Publisher's Summary:
Theodora "Teddy" Bentley, zookeeper at the Gunn Zoo, takes the zoo's llama, Alejandro, to a Renaissance fair in the Monterey Bay area. That is where Teddy discovers the still-warm body of the Reverend Victor Emerson, owner of the local wedding chapel, dressed in his costume as Henry the Eighth. At first it appears that Alejandro stomped the man to death, but a closer look shows a crossbow dart in the mans back.
Teddys investigation reveals that Reverend Victor wasnt really a reverend at all but an escaped convict, which means that every marriage he performed in the past 20 years is null and void.
Teddys mother, Caro, a spoiled ex-beauty queen, becomes the chief murder suspect and is immediately jailed when she causes a riot in the courtroom. The "reverend" had twice married Caro to wealthy men, and when both marriages failed, Caro received large financial settlements that she may now have to give back - certainly a motive for murder.
But Caro wasnt the only person gunning for Victor. The child of the man that Victor the convict once murdered may have wanted to kill him too. Then even Teddy herself is handcuffed and jailed. Even worse, Teddys embezzling father flies in from exile in Costa Rica to help spring Caro from jail, putting his own freedom in jeopardy.
As Teddy continues her investigation, she finds herself up to her ears in Renaissance fair actors and stuntmen, assorted animals, squabbling boat live-aboarders, and gang members.
Critic Reviews:
"Zookeeper Theodora 'Teddy' Bentleys human relationships prove more taxing than her animal ones in Webbs amusing third Gunn Zoo mystery. Animal lore and human foibles spiced with a hint of evil test Teddys patience and crime solving in this appealing cozy." (Publishers Weekly)
"Quirky characters and the zookeeper frame story add zest to this engaging cozy mystery that will appeal to fans of Donna Andrews' Meg Langslow mysteries." (Booklist)
"A renaissance faire provides both the setting and the weapon for a murder. Webbs zoo-based series is informative about the habits of the zoo denizens and often amusing." (Kirkus Reviews)

Solid and entertaining
The latest Gunn Zoo is a light and entertaining cozy mystery. It's a fast-paced, interesting read with a solid plot and well developed characters. The insights into the zoo and exotic animals provide an a unique backdrop to the story. As always, Teddy is in the thick of things in order to solve the murder and save the day. This is a good series.
