Lark! The Herald Angels Sing

Author:
Donna Andrews
Narrator: Bernadette Dunne
Series: Meg Langslow (Book 24)
Publication: Dreamscape Media (October 16, 2018)
Length: 8 hours and 46 minutes

Description: It's Christmas time in Caerphilly, and the town is preparing for their live nativity. During rehearsals, Meg discovers a real baby in the manger, with a note attached that says the mother is leaving the baby girl there so that her father can take care of her, and the wording of the note implicates Meg's brother, Rob, as the father.

Rob protests that he can't possibly be the father, but the town's suspicion creates a rift between him and his new girlfriend. Rob asks Meg to investigate on his behalf‚ to clear his name and to find the real parents of the baby.

But every day that passes without answers is another day that spoils everyone's enjoyment of the holiday and drives the wedge between Rob and his girlfriend deeper. As Meg gets further into her investigation, she discovers the found baby is connected to something much bigger, a crime that will need to be stopped by Meg and her motley crew to save the holidays for everyone.

My Thoughts: The 24th book in the Meg Langslow mystery series begins with rehearsals for the children's Christmas pageant and the discovery of a live baby in the manger. The baby has a note attached indicating the Meg's brother Rob is the father. 

Rob is trying to find just the right way to propose to his girlfriend Delaney and this discovery which is false has ignited Delaney's temper. Between trying to soothe Delaney's wounded feeling and discover the identity of the baby, Meg has her hands full.

The found baby who they call Lark because of a note attached to her blanket is the key to crimes going on in nearby Clay County. Solving a crime, reuniting the family, getting Rob and Delaney back together will call on all of Meg's ingenuity and the help of many of the colorful characters who live in Caerphilly.

This was another fast-paced and funny mystery ably narrated by Bernadette Dunne.
