Leigh is a copywriter who is trying to get her new agency up and running, but until she can recruit more clients, she has to take a job at the Riverview Park Zoo to make ends meet. It's there she meets up with Mike Tanner, an old crush, and other "blasts" from the past. When the remains of a body are found by Leigh in the Tiger exhibit, Leigh gets herself trapped in a deadly game of "whodunit" that only her cop friend Maura, and her political candidate Warren, and her lawyer Katherine can help her out of.

This is a riveting book with an ending that will leave you in shock. This book is well written, and the plot is perfect for the cozy mystery-lover. The characters are well formed and very easy to picture. Leigh comes across as a caring, strong-willed amateur sleuth. I loved this one, and with the cliffhanger Ms. Claire leaves at the end, I can't wait for the next one.

EXCELLENT
