Owls Well that Ends Well (Donna Andrews)

Summary:
Meg Langslow is at it again. As usual, she finds a dead body, this time in an old trunk someone is trying to sell at the huge yard sale at her house. In previous books, Meg and her boyfriend, Michael, bought themselves a house full of crap, and in this book, they're getting rid of the crap they don't want in a giant yard sale. Meg's family all brought their own crap over to sell too, so the yard sale takes up most of Meg's back yard, and draws the entire town out to see what they have to offer. The biggest ass of the bunch, an antiques buyer and seller, gets on everyone's last nerves, and winds up dead. Of course, Meg gets in on the investigation and once again winds up in trouble.

Thoughts:
It's another testament to the crazies with this book. You know the old saying, "write what you know?" Well, if that's what Ms. Andrews goes by, it's clear that she has all kinds of ridiculous relatives and friends in her life. After each installment of the Meg Langslow series, you don't think there could be more ludicrous circumstances, but then you crack the next cover and though you can't fathom it, but it's happened again. And yet, with Meg's nutty family, you actually believe it.
