Hen Of The Baskervilles (2013) - Plot & Excerpts

The town of Caerphilly, Virginia is hosting a fair and Meg Langslow - blacksmith, wife, mother of toddler twins, and hobbyist farmer - is assistant director. Amidst preparations for opening day a vandal targets the fair and valuable chickens are stolen, a prize-worthy pumpkin is smashed, and a beautiful quilt is sullied. Soon afterward a straying husband is shot dead. The Caerphilly cops reluctantly team up with neighboring Clay cops to solve the crime and, of course, Meg helps investigate as well. I enjoyed this humorous, cozy mystery and learned something about heirloom species of animals as well. A good light read. A solidly entertaining outing in Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow mystery series, this story is set at the 'Un-Fair,' an exhibition featuring local crafts and heirloom/heritage breeds. I like how Andrews both incorporates the financial hardships many small communities are currently facing, and the creative ways in which her fictional Caerphillians are dealing with the situation. But as usual, the characters--in all their engaging quirkiness--are the most enjoyable aspect of the novel. Spending time with Meg Langslow and company is like spending time with old friends.
