About the Book

"Baseball is America s favorite pastime. But Little League is a whole nother story for Meg and her husband Michael, who is the coach of their twin sons team, the Caerphilly Eagles. As Team Mom, Meg is getting more than she bargained for in the form of Biff Brown, the petty and vindictive head of the youth baseball league. But when, on opening day, Biff s lookalike brother is found dead in the porta-potty at the ball fields, it s up to Meg to figure out whodunit and why. Could it be that Biff was the intended victim? Plenty of people in town despise the guy. But now Biff s protection is Meg s problem. The killer is still out there . . . and the game must go on!"--

Book Synopsis

The brilliantly funny Donna Andrews delivers another winner in the acclaimed avian-themed series that mystery readers have come to love. The nineteenth book in her New York Times best-selling series continues to surprise and delight in this next knee-slapping adventure featuring Meg Langslow and all the eccentric characters that make up her world.

Meg is Team Mom and Michael is coach of their twin sons' youth baseball team, the Caerphilly Eagles. Meg tangles with Biff Brown, the petty, vindictive league head. On opening day, Biff's lookalike brother is found dead in the porta-potty at the ball field. So many people think Biff's scum that it would be easy to blame him, but he has an alibi--and Meg suspects he may actually have been the intended victim.

With Die Like an Eagle, readers can look forward to another zany Meg Langslow mystery--this one filled with the spirit of America's pastime and Donna's eagle eye.

Like Meg Langslow, the blacksmith heroine of her series, Donna Andrews was born and raised in Yorktown, Virginia. She introduced Meg to readers in her Malice Domestic Contest-winning first mystery, Murder with Peacocks, and readers are still laughing. This novel swept up the Agatha, Anthony, Barry, and a Romantic Times award for best first novel, and a Lefty for funniest mystery.
