I probably shouldn't have read this so far out of order, this is book 7 and the first one I read was book 1. But I thoroughly enjoyed this particular volume. Meg Lanslow is now engaged to Michael, who she met in book 1. They apparently have purchased a farm and are renovating it. An eXtreme cricket match is being played on their land, a game which is played on acres instead of a single small field. Searching for a lost ball, Meg of course comes across a corpse.

For me the mystery almost takes a back seat to the droll humor in this story, but there is enough meat in it to make it an interesting read. However, the real fun I had was in the tongue-in-cheek character jokes and hilarious visuals Andrews paints with words. I had enjoyed the first book, but was not too impressed by those who had reviewed it as "hilarious" - now with this 7th volume, my funny bone has been tickled and my interest piqued, and I will definitely be looking for the rest.
