Meg is relaxing in the hammock, taste-testing Michael's latest
batch of Arnold Palmers and watching the hummingbirds at their
feeders when her hopes for a relaxing early summer morning are
dashed. First her father recruits her to help him install a new
batch of bees in the hive in her backyard. Then Mayor Shiffley
recruits her to placate the NIMBYs (Not in my backyard), as she
calls them - a group of newcomers to Caerphilly who have built
McMansions next door to working farms and then do their best to
make life miserable for the farmers. And finally Meg's grandmother,
shows up, trailed by a nosy reporter who is writing a feature on
her for a genteel Southern ladies' magazine. Cordelia drafts Meg to
accompany her and Deacon Washington of the New Life Baptist Church
- and the reporter, alas - in their search for a long-lost
African-American cemetery. Unfortunately what they discover is not
an ancient cemetery but a fresh corpse. Can Meg protect her
grandmother - and Caerphilly - from the reporter who seems to see
the worst in everything . . . and help crack the case before the
killer finds another victim?
The primary aim of Taking Control of Your Seizures: Workbook is to
improve the lives of patients with seizures. Both epileptic
seizures and nonepileptic seizures (NES) are prevalent and
potentially disabling. The Workbook is designed to be used by a
patient with seizures in conjunction with his or her counselor. The
Workbook contains step-by-step guidelines that enable patients to
take control of their seizures and their lives. The companion
Treating Nonepileptic Seizures: Therapist Guide enhances
effectiveness by providing session-by-session instructions for
counselors who use the Workbook with patients with NES. The authors
developed this treatment approach based on extensive clinical
experience and research with epilepsy and NES. Many patients who
have completed the Taking Control process experience fewer
seizures, reduced symptoms, and a greater sense of well-being.
Meg and Michael's annual holiday celebration is well underway, with
a throng of out-of-town relatives staying at their house. Hosting
these festivities is a little harder than usual - they have to
relocate all the events normally held in their library, currently
occupied by Roderick Castlemayne, the irascible wildlife artist
who's creating twelve paintings of birds to illustrate Meg's
grandfather's latest nature book. Then someone murders Castlemayne
in the middle of a blizzard and sets loose the birds he was
painting. Can Meg help the police crack the case before the killer
strikes again? This intrigue-filled Christmas mystery takes readers
home to Caerphilly to join in Meg's family's holiday celebration -
including, of course, another baffling mystery.
Dashing Through the Snowbirds is the next merry installment of
Donna Andrews's New York Times bestselling Meg Langslow mystery
series. Christmas in Caerphilly is wonderful! Unless you're a
Canadian whose inconsiderate boss is forcing you to spend the
holiday there, far from family and friends, with only a slim chance
of a white Christmas. Meg already has her hands full, trying to
make the season festive for the dozen programmers who are staying
with her and Michael while working on a rush project with her
brother's software company. At least it's an interesting project,
since the Canadian company is doing forensic genealogy and DNA
analysis. When the inconsiderate boss is found murdered, there are
too many suspects. Even before their Christmas in exile, his own
employees had plenty of motives, and the growing number of people
suing the company for faulty DNA analysis and invasion of their
genetic privacy include at least one notorious murderer. Can Meg
crack the case in time to keep the Yuletide bright?

Three Weddings...And a Murder
So far Meg Langslow's summer is not going swimmingly. Down in her
small Virginia hometown, she's maid of honor at the nuptuals of
three loved ones--each of whom has dumped the planning in her
capable hands. One bride is set on including a Native American
herbal purification ceremony, while another wants live peacocks on
the law. Only help from the town's drop-dead gorgeous hunk,
disappointingly rumored to be gay, keeps Meg afloat in a sea of
dotty relatives and outrageous neighbors.
And, in whirl of summer parties and picnics, Souther hospitality is
strained to the limit by an offenseive newcomer who hints at
skeletons in the guests' closets. But it seems this lady has
offended one too many when she's found dead in suspicious
circumstances, followed by a string of accidents--some fatal. Soon,
level-headed Meg's to-do list extends from flower arragements and
bridal registries to catching a killer--before the next catered
event is her own funeral...

Meg and Michael's house is serving as the marshaling point for
the annual Caerphilly Christmas parade. The theme is "The Twelve
Days of Christmas," and it features twelve drummers from the school
marching band, eleven bagpipers, and so on. As organizer, Meg's job
is hard enough. But when her nephew Eric, wide eyed and ashen
faced, whispers, "Meg, something's wrong with Santa," things take a
tragic turn. The local curmudgeon, whose beard and belly made him a
natural for the role, has been murdered. Now it's up to Meg and
Chief Burke to tackle the two-fold mission of solving the murder
and saving Christmas
This latest adventure from award-winning Donna Andrews is filled
with outrageous Christmas spirit and malice.
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.
New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews returns with
another Meg Langslow mystery written firmly in the grand tradition
of Agatha Christie's Christmas books (Toronto Globe and Mail)--Owl
Be Home for Christmas. It will take a large pair of eyes to solve
this Christmas mystery. . . It's a few days before the 25th 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 a 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, lo and behold, 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, that is, unless Meg can find a way to swoop down and
make sure that justice is served.
The latest installment in the Chesapeake Crimes mystery series
focuses on working stiffs-literally Included in this collection are
new tales by: Shari Randall, C. Ellett Logan, Karen Cantwell, E. B.
Davis, Jill Breslau, David Autry, Harriette Sackler, Barb Goffman,
