About this product

Product Information

Meg Langslow never thought that moving into a new home with her fianc e would be easy. But a Virginia basement full of arctic penguins? And a dead body? That's just bad manners...from Meg and Michael's perspective, at least. As for Meg's father, he took in the penguins as a favor to the bankrupt Caerphilly Zoo, where they're set to return just as soon as the zoo's fundraising efforts pay off. Problem is that the zoo-keeper himself has gone missing--and only the animals know the truth about his whereabouts. Now it's up to Meg to find out more about her DOA houseguest...before the ice melts on this very cold case.
