The criminal suspects are really criminals, and at one point someone shoots at Meg. Not the standard fair for Meg and her eccentric and fabulous family. Even though I say it's not as strong as others in the series, it's still better than most cozies out there right now. It's definitely the best humorous cozy series you're going to find, and Andrews has the awards to prove it. The plotting is still strong too, even after 22 books - I certainly never came close to guessing the ending. Opening one of these books is like coming home to your favorite people, where everyone is kind, funny, competent and believes in something bigger than themselves, whether it's family, community, God, or all of the above.

Though it is a bit shocking to jump right into number 23 in a series I didn’t feel that it was difficult to jump right in. The mystery was intriguing and the small town seems charming.

Meg Langslow is at Trinity Episcopal locking up after an event and checking on the toucan that Rev. Robyn Smith is fostering in her office. After hearing a hammering in the crypt, Meg finds an elderly parishioner lying dead on the floor. Several niches have been chiseled open, several urns knocked out, and amid the spilled ashes is a gold ring with a huge red stone. The curmudgeonly victim had become disgruntled with the church and ranted all over town about taking back his wife's ashes. Did someone who had it in for him follow him? Or was the motive grave robbery? Or did he see someone breaking in and investigate? Why was the ruby left behind? While Chief Burke investigates the murder, Robyn recruits Meg to contact the families of the people whose ashes were disturbed. During this task, Meg discovers clues that indicate that a thief broke into the church to steal the toucan the night of the murder, so Meg decides to set a trap for the would-be toucan thief...who might also be the killer.

This is the 23rd book in this series, which I started reading through a few years back. Because I have reviewed so many of these books, I’m sure my reviews have started to sound pretty repetitive by now.
So, I’ll just keep it short and sweet. Andrews seems to have this gig down to a science- the series now clicks along in a solid, dependable way with each installment bringing smiles, comfort, and a thoughtful- well-plotted whodunit. This book was no exception- and even had a good cold case and a very nice touching conclusion.
As always, I’m tempted to grab the next book in line and dive into it immediately- but I’ll discipline myself so that I’ll always have at least one waiting for me when I feel the need to visit Caerphilly again!
