Search - Owls Well That Ends Well (Meg Langslow, Bk 6)

Andrews' books just keep getting better and better! In this one, a huge yard sale turns into a carnival ... including unauthorized concessions, squatters setting up sales booths, and a ride!

If you're a follower of Meg Lanslow, ironworker, this is one of her funnier misadventures. Whodunit ends up being a surprise to the reader when everything that seems wrapped up unravels...

Excellent story! The adventures of Meg and her family are wonderfully amusing. This one brings back a little of the spark and fire of the first book--this one is more fun than the last few. Donna Andrews has a gift.

Another madcap adventure of Meg and her family, this one centered around a huge yard sale..and a body discovered in a trunk......Meg's father, dressed and imitating an owl is a hoot (a bad pun I admit)....Meg's relationship with Michael moves to the next level ! Donna Andrews, as usual, is laugh out loud funny !!

This is a very well written and funny book. Furthering the interactions of the characters, and bringing them to you as though they were peculiar family members.

Makes you wish they were.

Our intrepid blacksmith artist Meg Langslow has just bought a house with her boyfriend Michael. It's a major fixer-upper, though, and crammed full of junk as the previous owner was a pack rat, so Meg has decided to hold the mother of all yard sales, and invited other family members to join as well as help with the organization. Naturally (for our heroine) a body is found in an old trunk and the victim is an antiques dealer that has a reputation for being shady and a cheat, which means there are suspects galore. Unfortunately the police have arrested one of Michael's friends, a professor at the university who is key to Michael's search for academic tenure. And so once again Meg has an excuse to snoop and conduct her own investigation, which she manages with aplomb in the midst of the chaos of a yard sale of epic proportions, the local conservationists' attempts to protect the endangered barn owls on their property, the escaped sheep from the neighboring farm, her extended family's eccentricities, and her mother's attempts to decorate her house, guaranteeing the humor amidst the mystery that Donna Andrews has become well known for.
