Description: Andrews soars into summer with a crafty new Meg Langslow mystery.

Gone Gull brings readers yet another knee-slapping adventure filled with New York Times bestselling author Donna Andrews’ cast of wacky characters.

Meg is spending the summer at the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center, helping her grandmother Cordelia run the studios. But someone is committing acts of vandalism, threatening to ruin the newly-opened center’s reputation. Is it the work of a rival center? Have the developers who want to build a resort atop Biscuit Mountain found a new tactic to pressure Cordelia into selling? Or is the real target Meg’s grandfather, who points out that any number of environmentally irresponsible people and organizations could have it in for him?

While Meg is trying to track down the vandal, her grandfather is more interested in locating a rare gull. Their missions collide when a body is found in one of the classrooms. Can Meg identify the vandal and the murderer in time to save the center’s name—while helping her grandfather track down and rescue his beloved gulls?

My Thoughts: This episode of the Meg Langslow mysteries has Meg and her family spending the summer at the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center helping her grandmother Cordelia. The center has been plagued with a variety of acts by vandals which threaten the future of the center. Suspects include a rival craft center and a developer who would like Cordelia to sell her land so that he can built a resort. 

Meg is trying to hunt down the vandals and smooth the waters are the various crafters bicker when things escalate. A painting instructor who is almost universally disliked is found murdered in his studio. Now Meg along with the local police are looking for a murderer among the teachers and students. Then there is a second murder. 

And, while all this is going on, Meg's grandfather is on the hunt for a rare gull whose picture had been taken by the first murder victim. 

This was another fun episode in a long-running mystery series.
