Summary:
"The cast of Donna Andrews’ New York Times bestselling
Meg
Langslow
mystery
series is back for an unforgettable holiday story in The
Twelve
Jays
of
Christmas
.
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. Still, the celebrations continue -- and the entire family rejoices to learn that Meg’s brother Rob and his longtime fiancée Delaney have finally decided to tie the knot. Unfortunately, they decide to do this in the middle of
Meg
and Michael’s annual New Year’s bash, dashing their mothers’ hopes of planning the wedding to end all weddings. Delaney’s mother sneaks into town so she and Meg’s mother can secretly plot a way to talk the happy couple into having a big bash. Hiding her only adds to Meg’s holiday stress -- it’s almost a full-time job fending all the visitors who want to confront Castlemayne -- reporters, bill collectors, process servers, and several ex-wives in search of unpaid alimony. 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? Can she keep
Christmas
merry in spite of the body in the library? Can she negotiate a compromise between Rob and Delaney and their disappointed mothers? And can she recapture the
twelve
escaped
jays
before they begin nesting in the
Christmas
tree? This intrigue-filled
Christmas
mystery
takes readers home to Caerphilly to join in
Meg
's family's holiday celebration -- including, of course, another baffling
