The 26th book and the sixth Christmas mystery in the Meg Lansglow series, Owl Be Home for Christmas, is yet another wonderfully merry and funny book from New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews.

It's a few days before Christmas, and Meg's grandfather is hosting a scientific conference on owls at the Caerphilly Inn. Most of the family are there, helping out in one capacity or another, including Meg's grandmother, Cordelia--invited by Grandfather in rare gesture of peace-making, to share her expertise on rehabilitating large birds, including owls. An unexpectedly severe snowstorm traps the conference-goers in the hotel, and one of the visiting ornithologists is murdered. Even if Caerphilly is able to clear the roads in time, Chief Burke doesn't want the various suspects to scatter to half a dozen continents before he identifies the killer, so there's a very real possibility that none of them will make it home for Christmas . . . at least not unless Meg comes to the rescue.

Full of intrigue and snow, this Christmas mystery will take readers home to Caerphilly for Christmas.

It is once again Christmas in Caerphilly and Meg is in the midst of family chaos. This year her grandfather is hosting a conference on owls at the Caerphilly Inn and Meg is in charge of most of the details. Confiscating live owls and placating one very unpleasant conference attendee is par for the course but then there is a huge blizzard trapping the guests at the Inn and to top it off there is a murder. 

There is always a certain amount of chaos when the Langslow family gathers and Christmas seems to up the ante making these some of the most enjoyable entries in the series. As usual the action, murder to solution, takes only a few days and I really hadn’t pegged the murderer earlier than the denouncement.

I really enjoy this series, I am reveling in my reread from the beginning as I eagerly await the August release of For Duck’s Sake the newest in the series. The whole series is highly recommended and I may just start over from the beginning again once I get to book 38. ~~ Stephanie L Bannon
