The Koala of Death (Gunn Zoo Series)
Zookeeper Theodora “Teddy” Bentley is looking for the sea otter that has been frequenting the marina where her houseboat is docked when she finds the body of a colleague, Koala Kate, zookeeper and television personality, floating in the water. Kate was strangled before being dumped in the water and the suspects are many: Outback Bill, her former boyfriend; Robin Chase, the big-cat keeper who has a grudge against Teddy; several other “liveaborders” at the harbor; an animal psychic; and even Teddy's ex-beauty-queen mother. When Teddy is ordered by her boss at the zoo to take over Kate's TV show, she finds herself thrown into the murder investigation and must solve the crime to avoid becoming the next victim. 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. --Barbara Bibel--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
