Description: Meg is Team Mom, and Michael is coach of their twin sons' youth baseball team, the Caerphilly Eagles. Meg tangles with Biff Brown, the petty, vindictive league head. On opening day Biff's lookalike brother is found dead in the porta-potty at the ball field. So many people think Biff's scum that it would be easy to blame him, but he has an alibi - and Meg suspects he may actually have been the intended victim.
With Die Like an Eagle, listeners can look forward to another zany Meg Langslow mystery - this one filled with the spirit of America's pastime and Donna's eagle eye.
My Thoughts: Die Like an Eagle is the 20th book in the Meg Langslow Mystery series. This time it centers around the great game of baseball. Meg and Michael's twins are in a coach-pitch summer league and having lots of fun.
But Biff Brown who is the league head isn't making it fun for the parents. From crazy rules to restricted practice times to a poorly maintained field and facilities, those who aren't already intimidated by Biff's vindictive tactics are afraid to make any moves against him.
Meg is already looking for Biff to discuss town business since his construction company is supposed to be rehabbing the town square before the next local holiday. Her calls and emails are going unanswered, and she is getting very frustrated with him.
When a body is discovered in Biff's noxious porta potty at the ball field, Meg at first thinks it's Biff. Turns out that it is Biff's lookalike half-brother and frequent game umpire who is the victim. But who would want him dead when Biff has so many enemies?
Meg has to track down the killer if she wants the Founders' Day baseball tournament to go on. And she has to track down Biff to get him to fulfill his contract with the city or step aside so someone else can do the job.
This was another excellent entry into the long-running series filled with the usual eccentrics and the usual humor.
