Critics 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 *
“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 *
“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 *
