Resumen del Editor
When her old friend Karen drops by with her two-year-old son, Meg Langslow reluctantly agrees to babysit. But when night falls, the toddler is still in residence, and Karen isn't answering her phone. Concerned, Meg spends the next morning retracing her friend's steps - and what she discovers makes her begin to suspect that Karen has either been killed or kidnapped or is on the run. Since the police don't seem to care, Meg once again plays sleuth - this time with a toddler in tow and with her extended family, as usual, complicating everything.
In this outrageous book of feathered fun, Donna Andrews once again proves her skill as one of the funniest, most entertaining mystery authors around.

Historia
Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. In her small Virginia hometown, she's the maid of honor at the nuptials of three loved ones - each of whom has dumped the planning in her hands. One bride is set on including a Native American herbal purification ceremony while another wants live peacocks on the lawn. But when an offensive newcomer, who hints at skeletons in the guests' closets, is found dead under suspicious circumstances, level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arrangements and bridal registries to catching a killer - before the next event is her own funeral.

A renaissance fair is coming to the relatively quiet college town of Farberville, Arkansas. Though resistant to getting involved, Claire Malloy, local bookseller and mother of the perpetually petulant teen Caron, finds herself drawn into the strange inner workings of the group putting on the fair. But a dark mood falls over the festivities when one of the organizers is a victim of arson, and her body is found in the burned wreckage of her rented house.

Historia
Regulars at Nadia’s nature lodge don’t ask what she does in the off-season. And that’s a good thing. If she told them, she’d have to kill them. She’s a hit woman for a Mafia family. Tough and self-sufficient, Nadia doesn’t owe anyone any explanations. But that doesn’t mean she always works alone. One of her contacts has recruited her in the hunt for a ruthlessly efficient serial killer cutting a swath of terror across the country. The assassin is far too skilled to be an amateur - and the precision of the killings is bringing the Feds much too close to the hit man community for comfort.

Recently widowed Jillian Hart is rebuilding a life for herself and her three beloved cats - Chablis, Syrah, and Merlot - as a quilter in a small South Carolina town. The quilts she makes are for cats as smart, special, and sweet as her own, and business is thriving. But when she returns from an overnight quilting show, she discovers Chablis sneezing - and since Chablis is allergic to humans, that can only mean one thing: Someone has broken into her house. When she realizes her Abyssinian, Syrah, is missing, Jillian suspects catnapping. Spurred by Chablis and Merlot’s mournful meowing, she investigates - and discovers more missing cats and a murder.

It was inescapably chilling, as if the murderer was methodically working his way down a page torn from the phone book. The three victims brutally killed in their own homes had one thing in common: They were all listed as M. Douglas. The fact that Mara Douglas is next on the list has her jumping at shadows, until FBI agent Aidan Shields shows up to make sure she doesn't become the fourth victim.

