New book signings

In THE LLAMA OF DEATH, zookeeper Theodora "Teddy" Bentley takes llama Alejandro to the local Renaissance Faire, where someone promptly murders the wedding chapel owner dressed as King Henry VIII. The "King," as it turns out, is an escaped convict with plenty of enemies. Critics love this animal-centered romp. PUBLISHERS WEEKLY wrote: "Animal lore and human foibles spiced with a hint of evil test Teddy's patience and crime-solving in this appealing cozy." LIBRARY JOURNAL wrote: "A strong animal story with an engaging cozy amateur sleuth tale. Set at a relaxed pace with abundant zoo filler, the title never strays into too-cute territory, instead presenting the real deal."
