About this title

Review:

"Webb's new series combines a good puzzle with animal lore, a behind-the-scenes look at zoo operations, and plenty of humor."--Booklist

"I've been impressed with Betty Webb's edgy mysteries about the Southwest, so I was surprised to find she has a softer side and a wicked sense of humor in a book that can only be described as 'High Society meets Zoo Quest.' I've always been a sucker for zoos, so I also relished the animal details in this highly enjoyable read."--Rhys Bowen, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of the Molly Murphy and Royal Spyness mysteries

"Webb, author of the well-written Lena Jones PI series, not only presents a clear picture of what it is like to work in a zoo but also introduces an engaging new protagonist who will appeal to mystery buffs who enjoy light animal mysteries."--Library Journal

"Webb kicks off her new series with a bright heroine and an appealingly offbeat setting: a firm foundation later episodes can build on."--Kirkus Reviews
