Another great installment with Meg and the gang!
One of my favorite cozy mystery series.
I always seem to learn something.

I just enjoy catching up With Meg and her chaotic family. I never tire of reading this series. From when Meg and Michael started dating, adding the twins and seeing Rob mature. It is like catching up with an old friend. This mystery has a mutt parade, mysterious bones and a runaway older lady. Add in all of the animals and mayhem of those Pruitts. One delightful read.

For Duck's Sake by Donna Andrews is an absolutely delightful new installment to her Meg Langslow mystery series. The book follows Meg as she is preparing for a dog parade called the "Mutt March" where they are hoping people can find pets that they can adopt. While the preparations for the Mutt March ara happening at Meg's there is a duck pond being built at her brother Rob's place. While the excavation is happening they find an old skeleton buried in the place where the pond is to be set. Meg must help the Mutt March and figure out who the skeleton was and who killed him.

The Meg Langslow mysteries hold a super special place in my heart because I've been reading them for so long and enjoy them just so much! This book was no exception. I loved revisiting old characters and the cute little setting. One thing I enjoy from these mysteries is that unlike others the characters move forward in time enough so that it feels like there is character development. I also love that the world keeps growing and we keep getting new characters while still getting information about the old cast. The mystery was also very fun! I thought I had solved it early in the book but was pleased to figure out that I was wrong.

I would recommend these books to anyone. I know the task of reading this far into a series seems daunting but you can honestly pick any of the books in the series and be totally fine. I recommend picking this one up because Donna Andrews just keeps getting better with her writing and I think this one is her best yet.

Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin's Press | Minotaur Books, and Donna Andrews for giving me the opportunity to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Another terrific entry in the long-running Meg Langslow series by Donna Andrews. In For Duck’s Sake, Meg’s family is excavating a duck pond when the bulldozer uncovers a skeleton. Meg and the town police set about figuring out who the body is and the circumstances of its burial, but everything is complicated by a massive pet adoption event being hosted by Meg’s town, friends, and family. The killer is unmasked and brought to justice, but as so often happens (at least in mystery books), a lot of other secrets are also exposed. It’s always fun to spend time in Meg’s world and catch up with characters who have become friends.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

One of my favorite series! This was another great book in the series. I love the characters and the new cases that find Meg in each book. Awesome job with the latest book in this phenomenal series.

For Duck’s Sake by Donna Andrews is the latest in the wonderful Meg Langslow mystery series. I was so excited to be able to read and review this book and I was not disappointed! Every year when a new book comes out in the series, it is like visiting with old friends. I love reading about Meg and her wonderful, quirky family. Donna Andrews never disappoints when it comes to the mystery either. I love figuring out the mystery with Meg and her crew and I absolutely love visits to Caerphilly! The Mutt March was a wonderful addition to the series and if every town worked together as well as Caerphilly our world would be a much better place. Thank you Donna Andrews for a wonderful book and a chance to escape to the wonderful world of Meg Langslow!

Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to review this book. All opinions are my own.

Perhaps not my favorite of the Meg Lanslow series (the ducks really only have a bit part that only seemed to serve the title), but this has everything we've come to expect. The nutty residents of Caerphilly, an extravaganza that somehow comes together, and Meg and family getting pulled into an unexplained death when a skeleton is unearthed during excavation for a duck pond.

Meg and her family and friends are trying to balance a large animal parade, solving an old murder case and drug deal. Really enjoy this series and author, and would highly recommend it. While it would be best to read earlier books first you can read this along. Fun read.

For Duck's Sake is a fun, fast paced cozy mystery filled with terrific characters that always bring a smile to my face.
Meg and her friends and family are preparing for the annual Mutt March, a huge parade featuring hundreds of dogs dressed in costumes, and they are all up for adoption.
Meg is also overseeing her brothers newest addition, a duck pond, so we all know where this is leading.
While digging the pond, a few bones are uncovered, and things grind to a halt.
Who do the bones belong to, how old are they, and more importantly, how did they get there?
As the story unfolds, so many secrets are revealed and Deputy Vern is worried that the bones belong to someone he knew years ago.
I love how everyone always comes together in these books,, each having their own unique role in solving any problems they encounter..
This book is a solid 5 stars, I absolutely loved it.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for selecting me to read an advanced copy of this book.

I devoured this book. I love this book, this whole series!. I love the characters, they feel so real & the animals, how they care for them. This book in particular since it has dogs as a major part of it. I hope to be Iris when I’m old. I love the ending.#ForDuck’sSake #NetGalley
