Thank you for the wonderful website. I often refer to it when I’m looking for a new series to start.
Donna Andrews has posted two future releases of the Meg Langslow mysteries if you want to you update your page:
The Hen of the Baskervilles (coming in July 2013)
Duck the Halls (coming in fall 2013)
I can see how it might take more time to get attached to Meg than leading characters of some other series, I really like this series.
Thanks for all the work on your webpage!
