A lovely day out takes a dark turn when a complaining customer is found deadβ¦ Luckily amateur sleuth Belinda Penshurst is on the scene β and ready to investigate!
Belinda Penshurst has always loved Brabourne Gardens. A keen animal lover, she enjoys walking its winding paths and listening to the excited squeals of schoolchildren encountering the kind of wildlife you donβt normally find in England. So when one of the visitors is found strangled, sheβs determined to learn whodunnit β and why.
The victim, Simon Carter, had a reputation for making troubleβ¦ But surely thatβs not a good enough reason to want him dead. Together with retired detective Harry Powell, Belinda investigates the goings-on behind the scenes, and learns that some of the staff are more savage than the animals.
Is it Estelle Samuels, the anti-social owner, who clearly has something to hide? Or the security guard who takes his job too seriously? Most worrying of all, Belindaβs ex Ivan was there when the body was found, and sheβs determined to clear his name. As suspicions swirl, one thingβs for sure: if Belinda keeps following the killerβs tracks, she might find herself in their sightsβ¦
Can she sniff out a murderer, before she becomes prey?
