The cast of Donna Andrewsâ New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery series is back for an unforgettable holiday story in The Twelve Jays of Christmas. Meg and Michaelâs annual holiday celebration is well underway, with a throng of out-of-town relatives staying at their house. Hosting these festivities is a little harder than usualâthey have to relocate all the events normally held in their library, currently occupied by Roderick Castlemayne, the irascible wildlife artist whoâs creating twelve paintings of birds to illustrate Megâs grandfatherâs latest nature book. Still, the celebrations continueâand the entire family rejoices to learn that Megâs brother Rob and his longtime fiancée Delaney have finally decided to tie the knot. Unfortunately, they decide to do this in the middle of Meg and Michaelâs annual New Yearâs bash, dashing their mothersâ hopes of planning the wedding to end all weddings. Delaneyâs mother sneaks into town so she and Megâs mother can secretly plot a way to talk the happy couple into having a big bash. Hiding her only adds to Megâs holiday stressâitâs almost a full-time job fending all the visitors who want to confront Castlemayneâreporters, bill collectors, process servers, and several ex-wives in search of unpaid alimony. Then someone murders Castlemayne in the middle of a blizzard and sets loose the birds he was painting. Can Meg help the police crack the case before the killer strikes again? Can she keep Christmas merry in spite of the body in the library? Can she negotiate a compromise between Rob and Delaney and their disappointed mothers? And can she recapture the twelve escaped jays before they begin nesting in the Christmas tree? This intrigue-filled Christmas mystery takes readers home to Caerphilly to join in Meg's family's holiday celebrationâincluding, of course, another baffling mystery.
