This series is getting funnier and more enjoyable. The first few books elicited a few chuckles from me but this one had me laughing out loud at the end. Meg's brother Rob has been successful at marketing a computer version of his role-playing game, Lawyers From Hell, and is now head of his own computer game company called Mutant Wizards. He engages Meg's help when he suspects something fishy going on at work, and Meg is ensconced at the switchboard while secretly playing detective in between taking care of the resident mascot George, a one-winged buzzard rescued by the staff. When the office clown and practical joker Ted is found strangled, Rob is arrested by the sherrif and Meg of course investigates to get her brother out of jail. What she finds is that Ted was a blackmailer, and everyone in the building, including the psychiatrists that they share office space with, has a secret worth killing for. Now she just has to figure out who actually did. The last showdown scene is a hilarious comedy routine that is deftly written and thoroughly enjoyable, and makes me look forward to the rest of the series.
