Blacksmith Meg and her fiancé, Michael, are at last moving into their new house in Caerphilly, Va., assisted (and occasionally hindered) by Meg’s vast clan of maternal relations.

Maybe there are people in Antarctica with penguins in their basements, but in Virginia?

Finding a body down there is somewhat more likely for Meg. Explaining the penguins’ presence is easy; Meg’s dad volunteered to take care of the birds until the future of the bankrupt local zoo could be determined. Then Meg’s dad announces that, while digging a pool in the new house’s basement for penguins fostered from a bankrupt local zoo, he has discovered a dead body.

But identifying the body in the basement proves a harder task. Meg and Michael have been planning to elope to avoid the elaborate wedding their mothers have begun to organize; a plan that’s threatened by both the murder investigation and the carnival of animals.

The only way to set things right, Meg decides, is to identify both their uninvited visitor and the killer who put him in their basement.

As usual, Meg takes the familial eccentricities in stride while coping with one crisis after another. Andrews demonstrates her absolute mastery of the comedic mystery, deftly balancing outrageously funny scenes with well-paced suspense.
