I love the Meg Langslow mysteries and the 35th installment is no exception. This time there is a reality show that has come to Caerphilly to “fix” a house but process stalls when someone releases dozens of turkeys in the property: While trying to round up all the turkeys Meg finds the body of the owner of the house and she must help figure out who did it. I was laughing out loud at the antics of the characters and enjoying myself immensely the whole time. This series made me fall in love with cozy mysteries and every time a new one comes out it just reminds me of why that was. If you get a chance to read the whole thing, go for it but if you can only read this one that is fine too because it holds up as a standalone. I highly recommend! 

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, Minotaur Books, and Donna Andrews for letting me review an advanced copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
