Length: 10 hrs and 27 mins

Publisher's summary

Dashing Through the Snowbirds is the next merry installment of Donna Andrews's New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery series.

Christmas in Caerphilly is wonderful! Unless you’re a Canadian whose inconsiderate boss is forcing you to spend the holiday there, far from family and friends, with only a slim chance of a white Christmas. Meg already has her hands full, trying to make the season festive for the dozen programmers who are staying with her and Michael while working on a rush project with her brother’s software company. At least it’s an interesting project, since the Canadian company is doing forensic genealogy and DNA analysis.

When the inconsiderate boss is found murdered, there are too many suspects. Even before their Christmas in exile, his own employees had plenty of motives, and the growing number of people suing the company for faulty DNA analysis and invasion of their genetic privacy include at least one notorious murderer. Can Meg crack the case in time to keep the Yuletide bright?

Great story

Does not disappoint. Great book
I look forward to more books .
Highly recommend this book

Family Matters...

I miss Michael, Josh and Jamie! And do we know anything about "Mother"'s parents?

Another great story

I love the Meg Langslow mysteries, all the critters and characters. Glad Donna Andrews is still writing them.

A reliably fun series comes through again!

At over thirty books, we know what to expect from Meg Langslow — amusing, quirky characters, a liberal sprinkling of both animal facts and literary and pop culture references, and a happy ending for almost everyone (and those who don't get one generally deserve what they do get)!

It's a delight to be able to count on two books every year, one Holiday and one set in the rest of the year. After occasionally branching out into Halloween and Independence Day, Donna Andrews has been sticking to Christmas lately. Nothing over the top this year, except Mother's decorating, and there isn't quite the strong focus on one particular event/hobby/setting that some of her books have, this is just a nice mystery set in familiar territory with a few new features to make it stand out.

My one complaint is that Montgomery and Caroline didn't get nearly enough time together — I've been hoping they'd end up tying the knot eventually! Ah, well, Grandfather doesn't show any sign of slowing down yet, and neither does Spike, The Small Evil One, who is probably even older than Grandfather in dog years, so there's still time! ;-)

Enjoyed as always.

I've read every book in sequence. And I'm always a bit sad when it's over.

A very satisfying read!

The characters were were well-defined and engaging. Many suspects, many motives, many incidents. Making the plot an intriguing maze. Also their was definitely humor running through.the plot. I love Aunt Nora!

Favorittserien min!

Skulle ønske at boken aldri tok slutt. Jeg setter virkelig pris på humoren og det herlige persongalleriet. Topp underholdning! ( Norwegian)

Awesome as usual

This story did not disappoint. I can’t wait to hear what comes next in the series!

Hit it out of the park again

I would recommend this book and have recommended Donna Andrews books to my friends she hit it out of the park again. It’s almost like having good friends and catching up on what they’re doing I hope you don’t quit writing about Meg and her family thank you again for another good one

DONNA ANDREWS AT HER BEST!

DASHING THROUGH THE SNOWBIRDS BY DONNA ANDREWS AND NARRATED BY BERNADETTE DUNN is the thirty second in the Meg Langslow series.
It's another Christmas in Caerphilly and this year Meg and her wacky eccentric family are stuck with a group of Canadians. These people are clients of Mutant Wizards, Meg's brothers' company. Robs company is working on a DNA program for them and, as per usual, murder is afoot!
Meg is trying to get ready for Christmas, Meg's dad has a surprise present in the field, Meg's mother is playing the genial hostess, Grandpa is slipping GPS trackers into everyone's purses and pockets, and death is about ready to strike!

I found DASHING THROUGH THE SNOWBIRDS one of the better of the Meg Langslow audiobooks. It had the old feeling of the crazy, eccentric family of the early Meg Langslow novels. What a fun listen!
Bernadette Dunn, as always does an excellent job at the narration. She brings all the crazy characters to life.
