Synopsis

"Listening to Bernadette Dunne perform the Meg Langslow audiobooks gives listeners a sense of coming home to a beloved family." —AudioFile on The Falcon Always Wings Twice

Meg is relaxing in the hammock, taste-testing Michael’s latest batch of Arnold Palmers and watching the hummingbirds at their feeders when her hopes for a relaxing early summer morning are dashed.

First her father recruits her to help him install a new batch of bees in the hive in her backyard. Then Mayor Shiffley recruits her to placate the NIMBYs (Not in my backyard), as she calls them – a group of newcomers to Caerphilly who have built McMansions next door to working farms and then do their best to make life miserable for the farmers. And finally Meg’s grandmother, shows up, trailed by a nosy reporter who is writing a feature on her for a genteel Southern ladies’ magazine.

Cordelia drafts Meg to accompany her and Deacon Washington of the New Life Baptist Church – and the reporter, alas – in their search for a long-lost African-American cemetery. Unfortunately what they discover is not an ancient cemetery but a fresh corpse. Can Meg protect her grandmother – and Caerphilly – from the reporter who seems to see the worst in everything . . . and help crack the case before the killer finds another victim?

A Macmillan Audio production from Minotaur Books.

Goodreads review by Holly on May 16, 2023

Bees, hummingbirds and murder! Another little cozy adventure with Meg Langslow and her family. This is #33 and I have only read a handful, but this was fine as a standalone.

I received an uncorrected audiobook ARC of “Birder, She Wrote” from NetGalley and Macmillan Audio/Minotaur Books in exchange for an honest review. With opening music reminiscent of a BritBox murder special, the author, Donna Andrews, really knows how to put a story together. Andrews is obviously know......more

Goodreads review by Karen on January 02, 2024

This is a cozy mystery series with a bit of humor. Apparently, this author likes to use bird puns when creating titles for her books. But… In this case, she used a pun on the wildly successful TV show, “Murder, She Wrote”… But… Oddly… This novel has very little to do with birders – although there is a g......more

Goodreads review by Bam cooks the books on August 01, 2023

**Happy Publication Day** 3-3.5 stars. This is a long-running cozy mystery series featuring amateur sleuth Meg Langslow and her family. I've only read a few previously and usually it's been the Christmas edition but took a chance on this one which works fine as a standalone. A lot of the story is abo......more

Goodreads review by Jeanie on August 01, 2023

I loved the Meg Lanslow series from the first book I read, and I love it more with each new one or each reread. Birder, She Wrote brings all the warmth and hilarity that we have come to expect of the series as well the twists that we can't predict. A delightful and fun addition to the series, Birder......more
