The Good, the Bad, and the Emus by Donna Andrews

4.0

My first Meg Langslow in a while (I hate catching up to series and having to wait for sensible prices) and I'd almost (but not quite) forgotten how good these are. Having recently read a string of not very good cozy crimes, this has restored my faith in the genre. It's funny, it's well worked out and it's not repetitive. Or at least (most of) the usual gang of characters are here, getting up to their usual stuff but the setting is different and the murder is different. This is surprisingly rare in the genre - as is the fact that Meg's character continues to develop as her life moves on. Other writers could learn from this.
