Synopsis
Life will never be the same for Meg Langslow after family secrets are revealed, introducing a whole new layer of intrigue in Donna Andrews's beloved series. Meg's long-lost paternal grandfather, Dr. Blake, has hired Stanley Denton to find her grandmother Cordelia. Dr. Blake was reunited with his family when he saw Meg's picture--she's a dead ringer for Cordelia--and now Stanley has found a trail to his long-lost love in a small town less than an hour's drive away. He convinces Meg to come with him to meet her, but unfortunately, the woman they meet is Cordelia's cousin--Cordelia died several years ago, and the cousin suspects she was murdered by her long-time neighbor. Stanley and Meg agree to help track down the killer and get justice for Cordelia. Grandfather even has perfect cover--he will come to stage a rescue of the feral emus and ostriches (escaped from an abandoned farm) that infest this town. He dashes off to organize the rescue--which will, of course, involve most of Meg's family and friends in Caerphilly. But then, the evil neighbor is murdered, and not only Cordelia's cousin but also the entire contingent of emu-rescuers, who have had conflict with the neighbor, are suspects. Only Meg and the cousin--who seems to share a lot of telling traits with Meg--can find the real killer and clear the air in The Good, the Bad, and the Emus , the newest beverage-spittingly funny installment in this uproarious series from the one-and-only Donna Andrews.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

  • Hilarious Donna Andrews novel

    Wonderful entry in the Meg Langslow series. Hysterical stuff along with touching moments about Meg just missing her grandmother, as the woman had been killed. Grandmother's recluse sister is left to tell the tale, along with the coroner who was on the job. Meanwhile, crazy Grandfather is off chasing emus, which were abandoned by a rancher back in the 90s. Seems emu farms were big back then. Naturally, Meg gets mixed up with this, and with other murders. Oh, and her husband and 4-year old twins are front and center as well. Don't ask. Just relax and enjoy the mayhem. A terrific book and highly recommended!
