Murder with Puffins review


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.
