Terns of Endearment (Meg Langslow Series #25)

by Donna Andrews

Overview

Terns of Endearment is a new side-splitting Meg Langslow mystery from award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews.

All aboard…for murder?

Meg Langslow is only too pleased to join her grandfather on a cruise ship vacation dedicated to lectures on birds and other environmental topics. But Meg’s vacation quickly becomes a nightmare when the ship breaks down and needs repairs…in the Bermuda Triangle. Ahoy!

If that, plus nursing an injured tern back to health, isn’t enough, a woman has jumped ship—leaving behind a note that reveals alarming details about her fellow writing-retreat members who are still onboard—and Meg’s grandfather’s assistant, Trevor, is now missing too. Suspicions are flying all around. . . Soon it’s up to Meg to swab the decks and solve this killer case before more bodies are swept to shore.

“Uproarious.”—Criminal Element

From the Publisher

Narrator Bernadette Dunne expertly establishes a personal connection between listeners and the passengers on a cruise ship that breaks down in the Caribbean. Meg Langslow and her family are well defined, as are the rest of the travelers, in particular the boorish "Three Stooges" and four women who are on a writer's retreat. When passenger Desiree St. Christophe, a notorious has-been romance writer, disappears and a suicide note is discovered, the captain refuses to investigate. Through Dunne’s seamless performance, listeners feel the passengers’ dread, disgust, and, finally, outrage over the incompetence of the cruise line. Dunne will have listeners cheering as they mutiny to fix solve the possible murder, along with the problems with the ship. V.M.G.
