The Penguin Who Knew Too Much

By: Donna Andrews

Narrated by: Bernadette Dunne

Maybe there are people in Antarctica with penguins in their basements, but in Virginia? Finding a body down there is somewhat more likely for Meg. Explaining the penguins' presence is easy; Meg's dad volunteered to take care of the birds until the future of the bankrupt local zoo could be determined. But identifying the body in the basement proves a harder task. Meg and Michael have been planning to elope to avoid the elaborate wedding their mothers have begun to organize; a plan that's threatened by both the murder investigation and the carnival of animals. The only way to set things right, Meg decides, is to identify both their uninvited visitor and the killer who put him in their basement.

Great book

Over the top good. I love this author. Got her 1st book on sale & haven't stopped buying her books . Funny, mystery & lots of family and relationships . The characters are well developed and new ones introduced all the time.

From The south

In response to the reviewer who had a problem with the word library. Have you ever been to tha liberry in the south. Especially in Virginia.

Best cozy mystery series!

The Meg Langslow series is my very favorite cozy mystery series. The characters are funny and diverse and Meg, with her trusty notebook-that-tells-her-when-to-breathe, oversees them all. And it takes an organized person when, in the family, a 'bad patch' could be anything from "brief cash-flow problems or minor marital discord up to a felony conviction with a sentence of twenty to life."

These are books I listen to again and again and I'm so glad they are going back and recording the older ones (like this one) in the series!

All in all, you can't go wrong with Meg and the gang, so give it a try. You won't be sorry!

Makes murder light-hearted

As usual, she kept me guessing on whom the murderer was by introducing me to several suspects along with several animals as well.

A Fun One

More adventures of Meg and her crazy family. Any further details would spoil previous installments.
