Toucan Keep a Secret

Book Jacket for: Toucan keep a secretIt seems like I’m always writing about a new Donna Andrews mystery.  I guess that speaks to the fact that I generally like her work.  I find it amusing and entertaining, just the thing for a bit of escapism.  Toucan Keep a Secret, is no exception.  Meg Langslow and her eccentric family return.  This time Meg is working in the local church to help the Reverend who is on maternity leave when she stumbles across the body of a curmudgeonly patron in the crypt, er columbarium.  Also found with the corpse is a very elaborate ring which turns out to be from a collection stolen years earlier.  So Meg must find out who killed an unpleasant old man while also unraveling a years old crime.

As always the story is light-hearted and quick to read.  Recommended for that break from your daily routine.
