This book is tongue-in-cheek clever as though all hilarity is going to break forth any minute. It is very light-hearted and entertaining. There is a small zoo in the area and the zookeeper has disappeared. Meanwhile, all of the animals are being dropped off at Meg Langslow’s house just as she and her fiancé, Michael, are moving in. She finds out her father has given the okay to people to drop off the exotic animals, i.e. llamas, camels, hyenas, lemurs, etc. With an animal rights protest group out front, combined relatives helping with the move and the accumulated animals, there is chaos, and then a body is found. Meg is the one that investigates the death to the chagrin of the local police chief. Much going on makes the book a good read.
Meg Langslow and her fiancé, Michael Waterston, are finally moving into their renovated home in Caerphilly, Virginia with help from her dad and her relative's from her mom's side of the family. Meg's dad has taken over the basement and is building a swimming hole for penguins that he is adopting from a bankrupt zoo. In the course of his digging, he unearths a body. The police are called in but nobody can seem to identify the man, but Meg and the others believe that this is the body of the missing zoo owner. When news spreads about the death of the owner, the town folk who were fostering animals no longer want them, and leave them off at Meg's place. Meg and Michael had plans to elope but everything has been put on hold while the mystery of who killed the zoo owner and put his body in the basement is solved and how to control the menagerie roaming on their property! Lots and lots of whacky characters....almost all Meg's relatives, including her mom and dad. Ms. Andrew's books are always a delight to read, funny with a good plot.Read full review
I love this whole series! Lots of fun and zany action. Meg is a great heroine, she'll take a lot, but WILL blow a fuse sometimes and they scatter when she does. I like that. This book had me laughing till the end.
