Critics Review
“Webb (Desert Cut, 2008, etc.) kicks off her new series with a bright heroine and an appealingly offbeat setting: a firm foundation later episodes can build on.”
“Teddy’s second adventure will appeal to animal lovers who enjoy a bit of social satire with their mystery. Pair this series with Ann Littlewood’s Iris Oakley novels, also starring a zookeeper.” – Booklist
“Teddy’s second case showcases an engaging array of quirky characters, human and animal.” – Kirkus Reviews
“The author of the edgy Lena Jones mysteries softens her touch in this second zoo mystery featuring an amateur sleuth with a wealthy background and a great deal of zoological knowledge and brain power…Teddy’s adventures will appeal to fans of animal-themed cozies.” – Library Journal
