow it in my reading. I deplore those books where characters hop in and out of beds. There are things better left to the imagination, and that is where Charlotte MacLeod leaves them. Her books are good, wholesome, clean fun. It's my cup of tea, and if it is yours, you will enjoy her books. This one is a keeper and it will NOT be reposted by me!

The Chicago Sun Times said "Delightfully screwy characters, an engaginghusband and wife sleuth team and enough twists to keep turning the pages ... MacLeod is a top entertainer." The story: The Annual Owl Count at Balaclav Agricultural College is serious business. So why does a team that includes the redoubtable Profesors Shandy, Stott and Binks also include a boorish avian ignoramus like Emory Emmerick? And how could he have had the temerity to get himself netted and stabbed to death while in pursuit of an extremely rare Snowy Owl?

Nobody writes more entertaining nonsense than Charlotte MacLeod and somehow she makes her goofy worlds work. You find yourself really caring who stabbed boorish Emory Emmerick while on an organized hunt for the rare snowy owl. Starring Peter Shandy, the Hercule Poirot of the turnip patch.
