Littlewood, a former zookeeper, knows a great deal about animal management and goes to some lengths to work her knowledge into her debut, but unfortunately, the behind-the-scenes details slow the pace and dilute the drama. Iris Oakley and her husband, Rick Douglas, are both keepers at a small zoo in Vancouver, Wash., where she works the big cats, he the reptiles. He drinks too much, they fight, she leaves. Then Rick's body turns up in the lion area, ripped to pieces. Unwilling to accept that this tragedy was an accident, Iris decides to find the truth about how Rick died and why. Soon she herself becomes the target of suspicious and increasingly threatening “accidents.” The plot, a mix of woman-in-jeopardy and standard amateur-sleuth conventions, will be familiar to most mystery readers. Still, the highly original setting is a plus.

When zookeeper Iris Oakley's husband is fatally mauled by lions in a Vancouver, WA, zoo, his death is ruled accidental since he is determined to have been drunk. A devastated Iris slowly begins to question the ruling; her husband had just quit drinking, and then accidents start to plague her at the zoo. Debut author Littlewood draws on her 12 years' zookeeping experience to add authenticity to her novel tale. [See Prepub Mystery, "LJ" 5/1/08.]
