Description: Meg Langslow and her boyfriend, Michael, are searching for some romantic alone time. She knows the perfect place for a private getaway: her aunt's cottage on the tiny island of Monhegan. But when a series of events leads to the couple being trapped in the cottage with her entire family, their private getaway vacation slowly turns into a disaster.

Meg doesn't think anything more could go wrong until a resident of the island with close ties to her mother is murdered. When her father becomes the chief suspect, she knows she can no longer sit by the cozy fireplace. In a dash to save her father and her weekend, Meg finds herself knee deep in murder once again.

My Thoughts: This second book in the Meg Langslow series has all the quirky characters of the first and the wonderful Meg too. 

Meg and Michael would like some alone time after being surrounded by her family since they met. Meg's aunt has a vacation home on Monhegan island off the coast of Maine which sounds like a perfect retreat. 

However, with a hurricane bearing down on the island, it might be just a little too fraught getting there for Meg's prone-to-seasickness self. And then once they do arrive, they find that Meg's parents, her brother, her aunt and Mrs. Fetterman are already in residence.

So much for alone time! 

When a famous artist who had a history with Meg's mother is found floating in a tide pool, Meg feels she has to investigate. After all, her father could be considered a prime suspect. It doesn't take much investigating to find that the artist had not endeared himself to anyone on the island. There are about as many suspects as there are island residents. 

With a hurricane isolating the island from help, it is up to Meg to find out who wanted the artist dead. Along the way she has to find a way to eliminate her father as a suspect and protect her mother's reputation. 

This story was a fun listen with Bernadette Dunne doing an excellent job with all the quirky characters.
