Murder Most Fowl

When Michael holds rehersals for a performance of MacBeth, Meg's life once again becomes complicated. With actors occupying spare rooms in her house or camped in the barn plus a group of re-enactors camped in the nearby wood, not to mention accademics from the English and History departments coming and going Meg has difficulty finding a little peace and quiet. Animals are stolen from nearby farms, someone has vandalised a wall inside Meg's house and then the body of a film-maker is found nearby. As Damien Goodwin has managed to upset everyone staying in the area, no-one is really surprised however the killer needs to be found.

Meg and Rose Noire assist the police chief and his team with their enquiries, discovering a number of other law breakers along the way. As with other Meg Langslow books animals feature prominently including chickens, geese, sheep, a heifer and dogs. The story is set over three eventful days and is another entertaining addition to previous Meg Langslow books. Murder Most Fowl is number 29 in this series of books byDonna Andrews.
