Through NetGalley, I received a free copy of ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHICKADEE (Book 36 of the Meg Langslow mystery series) by Donna Andrews in exchange for an honest review. Meg’s grandmother Cordelia has organized a conference at a local inn for those interested in the exoneration of innocents convicted of crimes. Though most of the attendees are interested in freeing friends or family members, some attendees are true crime enthusiasts, and some are trolls actively working to thwart justice. One such character’s actions spiral beyond the pale and result in him being kicked out of the inn and the conference. When his body is found the next morning, there are no shortage of suspects at the conference. Finding his killer will take a concerted effort of the usual team and a Christmas miracle.

I liked the book and enjoy the series. I recommend this book to fans of the series and the series to fans of cozy murder mysteries surrounding small towns, small venues, extensive families, birds, animals, and quirky characters.

Another excellent and amusing mystery by Donna Andrews. I don't know how she does it, but Donna Andrews manages to continuously write new books in this long running series that remain fresh, with plausible characters and crimes. Even though the location may be the same, there is more than enough new to keep the book interesting, and the mystery one that you don't want to stop reading. I read this book in one sitting.

At a conference dedicated to finding ways to overturn wrongful convictions organized by Meg's grandmother, an internet podcaster who is a born troll makes a major nuisance of himself, and gets kicked out of both the conference and the hotel. Being hated by a number of the people attending makes for a very large suspect pool when he turns up dead. Meg and friends are their usual competent selves making for an excellent read.

Another super fun entry in Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow series.
This time it is a Christmas setting.
All the family members are involved in the murder and Meg saves the day.
Recommended for fans of the series.
