Meg Langslow is spending the summer at the Biscuit Mountain Craft Center, helping her grandmother Cordelia run the studios. But someone is committing acts of vandalism, which threaten 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 (and also help her grandfather track down and rescue his beloved gull)?

I generally love this series but I found the "who done it" in this one not quite believable.

lots of red herrings

Donna Andrews has penned another excellent installment in the Meg Langslow series. With all the zany characters of previous installments, this one is sure to please cozy mystery fans. I highly recommend this book/audiobook.

Another excellent installment

Another good mystery full of laughs! There is suspense, plot twists, and all of the characters truly are. It takes place in the summer in a nearby county at a newly renovated craft school complete with accommodations and campground. Loved it!
Bernadette Dunne is perfect as narrator!

IS the particular gull extinct?

I love how Donna wrote this one with so many complications as far as the relationships and how each character related to the other if you’re not paying attention, you can definitely get lost and who did what and who said what and how what was done but the description of the facial expressions and the complication of the relationship shows you that there can be something going on in the future with the different characters and how they will be played out in the future as their commitments and relationships to one another I really like that part it’s not as funny as crouching Buzzard, but it was really good. I would like to see a little Writing. Onto the next book.

In Gone Gull by Donna Andrews, Meg Langslow is helping her grandmother, Cordelia, open a craft center on Biscuit Mountain. Because of other groups that have taken advantage of artisans, artists have expressed reluctance to get involved until Meg and her entire family sign up to teach classes in things like blacksmithing, nature photography, flower arranging, and children’s theater. Soon artisans of all media sign up to teach, and Cordelia succeeds in hiring an amazing chef to make things even more desirable for students. But when the students and teachers arrive for their first week, a vandal damages work in many of the art rooms. Meg works hard to prevent more problems during the second week, and in the midst of her rounds early one morning, she comes upon the stabbed body of the rude and abrasive painting teacher, Edward Prine.

This starts an investigation into the murder, enlisting Meg’s medical examiner father, her crime scene investigator cousin Horace, and her computer technician nephew. In the meantime, Meg’s famous zoologist grandfather discovers that a painting by Prine was modeled after some gulls thought to be extinct 100 years earlier. So Dr. Blake spends his time wildly chasing after this gull.

Gone Gull is certainly a fun book in its continuation of the Meg Langslow series. However, it lacks some of the special touches of the other books, especially since it doesn’t contain some of the previous beloved characters and gives others only small roles. I did not find the conclusion as satisfying as other books in this series, either.

Bernadette Dunne performs the audio edition of this book and makes it highly enjoyable. I have loved all her performances of this series, but she seems to get better as the series progresses. She continues to use effective voices for each character and strong expressions.

Gone Gull was a good book, especially compared to other books by writers other than Andrews, but it does not measure up to the high quality of the series in general. I still highly enjoyed the book and give it four stars.

The usual characters make this a comfortable read but the slow start means you have to be patient longer than usual for this series. It dies pick up as time goes on and has an interesting denouement at the end.

Improves as story progresses

Meg, Langeloh and her characters are so fun. I’ve enjoyed all of her books so far. Yes, I’m one who reads them straight through except for the Christmas ones. I prefer the books in the series that are located in the town she lives. This book was located in an alternative site. Still, it had lovely characters, an interesting plot, and I wasn’t able to figure out the villain in time. Maybe you will be.
