Six Geese A-Slaying by Donna Andrews
4.0
Six Geese A Slaying by Donna Andrews is a 2008 Minotaur publication.
“Meg, something’s wrong with Santa.”
Meg has volunteered to organize the Christmas parade-a chore she didn’t realize required so much effort. But whatever helps Michael gain tenure…
The theme for the parade is The Twelve Days of Christmas, and like all good holiday parades, Santa will be there to hear the children’s Christmas requests.
Naturally, things go horribly awry when ‘Santa’ is found murdered!!
As you know, I am slowly reading through this series, in order. With so many installments, I got a little mixed up on which book came next in the series and accidentally skipped this one. I realized my mistake immediately, and corrected the issue, but was a little disappointed when I realized the next book in line had a Christmas theme because after my holiday reading marathon in December, I’m pretty burned out on Christmas stories.
But because it has been a long time since I touched base with Meg, and because I needed to read a book that was sure to make me laugh, I decided to suck it up.
Turns out, I made the right decision! Meg is, as always, hysterically funny. The holiday parade was outrageously madcap, and as always, the characters are quirky and comical. The mystery is also an exceptional whodunit, but of course, the holiday theme adds just a dash of extra magic and charm to this installment in the series.
I really must touch base with Meg more often!
