New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews returns with another
Meg Langslow mystery written firmly in the grand tradition of Agatha
Christie's Christmas books (Toronto Globe and Mail)--Owl Be Home for
Christmas.
It will take a large pair of eyes to solve this Christmas mystery. .
.
It's a few days before the 25th and Meg's grandfather is hosting a
scientific conference on owls at the Caerphilly Inn. Most of the family
are there, helping out in one capacity or another, including Meg's
grandmother, Cordelia--invited by Grandfather in a rare gesture of
peace-making, to share her expertise on rehabilitating large birds,
including owls. An unexpectedly severe snowstorm traps the
conference-goers in the hotel and, lo and behold, one of the visiting
ornithologists is murdered.
Even if Caerphilly is able to clear the roads in time, Chief Burke
doesn't want the various suspects to scatter to half a dozen continents
before he identifies the killer. . .So there's a very real possibility
that none of them will make it home for Christmas, that is, unless Meg
can find a way to swoop down and make sure that justice is served.