Meg gets a toddler dumped on her
In Cockatiels at Seven by Donna Andrews, Meg and Michael have returned from their honeymoon and back to the real world. Just as Meg is getting started again in her blacksmithing work while Michael attends orientation at Caerphilly College where he teaches in the drama department, an acquaintance she hasn’t seen in over a year, Karen, stops by with her toddler son and begs Meg to take care of Jimmy for just a short while. Then she proceeds to give Meg a whole notebook full of instructions on Jimmy’s care and numerous outfits of clothing and other supplies. But as the morning passes, Karen doesn’t show up to pick up Jimmy. As the day grows longer, Meg begins to become alarmed and starts trying to locate Karen, whose phone keeps going to voice mail. By the next next morning, with still no response from Karen, Meg decides to go to Karen’s house to try to locate the missing mother, only to learn that Karen has moved out of her previous home and into the local projects. But when Meg arrives at Karen’s new home, she finds the police there. Karen is not there, but her ex-husband is, the victim of murder.
Meg spends the next few days sleuthing to try to locate Karen, which of course includes sleuthing into the murder of Jasper. The police seem uninterested in the missing mother, so Meg feels that she must do her part to get to the bottom of things, which include figuring out what potentially criminal activity Jasper might have been into. In the midst of her own work, Meg notices her father and newly-located grandfather sneaking around, and they keep bringing new animals into her home, and Meg is less than excited about the emerald tree boa who needs help with shedding. But suddenly cages of birds start showing up too. What are they up to?
This book, as with all of the Meg Langslow books, never ceases to delight. The wild activities that all the characters get into add to the fun, and as usual, the book concludes with a madcap ending facing down the murderer. I really enjoy the characters in this series, who are drawn very creatively and with great fun. Meg’s family comes across as so lively and makes you really want to meet them. Her father and grandfather especially are a hoot, which is the perfect description for a series with puns about birds in all its titles.
The only issue I have with this book is that the speech of Jimmy, whom Meg guesses to be about two, is irregular in its levels of maturity. Sometimes he sounds too old for two and sometimes too young. But this does not get in the way of enjoyable listening.
Bernadette Dunne narrates the audio version of this book, which was just released. I really like her voice and the job that she does in her performances of these books. She really suits the role of Meg, who narrates the book. The voices she gives to each of the characters fits them well too.
I’m a big fan of Donna Andrews’s bird series, and this book did not disappoint. I had a great time listening to the book and look forward to the audio release of more of this series. I give the book five stars!

Too much toddler
in general good and humorous but although Bernadette did her usual fantastic performance and was a quite credible toddler, the toddler portion seemed overdone.

Not my favorite of the bunch
verbal-humor, situational-humor, amateur-sleuth, cozy-mystery
Funny, a decent plot with plenty of twists and red herrings, but the the cockatiels don't make it to the party. Didn't like it as much as most others in the series but I think that's just me.

Any additional comments?
I enjoy this series and have read/listened to all the books more than once. I am truly hoping that Audible will continue to give us the rest of the series. I'm holding my breath for "Six Geese" and "Stork"!

Thoroughly enjoyable and recommended
When her friend Karen drops by with her two-year-old son Timmy asking that Meg Langslow babysit “just for a little while,” Meg takes on the challenge. After all, what’s so hard about playing with a toddler? Meg puts away the blacksmithing project she’d just begun in preparation for a craft show, and goes through what Karen left with Timmy, finding several sets of clothes, diapers, bedding, Timmy’s favorite blanket, and a bedraggled stuffed kitty named Kiki. After dinner, Timmy is still with the Langslows, and Karen isn’t answering Meg’s phone calls.
When Karen hasn’t shown up for Timmy by morning, Meg begins to investigate. Taking Timmy with her, she starts her search by visiting Karen’s workplace in the financial offices of the college. A paranoid supervisor is more intent on where Timmy’s hands are going than talking about Karen. Later a co-worker pulls Meg aside and confides that something is seriously wrong. Police are raiding Karen’s rundown apartment when Meg arrives. She chides Chief Burke for treating Karen like a criminal when she is missing. Karen’s ex-husband had supposedly left town, but perhaps he has taken her. Could Timmy be the target of kidnappers? Could Karen be hiding from bad guys? Could she be a bad guy?
Meg continues to follow clues with the help of her large extended family. Meg’s brother Rob has been slowly moving into a third floor bedroom and has been missing for blocks of time. Meg’s dad and her newly discovered grandfather, Dr. Montgomery Blake, renowned zoologist, have been hiding some finches on the third floor and snakes in the basement. Meg learns of an old bird farm out in the country next door to a relative of Karen’s husband. Just what has her father been up to? Meg seems to be one step ahead of Chief Burke at every new discovery.
Babysitting alone is topic for a funny mystery, but Donna Andrews has expounded on this theme in so many ways. Embezzling, kidnapping, killing, and real estate schemes round out this zany story. While being hilariously funny, this ninth outing of Meg Langslow and family are a tad less madcap. With the welfare of a child at stake, the investigators are following all leads. They can’t control the trouble they get into checking them out!
Thoroughly enjoyable, and highly recommended.
