Praise for The Llama of Death... "An appealing cozy." -Publishers Weekly Zookeeper "Teddy" Bentley takes Alejandro, the Gunn Zoo llama, to a Monterey area Renaissance Faire. Soon she stumbles upon the body of the Reverend Victor Emerson, still dressed as Henry VIII. Everyone thinks Alejandro stomped him to death, but a closer look reveals a crossbow dart in the man's back. Teddy's investigation proves the "reverend" is really an escaped convict, and every marriage he's performed for 20 years-including each of Teddy's mother's-is null and void. The child of the man Victor once murdered may have wanted to kill him, too. Can Teddy find the killer before someone else dies? Betty Webb's humorous Gunn Zoo series debuted with The Anteater of Death, followed by The Koala of Death. A book reviewer at Mystery Scene Magazine, Betty is a member of National Federation of Press Women, Mystery Writers of America, and the National Organization of Zoo Keepers. www.bettywebb-zoomystery.com

Review:
"Animal lore and human foibles spiced with a hint of evil test Teddy's patience and crime solving in this appealing cozy."--Publishers Weekly
"A Renaissance Faire provides both the setting and the weapon for a murder...Webb's zoo-based series is informative about the habits of the zoo denizens and often amusing..."--Kirkus Reviews
"Webb's third zoo series entry winningly melds a strong animal story with an engaging cozy amateur sleuth tale. Set at a relaxed pace with abundant zoo filler, the title never strays into too-cute territory, instead presenting the real deal."--Library Journal
