It’s not news that the Iowa towns of Bladdersly (Home of the Raging Bladders) and Who’s There (the Fighting Who-rish) are rivals and have been for more than a century. And as everybody knows—the best way to deal with a rivalry is to exploit it! So Who’s There’s youngest mayor creates The WhoBla Olympics to settle things once and for all!
Everyone is going to compete, including ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout leader Merry Wrath Ferguson and her troop. The events are a bit strange, with Extreme Hide & Seek and Dodge Archery, but all’s fair in the spirit of competition, right? Sure, there’s a little cheating and sabotage going on, but it’s nothing…until a body turns up with Merry’s arrow in its chest. And what could go wrong when you have two police departments taking the spirit of competition too far in seeing who will solve the crime first?
Will Merry and her teammate, Hilly, medal in Dodge Archery? Will the event heal the rift between these two towns? Can Merry solve the crime before Chief Magnum of the Bladdersly PD locks her up? Get your nachos and take your seat in the stands to see who comes out on top…and who is going down! (Summary via Goodreads)
When an author has over thirty books in a series, is there any doubt they have a following ? I mean, come on ..... thirty books !!!
Well Leslie Langtry has that with her Merry Wrath Mystery series and Medal For Murder is her thirty-second book in this series. If you haven't read any of the books in this series, I highly suggest you do. This series is so fun !!!
In Medal For Murder main character Merry Wrath and her crazy crew are participating in an Olympic games event between their town, Who's There, and a rival town, Bladdersly. Who's There mayor, thirteen year old, Ava, has set everything up. But she didn't plan for the Bladdersly eighteen year old mayor, Barney, to be murdered at one of the game sites .... or that Merry's arrow would be the murder weapon !!
Luckily for both towns the murder occured in the county so neither town is in charge of the investigation. But that will not stop Merry, her husband Rex, and friends to do a little investigating of their own.
Even without a murder to solve readers will love this series. You have teenagers in charge of political offices, ex-spies doing crazy things, a young girl who can communicate with animals, and so much more !!!
I could continue to talk about more with this series but I think if you aren't a fan yet, I have given you enough of a push to go grab a book or two or thirty. Langtry knows how to entertain readers .... and with thirty-two books, you better believe it !!!
