Booklist Review

Meg Langslow is at the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center to support her grandmother Cordelia's newly opened business and to teach Blacksmithing 101. However, a vandal is ruining both students' and teachers' work, and suspicion falls on the owner of the Jazz Hands Art Academy (he feels Cordelia is unfairly competing with him), a developer who would love to get his hands on Cordelia's land. Meg works to thwart the vandal, but when unpopular painting instructor Edward Prine is found murdered, members of various law-enforcement departments descend upon the center to protect the students and identify the killer. Is the vandal the same person as the murderer? Complicating matters, Meg's grandfather is pestering her to help him locate a group of gulls, a species thought to be extinct. Details concerning the running of a craft center frame the story, as Meg and her quirky family and friends save the day in this satisfying entry in Andrews' humorous, long-running cozy series.--O'Brien, Sue Copyright 2017 Booklist

Publisher's Weekly Review

In Agatha-winner Andrews's enjoyable 21st Meg Langslow mystery (after 2016's Die like an Eagle), a vandal is plaguing the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center, with such acts as strewing lingerie around a classroom and damaging artworks. Meg's spirited, iron-willed grandmother Cordelia, the center's owner, has her share of enemies, including a greedy developer who wanted to build a luxury resort on the site and the jealous owner of the Jazz Hands Art Academy outside Charlottesville, Va. Between playing referee to her ornery bird-enthusiast grandfather and Cordelia, Meg, who teaches blacksmithing at the center, is determined to keep these petty acts from ruining Biscuit Mountain's reputation. The stakes rise when Meg visits the studio of hotheaded painter Edward Prine and finds Prine lying dead on the floor with a knife stuck in his back. Witty prose and distinctive characters set this long-running series above the cozy pack. Agent: Ellen Geiger, Frances Goldin Literary Agency. (Aug.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

In her 21st outing (after Die Like an Eagle), Meg is helping out her grandmother at the newly opened Biscuit Mountain Craft Center. A spate of vandalism at the center keeps Meg occupied while her irascible grandfather hunts for a rare and elusive gull. But then a dead body turns up.
