Donna Andrews' We'll Always Have Parrots
In the 5th Meg Langslow book, Meg finds herself at a con for a popular Xena-like tv show (her boyfriend is one of the actors), and of course there is a MURDER. (Sorry, at a certain point I find it hard to suspend disbelief that one person would encounter so many murders.) Actually, though, this is a fairly strong volume of the series, with lots of Andrews' trademark humor, and even has a pretty good explanation of fanfiction and slash--which, considering this came out in 2004, is kind of impressive. It's pretty easy to figure out what happened, but all the craziness of a tv show con plus a bunch of loose parrots and monkeys keeps things entertaining. B+.
