As if Meg and Michael don't have their hands full with the twins, Meg's family and friends decide that their home is the perfect spot to store all the animals they have stolen from the local shelter because they are going to be destroyed. The animals were supposed to be taken right to new homes, but the driver, who knew which animals were going where, was murdered. So, Meg has a murder to solve while she waits for her family to sort out the animal problem and get the critters out of her home.
Review
Fun mystery! Even with the twins, Meg is able to put all the pieces together to figure out whodunit and save the day. As with any mommy-mystery situation, you have to suspend disbelief when Meg juggles the babies and her sleuthing, but Meg is such a great character, I found that easy to do.
Every time I read one of Meg's stories, though, I have to work hard to set aside my great annoyance at Meg's family who have NO boundaries whatsoever. They think of no one but themselves and their personal agendas, no matter how inconvenient it might be to a new mom and dad and their 4-month-old twins. If Meg weren't so good-natured, I probably wouldn't be able to keep reading!
4 out of 5 stars
