Another great Meg Langslowe mystery. Always good to visit Caerphilly and the wacky cast of characters that Donna Andrews has created!

It’s always a pleasure to spend time with Meg and her family. An engaging plot that had me guessing until the end.

verbal-humor, situational-humor, family, family-dynamics, friendship, actors, university, reenactors, the-Scottish-play, theft, murder, investigation, Virginia, vandalism*****

The mysteries are always first rate and this one is no exception! This is a long-running series but a new reader can hop in at any time without missing a beat (WARNING: this series is addictive!).
This time the madness centers around a production of Macbeth with cast staying at blacksmith Meg and Professor Michael's residence, rehearsing nearby, and being beleaguered by vandalism, other faculty/the videographer/the goof heading up a re-enactment group, and the usual extended family. Oh, and a murder. Let the madness begin!
This cannot be an unbiased review because I reread some of them (the print copies walk away so now I have them in audio) and wait with bated breath for each new one
I requested and received a free ebook copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

Michael is directing "the Scottish play" for a D.C. playhouse. Meg and Michael have decided to have the rehearsals in Caerphilly so they don't have to move the family. Dealing with a lot of college politics, most of the actors living on their farm, and an odd group of people pretending to live in 11th century Scotland in the nearby woods is stressing everyone out.
When a loony "documentarian" is found dead after showing a raw cut of his documentary, Meg has to help the police discover who the murderer is.
I'm always concerned that a new book will signal the decline of a series. This book shows Andrews is as good as ever. Like most cozy mysteries it's a bit formulaic, but it maintains the expected humor and brings in new characters while keeping the usual "suspects" fresh. I love that the boys are growing up, and I don't mind that the older characters (including canines) have not aged. They are part of the charm of reading this series.
The mystery was excellent, I had no clue who the killer was until of course the person tried to kill Meg! I don't usually re-read books and hardly ever back to back. But once I finished this one, I went back to the beginning and started it again!

For once, I didn't zip through one of the books in this series. So many of the elements in this story have been used multiple times in the past, such as Michael and his students putting on a production. There wasn't enough originality in what cobbled the parts together to keep my attention as much as usual.

I think fans of the series will still get something out of the visit.

I received my copy from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Bard comes to Caerphilly and havoc reigns supreme. While Michael is producing Macbeth, Meg is dealing with a houseful of actors, a group of reenactors living on the farm in what is supposed to be an authentic Scottish encampment, and a film maker who sets to be everywhere. It’s no wonder Meg hasn’t got a moment to herself.

When the filmmaker is found murdered after showing his first cut of filming, Meg finds herself trying to figure which of the two remaining factions may have done the filmmaker in while keeping her family safe. If only the ghost of the film maker could speak.

This is book 29 in the series, how have I not found this series before now? But I do love discovering a new author and series where there is a binge worthy list of books that I can read. I’m in!

This is such an enjoyable series! I don't know how this author manages to keep this series so fresh and entertaining. Clever mystery involving reenactments, filmmakers and family members and as always Meg and her husband manage to get to the bottom of things before too many bodies pile up. Every time I read a book in this series I can't wait for the next! Thank you NetGalley for the advanced readers copy for review.

An enjoyable enough entry in this series-but as much as it pains me to say so, I think it's goose is cooked. The storylines are all starting to become repetitive and there isn't much new happening with the characters.

Meg has her hands full this summer - Michael is directing MacBeth and the entire cast is living at Meg's house during rehearsals. Add in an unpleasant film maker, some reenactors and unpleasant professors from the English Department and she is up to her ears in headaches. And then someone is murdered... Please join Meg and her extended family on this crazy romp guaranteed to leave you laughing (and a bit tired).

The only bad thing about a new Donna Andrews book is that after finishing one wants another one right away. As usual, the antics of Meg Langslow's clan are so fun to read.

This is the latest installment in the Meg Langslow series. I will admit Meg makes me tired. Her life is so busy and crowded with family and friends and this story is no exception. In this story it's summer and Meg has a Shakespeare production cast and crew camping out at her house for the summer. If that were the only people that would be enough but the college's history department has to get into the party too. Damien Goodwin wants to make a documentary of the summer production but it's not the film that everyone is expecting and it might have gotten him killed. There's murder, vandalizm, stolen cows, a few chickens and even some evil spells in this story. It's good to see our friends the Chief, Vern, Horace and Debbie Ann. The twins are growing up and Rose Noire is still growing herbs and flowers. Come enjoy another visit with our friends.

This is a quick light read. This book was sent to me buy Netgalley on Kindle for review. It is a character driven story with some twists and turns...try it

Thanks Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. Meg's husband is directing a play called Macbeth. Damien Goodwin was found murdered. With the list of suspects growing, it will be up to Meg to figure out who did it. This book kept me engaged from the beginning.

I received this book for an honest review from netgalley #netgalley

She's new to me author and this is the first book in the series that I'm reading but I didn't get to lost and I was able to catch up pretty quickly and I really enjoyed the characters in the plot in this book. ❤️

I enjoyed this book, I love this series. I did find that it reads a bit disjointedly, as the scenes jumped from one crime to the next but I still enjoyed it. I love the characters, it's great seeing Josh and Jamie grow up. #MurderMostFowl #NetGalley.

Another hit in the series. This one has Meg and Michael hosting actors for his production of Macbeth in and around the house. The woods has a camp of re-enactors. Both are causing problems. Like this one, but at times the red herrings were flying all over the place, and were hard to keep track of. Overall though, highly recommend this book, series and author. If you want a fun escape you can't go wrong with this one.

Murder Most Fowl is book 29 of the Meg Langslow Mysteries.

We find Meg busy having guests at her house who is part of her husband's movie crew. To make matters worse there is Damien, a filmmaker who becomes a nuance. He goes and embarrasses many of the people thereby showcasing footage he has been taking around the area.

The next day a body is found and it's Damien. However, solving his murder is not going to be easy.
Unfortunately, whoever murdered Goodwin also destroyed all the electronic devices on which his video was stored. So Caerphilly’s chief of police—and Meg—must rediscover the same secrets the filmmaker did if they want to catch a killer.

Great cozy mystery and one I would gladly recommend!
