Review: Murder with Puffins by: Donna Andrews


Title: Murder with Puffins
Author: Donna Andrews
Series: Meg Langslow #2

Description:

Winner of the St. Martin's Malice Domestic Award in 1997 for her first work Murder With Peacocks, Donna Andrews brings back her zany characters and disastrous events.

In an attempt to get away from her family, Meg and her boyfriend go to a tiny island off the coast of Maine. What could have been a romantic getaway slowly turns into disaster.

Once there, they are marooned by a hurricane and that is only the beginning of their problems. Meg and her boyfriend arrive at the house only to discover that Meg's parents and siblings, along with their spouses are all there. When a murder takes place, Meg realizes that she and her boyfriend can no longer sit by a cozy fireplace, but must instead tramp around the muddy island to keep try and clear her father who is the chief suspect.

My Thoughts: 

I love this series is such fun I always find myself laughing out loud so much.  In this book new couple Meg and Michael with a visit to a small island in Maine what they didn't count on was half the family being there.  Add to that a major storm is coming, and someone winds up dead to boot now Michael and Meg are trying to piece the puzzle together of what happened and why.

I love Donna Andrews writing it really pulls you in and you end up laughing so much with all Meg's crazy relatives even Michael's mothers dog Spike ends up there.  Too much fun!
