Merry Wrath's troop is going Down Under! When young Mayor Ava of Who’s There, Iowa gets a call for help from Mayor Sheila of their sister city in Doover, Australia, the girls in the troop waste no time in packing their bags for a trip halfway around the world—of course, with their fearless ex-CIA agent turned Girl Scout leader, Merry Wrath, in tow. Merry thinks this is a great opportunity to see another part of the world with the girls and her more-than-slightly-koala-obsessed co-leader, Kelly.
Met by Sheila, her Girl Guide troop, and a few kangaroo bodyguards, Ava and the girls get to work to help the mayor fight her obnoxious City Council. While the girls assist Sheila, Merry and Kelly plan to spend the time looking for koalas and taking in the sites of the Blue Mountain town in New South Wales. Being in another hemisphere, what could possibly go wrong?
Unfortunately, even halfway around the world, Murder Magnet Merry lives up to her reputation, when one of the council members' bodies is found in the bush. To make things worse, the police think Mayor Sheila is the murderer! Merry and the gang race to find a dangerous killer before they have to go home and Sheila goes to jail!
What critics are saying about Leslie Langtry's
"I laughed so hard I cried on multiple occasions! Girl Scouts, the CIA, and the Yakuza... what could possibly go wrong?"
~ Fresh Fiction
"Darkly funny and wildly over the top, this mystery answers the burning question, 'Do assassin skills and Girl Scout merit badges mix…?'"
~ RT BOOKreviews
"Mixing a deadly sense of humor and plenty of sexy sizzle, Leslie Langtry creates a brilliantly original, laughter-rich mix of contemporary romance and suspense."
~ Chicago Tribune
"Langtry gets the fun started from page one."
~ Publisher's Weekly (Summary via Goodreads)
I don't know how Leslie Langtry does it but with Marsupials Are Murder being the thirty-fourth book in her Merry Wrath Mystery series, she does it !! She definitely brings it every time !!! And fans are going to love this one .... Merry, her best friend Kelly, and their girl scout troop and mayor are heading down under !!!
Thirteen year old Ava is the mayor of Who's There, Iowa, and her friends consist of her girl scout troop as well as her council and they have unbelievable skills that will amaze you. Ava has been in contact with Mayor Sheila from their sister city in Doover, Austrailia and they have organized a trip to go and help Sheila and her council.
Unfortunately even though they are far away from home and their track record of solving murders in their home state, they will find themselves in the middle of another murder case. When they are on a bush walk, Merry and Sheila find the body of Seb Butcher, a member of the city council. Even though it looks like it might just be an innocent death, Merry and Kelly know better and begin to organize things. Then when Sheila is brought in and arrested for the murder, they all pitch in to prove her innocence.
With having thirty-four books published in one series, you know that this is something worth looking into. I, to be honest, came into the series not that long ago but if I could I would definitely go back and read all of the previous books because you know they would be a hoot !!!
