From USA Today bestselling author, Leslie Langtry comes another hilarious Merry Wrath Mystery… For ex-CIA Agent turned Girl Scout troop leader, Merry Wrath, planning a wedding is infinitely more terrifying than the time she was a mole in Carlos the Armadillo’s drug cartel. To make matters worse, while plagued by insomnia (brought on by diabolical details that include bizarre things like … like “boutonnieres”) Merry and her cat, Philby, witness a midnight murder next door.
Or do they? With her record of sleeplessness, everyone from her fiancé, Rex, to her Girl Scout troop are questioning her sanity. And when strange incidents of arson start popping up all over Who’s There, Iowa and a mysterious woman vanishes, Merry begins to believe her neighbors are foreign spies.
Throw in meeting her fiancé’s odd twin sisters, late night visits with Mr. Fancy Pants—the King Vulture at the zoo—and a scary sleep study, and Merry wonders if she’s in danger of losing her mind…or her life.

Leslie Langtry is ALWAYS so funny, and this book is no exception! Long-time fans of her books (like me) are going to love this new Merry Wrath adventure. What’s not to love about a former CIA Girl Scout Troop leader with a cat who looks like Hitler?
I am going to be very suspicious of my new neighbors from now on. Absolutely CRAZY from word one to the end it was like Merry was having a very bizarre dream and brought all of us along for the ride.
Can you be on the edge of your seat while laughing all the way through to the end? You bet you can!
The 6th book in the Merry Wrath series is amazing! Merry, ex-CIA agent hiding in her old hometown after being outed has a wedding to plan to Rex a detective in the local police force and it is just causing her so much stress, it turned her into an insomniac.While pacing the floors all night she stops and sees her new neighbors across the street dragging a body in the wee hours of the morning. Did she really see that? Who are these people. On the edge, she calls Rex and tells him he has to investigate, she knows a body when she sees one and she is not hallucinating. After nothing was found, she feels she has to investigate herself and so it starts. Of course at the same time she and her BFF, Kelly are in charge of a group of pre-teen girl scouts who have a special day to plan for. Just something else to do. Especially since the girls love Merry and her crazy teachings. But she still has a wedding to plan for and has NO idea what to do and besides, she thinks her neighbors are murderers or even spies. And Kelly signed her up with a therapist at the hospital to help alleviate the stress and a sleep study to see why she can’t sleep. To help, Merry calls her Mom in Washington who is sweet and take-charge to help plan the wedding and between Kelly and Merry’s mom, things in the wedding planning direction start to fall into place. But now there is the Veterinarian’s assistant who goes missing and her house is tossed. What is going on? AND there are fires that are suspicious. And Riley her old CIA partner shows up in town causing some confusion in Merry’s head as well as what is he doing in her town, she no longer works with him. Riley is now working with the FBI not the CIA. Why is he here? Oh and lets add to all the craziness above with meeting Rex’s twin sisters he had been estranged from for years. This gives Merry pause, she really doesn’t know anything about her fiance’s family, having never met his sisters or even his parents. Oh My. Well this entire crazy storyline not only keeps you on the edge of your seat, but has you laughing all the way through to the end!
A great series
I’m a pretty picky reader, but I truely enjoy this series. Ms Langtry writes an excellent story. I love the character and her crazy cats. I’ve shared this book with some of my friends and have converted them th Langtry readers.
I love Langtree’s characters because they are all, characters. Great humor and some mystery.
