Meg Langslow and Michael's house is serving as the marshalling point for the annual Caerphilly holiday parade. The theme is the 12 Days of Christmas, and it features 12 drummers from the school's marching band, 11 bagpipers, 10 leaping lords costumed in medieval finery from the college's drama department, and so on. There are also assorted floats, a live nativity scene on a flatbed truck, the three wise men on Caerphilly Zoo camels, and Santa in a bright-red horse-drawn sleigh.
As the organizer, Meg's job is already hard enough, but when her nephew Eric, wide-eyed and ashen-faced, whispers, "Something's wrong with Santa...", things take a tragic turn. It turns out that the local curmudgeon, whose beard and belly made him a natural for the role, has been murdered. Now it's up to Meg and Chief Burke, who is playing one of the wise men, to tackle a twofold mission: solve the murder and save Christmas.

I love this series

Once I’ve finished with the English manors, grand house parties, and social graces, it’s time to laugh out loud as I re-listen to every Meg Langslow Christmas mystery the talented Donna Andrews has written.
Six Geese a-Slaying might just be the funniest of the bunch. I have listened to it many times, but the asides and sly comments still make me laugh like the first time I read the book. Listening to Bernadette Dunne narrate makes these charming books even funnier.
I could go on, but I have Duck the Halls queued up and ready to play. (Like Six Geese, Duck the Halls also features Chief Henry Burke and his wife Minerva, and the comedic factor goes up, up, up when the dry humor of Chief Burke is front and center.)
Thank you, Donna Andrews. Keep the laughs coming!
Always Fun to Indulge in a Meg Langslow Christmas Mystery
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The town’s curmudgeon who is to play Santa arrives in the nick of time to change into his costume in Meg’s pig shed just cleaned to hold the hand-painted sleigh. Meg’s nephew Eric whispers to her that something is wrong with Santa. As she opens the shed door, she is taken aback by Santa’s appearance; there’s a stake through his heart.
Thankfully Chief Burke is already at the parade site and rushes to the crime scene. They want to preserve the crime scene, but they also don’t want word of Santa being killed to get out and scare the children. Acting medical examiner Dr. Smoot has his usual difficulty entering the shed because of his claustrophobia. As the snow begins to fall, the parade does take off, on time, with Meg’s dad joyfully playing Santa. What else could go wrong?
If one is familiar with Donna Andrews’ writing, you already know that plenty can still go wrong. The hilarity is not confined to the beginning of this laugh-out-loud mystery. The parade may make it to town, but then what, with the snow flying, and animals looking for shelter, and all the humans trying to make their ways home for Christmas?
This book is number 10 in the Meg Langslow series, and it is a terrific parody of Christmas parades, oops, holiday parades trying to do it all. Tie that with a good mystery with a few twists, and readers will find themselves smiling through the book’s surprise revelations nearing the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this entry and highly recommend it.

Another hilarious adventure

A 12 Days of Christmas themed holiday parade, twin blizzards, a Santa from he!!, a Richmond reporter from he!!, and 37 people in geese costumes are Meg's burdens upon getting railroaded into being the parade organizer. A murder with too many suspects really makes things incredible, yet the laughs just keep on coming!
Narrator Bernadette Dunne is perfect for this author's work!
Another excellent cozy!
