Die Like an Eagle, by Donna Andrews

Die Like an Eagle by Donna Andrews

My rating: 4 of 5 stars(4.5 stars, really!)

I have to start by saying, I love Ms. Andrews' Meg Langslow series. When I saw the book on NetGalley I was super excited. I honestly try to wait until closer to publishing date to read the ARCs I am given. Die Like an Eagle comes out Aug. 2, I was approved early on June 9. By the end of the day I had finished it, because I could not put it down! Lucky for me, Blogger allows me to schedule publication of this post to a little closer to publication date.

First off, can you believe this is book 20 in the series? And I still can't read one without laughing out loud. This time, Meg and her eccentric family are involved with a coach-pitch Summerball team. But before they and the rest of the Summerball league can enjoy opening day, the annoying league president's look-a-like half brother ends up murdered and stuffed in a porta-potty. Meg quickly figures out that more than that stinks, as she looks into the president's business practices and relationships.

As always, Meg's family provides amusement, if mostly in the background for this book. But the laughs were still plenty and the story kept moving, with never a dull moment. If you haven't read the series, this one can be read as a stand alone story. However, it's worth going back and starting at the beginning, Murder With Peacocks, you won't be sorry you did.
