Meg and Michael try to vacation together on an island in her
Aunt Phoebe’s house. It turns out that
the family is already there. A storm
hits, the dad disappears to watch the storm hit the harbor, and a murder is
committed. Once again, no one misses the
dead guy. He tended to shoot at people
and electrocute the wildlife (puffins). They cannot reach the authorities on the
mainland until the weather clears. Meg
decides to investigate. They end up with
a dead puffin, nude paintings of her mother, a strange biography, and an estate
developer as clues that lead in a roundabout way to the killer.
A good book to laugh at the quirkiness of Meg’s family and
the island inhabitants. The funniest of
all have to be the bird watcher tourists who swarmed onto the island and pop up
everywhere.
