Murder at the Zoo

 

  

Murder at the Zoo

by Marcia Rosen

GENRE: Mystery

A body is tossed into the lion’s habitat at the zoo where Miranda Scott is the senior vet. She and Detective Bryan Anderson join forces to unravel that mystery and several more murders. A fan since childhood of Agatha Christie, Raymond Chandler, and Sherlock Holmes they seem to live in her head frequently telling her what to do…and not do. Murders, family, deceit, revenge and a gangster father and godfather often get in the way of a fine romance between Miranda and the Detective.

Excerpt:

Bryan whispered to Isabella, walked out, and came back in with the most special gift of all. Handing Miranda the leash to an Australian Shepherd puppy he said, “Your new watch dog.” And giving her a big kiss, he whispered, “You know, I love you.”

   

The detective and the veterinarian were too busy to deal with the “I love you” issue for now but. . . eventually.

    

Of course, the voices had to have their say.

    

“Yes, you can trust him.” Agatha was such a romantic.

    

“Well, we agree!” chimed in Sherlock and Raymond.

   

“What are you going to name her?” 

    

With a mischievous grin Miranda said, “Agatha.”
