Some Like It Hawk (A Meg Langslow Mystery #14)

I really enjoyed this installment from the citizens of Caerphilly and all of their quirks. The story was a bit slow in going, but once the murder happened (around page 55) it picked up considerably.
The highlights included Horace and the PI Denton's involvement in the monkey suit.
The "Church tent wars" were hilarious.
A few things were disjointed in this particular installment:
I think the urgency of the Evil Lender, the Pruitts, and the ex-mayor should have been a bit more spelled out and more insidences of this should have occurred during the book.
The young female reporter story, while a good comedic break in the plotline of the book, was disjoineted and seemed an after thought. Unless, of course she was introduced in this book series to be brought back later...but to have her in this particular story and have her leave again so quickly made this particular part of the storyline disjointed.
I look forward to hearing about Denton and his staying in Caerphilly in the next installment. Denton is one of my favorite characters in this book, and look forward to more with him. Perhaps a partnership between Denton and Meg to solve more mysteries???
