This one got a little convoluted--there were so many suspects, and they didn't really narrow them down until the very very end. But still a good time.

This was a fun Meg Langslow cozy mystery! Meg is playing extreme croquet out in a cow pasture because this is what they do in Caerphilly, Virginia for fun. While she’s out there, unfortunately, she discovers a dead body, and after the police question everyone at the site and no one seems to know who the dead woman is, it eventually turns out she’s one of

Spoiler

Michael’s exes.

Awkward.

This is where the story takes some interesting twists and turns. There are boxes and boxes of historical documents, a historical society up in arms, a strip mall that no one wants built nearby, and of course, the croquet game. But how does it all tie in together? As always, the quirky characters and zany situations are the fun of this book. I always enjoy reading Meg’s adventures and seeing what her family is up to next.
