A Mystery from Suzanne

Murder with Puffins
 (Meg Langslow, Bk 2)
Author: Donna Andrews

Winner of the St. Martin's Malice Domestic Award in 1997 for her first work Murder With Peacocks, Donna Andrews brings back her zany characters and disastrous events. — In an attempt to get away from her family, Meg and her boyfriend go to a tiny island off the coast of Maine. What could have been a romantic getaway slowly turns into disaster. — Once there, they are marooned by a hurricane and that is only the beginning of their problems. Meg and her boyfriend arrive at the house only to discover that Meg's parents and siblings, along with their spouses are all there. When a murder takes place, Meg realizes that she and her boyfriend can no longer sit by a cozy fireplace, but must instead tramp around the muddy island to keep try and clear her father who is the chief suspect.

I am on the fence with this series although I do have the 3rd and 4th books waiting to be read. I like the mystery but the main character, Meg, seems to be a doormat for her family. I hope to see her character grow in the next couple of books. It seems to be a popular series with the 16th in the series coming out in 2014.
