About this ebook

From USA Today bestselling author Leslie Langtry comes a hilarious mystery that will leave you laughing 'til you cry...

 

It’s been years since ex-CIA agent Merry Wrath was undercover with Carlos the Armadillo in Colombia. So why is Teo the Tapir suddenly in Who’s There, Iowa looking for her? Merry and Teo were not on the best terms back then, especially after he attempted to blow her up. Is he in town to get revenge, or is he telling the truth about wanting to retire and let bygones be bygones?

It's a question that becomes much more important when a mutual colleague is murdered in Merry’s garage. Suddenly Merry wonders if Teo did it to frame her. As usual, this isn’t a great time for a dead body, since Merry is having trouble teaching her troop to use drones responsibly, her twin taxidermist sisters-in-law are trying to keep Merry from spilling their big secret, there are rumbles of a sexist schism in the teenage Cult of NicoDerm and there’s an issue involving fifty-one hamsters that needs to be resolved—like now!

Can Merry keep it together long enough to discover the truth about Teo? Or are some memories too deadly to hold onto?

Ratings and reviews

Merry investigates when she's not supposed to (like most times) when a body is found in her garage. An acquaintance turns up in town looking for Merry, a meeting that was bizarre but funny. This story had a lot of funny moments, actually. There were secrets, ridiculous names, hamsters, the girls, cult drama, bounty hunter antics - so many things happening, but was still easy to keep track. Betty is still (and will forever be) my favourite. She is awesome, but also kind of scary. Hilly is a close second. They're both intriguing but also exasperating. This was another fun addition to the series!

There is so much fun in this book in the Merry Wrath mystery series! It always makes my day when I can be entertained by a new book from Ms. Langtry. Memories are Murder will keep you laughing as characters from Merry's CIA past appear in town, bodies pile up, things explode and the girl scouts want to help. Can Merry stay one step ahead of the murderer? I am always amazed by how Ms. Langtry manages to arranges a perfectly logic solution to all the mayhem.

I love this series. Its funny and you never know what madcap stunt is coming.
