I always enjoy a Meg Langslow Mystery. The cover and title of The Good, the Bad, and the Emus, book 17 of the Meg Langslow Mysteries series by Donna Andrews certainly caught my attention.

Meg sets out with her Grandfather, husband, twins, and two dogs in the twinmobile, her trusty book-that-tells-her-when-to-breathe clutched tightly in her hand on the way to solve the murder of her estranged grandmother under cover of a feral emu roundup. What could go wrong?

Andrews has a knack for creating a puzzle that is both intriguing and satisfying to solve. And let’s not forget about the feral emus! They add an extra layer of chaos and entertainment to the story, making it even more enjoyable.

Delightful as always, I am interested in seeing how everything comes together to solve the murder in the end.

“That’s perfect,” Stanley said. “This won’t take long. And I really don’t need for you to do anything. I just need to borrow your face.”
