- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Meg Lanslow and her husband Michael Waterson are teaching blacksmithing and theater respectfully at Meg's grandmother Cordelia's art center in the mountains of Virginia called the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center. Her grandfather with his photographer assistant is teaching nature photography. But nowhere Meg goes that murder doesn't follow and soon the despised art teacher Edward Prine is found by Meg with a knife in the back.They were already dealing with a vandal who turned up the kiln and messed up the pottery, left the windows open on a rainy day and got the watercolors class's pictures destroyed, as well as poured paint on the art classes paintings, and then messed up the photography for the nature class, That was all last week. They had hoped the vandal left with those students. Then someone put S & M lingerie on the clotheslines in the children's theater class. Some of the teachers are new, but some are the same. The same with the students, which makes it hard to figure out who is doing the vandalism.Cordelia suspects that the Jazz Hands Company which holds a summer program is possibly behind the vandalism because they are threatening to sue her for opening a summer craft program in the area. The other suspect is Smith Corporation who wants to buy her land and develop it. They could be getting someone, either a student or teacher, to sabotage the Craft Center. Some of the teachers worked at the Jazz Hands Company at one point or another including Prine.Also, a few of the teachers were involved in a venture with Prine where they put in what money they could and worked if they couldn't contribute as much money. The idea was to open a craft store and cut out the middleman and make more profit for themselves. But Prine, who put the most money in cut out early, taking his money with him and the venture failed. Some are still in debt and haven't recovered from it and one lost his marriage to it.A student is killed in the pottery room and found by Meg. Then there's also the case of the picture Prine took of some gull's thought to be extinct that her grandfather wants her to figure out where they are. Between that and the vandalism and the murders, Meg's got her work cut out for her in this delightful mystery that will keep you guessing right up till the end. I give this book four out of five stars.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Author Donna Andrews has outdone herself yet again! It's another delightful mystery romp for hammer wielding, blacksmithing, mother of twins Meg Langslow. This time it all centers around her great-grandmother's craft retreat center. No rest for this crafty heroine!This is the 21st installment in the Meg Langslow mystery series and there's not a bad one in the bunch.Synopsis (from book's dust jacket):Meg Langslow is spending the summer at the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center, helping her grandmother Cordelia run the studios. But someone is committing acts of vandalism, threatening to ruin the reputation of the newly-opened center. Is it the work of a rival center? Have the developers who want to build a resort atop Biscuit Mountain found a new tactic to pressure Cordelia into selling? Or is the real target Meg's grandfather, who points out that any number of environmentally irresponsible people and organizations could have it in for him?While Meg is trying to track down the vandal, her grandfather is more interested in locating a rare gull. Their missions collide when a body is found in one of the classrooms. Can Meg identify the vandal and the murderer in time to save the center's name--while helping her grandfather track down and rescue his beloved gull?Gone Gull brings readers yet another knee-slapping adventure filled with Andrews' cast of wacky characters.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The newly minted Biscuit Mountain Craft Center has been experiencing a raft of vandalism. Meg Langslow is there to teach blacksmithing and support her grandmother, who owns Biscuit Mountain. When Meg discovers the body of one of the other instructors, she adds sleuthing to her list of duties.After twenty previous entries in the series, there aren't a lot of surprises here. Quirky, well-drawn characters--including much of the Langslow family--and deft plotting makes for a satisfying read.A lot of the charm is spending more time with Meg and company, but newcomers could definitely start here without being lost--and then go hunt up the rest of the series.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Meg and her family are at Biscuit Mountain, helping her grandmother Cordelia open her Craft Center. The first week was plagued with small, but annoying acts of vandalism. Is Cordelia's Craft Center being targeted by a rival or by the company wanting her property? When Meg finds the body of a particularly unpleasant art teacher with a knife in his back, Meg puts out the call to her large and multi-skilled family. Cousins are soon on the job, helping to solve the mystery and save Cordelia's business. This latest installment in the Meg Lanslow series continues to entertain and entrance. I especially loved the ending...perfect!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love this series not only because the mystery plots are rarely disappointing, but because most of all I love Meg and her entire crazy family. They are more connected than the mafia and more generous and organised than the Red Cross. It might be stretching the boundaries of belief, but it's a wonderful stretch. The setting of this one didn't wow me much - I prefer Caephilly - but the mystery got me; I never even considered the character in plain sight. And the final scene when the gulls surround Meg's grandfather... that was kind of awesome. So was the little pine tree that could. Can't wait for the next one!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Murder has never been funnier than it is in the hands of Donna Andrews and her creation Meg Langslow. Andrews is as reliable as they come when you are looking for a fun cozy mystery to settle down with. Gone Gull is another winner!Gone Gull sees Meg Langslow out of Caerphilly and up on Biscuit Mountain helping grandmother Cordelia get her craft center studios running. Acts of vandalism are upsetting the students and the teachers. As Meg begins to compile a list of suspects, the case becomes more serious when a body is discovered. Are the crimes related or coincidental? The list of suspects and targets is dizzying. A rival center? A greedy developer? Personal rivalries and vendettas? In the midst of all this, Meg’s grandfather is hot on the trail of a breed of gull long thought extinct. But is her grandfather a target, or a suspect? And can Meg unravel it all in time to save Cordelia’s studio from bankruptcy and keep her family safe?The seemingly endless clan of Langslow relatives are both a tremendous resource and an incredible distraction. It is spending time with these looney and resourceful people that makes these books fly by and keep a smile on your face the whole time. Half of Meg’s time is spent trying to solve the crime and the other half corralling her wayward family, particularly her irascible, curmudgeonly grandfather.Andrews keeps the pages turning with suspects, new motives and theories, red herrings and dead ends before ultimately arriving at the solution. She juggles a large and familiar cast while introducing a fair share of new and interesting characters, both enjoyable and despicable. Chapters end on mini cliff-hangers that defy you to put the book down.Gone Gull will satisfy long-time fans and win legions of new ones. There is satisfaction in following Meg’s adventures from the beginning, but there is enough exposition in each book that new readers can jump in at any point. Either way you choose to experience it, you are in for a treat. Highly recommended!I was fortunate to receive an advance copy of this book
