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.

I must say this book has a wonderful storyline. It feels like the start of a series, with a freshness to it that usually doesn't happen in a long-lived series. I was kept guessing until the end of the book trying to figure out who dunnit?
This is well written and I was pleased with the narration of this story. I do recommend this to all of you who have enjoyed Meg's previous stories!
Book 20 and still going strong!

The next morning, the Eagles have the first game, against Brown’s Stoats, but one boy on the team complains that someone has occupied the Port-A-Potty all morning. Meg gets out her tools and opens the door, only to have a body slump over as it falls out of the Port-A-Potty. It seems to be Biff! However, the body’s cell phone rings, and when Police Chief Burke answers it, he hears the voice of Biff yelling. Meg has mistaken for Biff his half- brother, Shep Henson, who also was the umpire for his brother’s league. But did someone try to kill the umpire? Or was he mistaken for his decidedly unpleasant, even abusive, half- brother?
I love all the Meg Langslow books by Donna Andrews, but Die Like an Eagle ranks high in my list of favorites. The humor found in the whole series stands out especially well in this book. Just the premise that the entire family comes from out of town to watch coach- pitch baseball has a fun touch to it. Then, the excitement of Meg’s father, the medical examiner, and Horace, the crime scene technician, made me laugh: Not only do they get to watch baseball, but they get to participate in a crime scene, followed, hopefully, by baseball! Further, who would have thought that a mystery centered around a Port-A-Potty could be funny and clever?
Even if you haven’t read or listened to any of the previous books in this series, you will soon become invested in each of the characters and the setting of the book. We quickly join Meg’s mother in becoming charter members of NAFOB (Not a Friend of Biff) and cheer as the Summerball bigwig, Mr. Witherington, comes to side with the town against Biff. Shep’s ex-wife, Callie Peebles, adds all the more flavor, but what can you expect from a woman whose parents named her Caligula? But in the meantime, there is a murder to solve.
The audio edition is performed by Bernadette Dunne, who always brings joy to the listening experience. Her particular strength is the creative voices she uses for each character. We feel that we know each one by the voice Dunne uses for that person, and we don’t even need to hear her state which character is speaking in order to know which person it is.
I really loved the experience of listening to Die Like an Eagle. I have listened to it many times since it came out in 2016 and never fail to laugh out loud and enjoy the mystery and characters. I highly recommend this book to any and all. I give it five stars!
Fun with murder and baseball!

Summer in Caerphilly means grade school softball, but not everyone is sportsmanlike. Meg finds the body in the only latrine but even she isn't so sure that it's the intended victim. Too many suspects, lots of other issues, and then there's the family. Well, at least she's able to point out the perfect property for cousin Festus! Hope everyone enjoys this one as much as I did!
Bernadette Dunne continues to be excellent as narrator!
