The clues to Koala Kate's killer implicate other animal keepers at Gunn Zoo, including Outback Bill, marsupial keeper and Kate's Aussie ex-boyfriend; and Robin Chase, the big cat keeper who's got it in for Teddy. Also displaying suspicious behavior are several 'liveaboarders' at the harbor; Speak-To-Souls, a shady 'animal psychic'; and even Caro, Teddy's much-married, ex-beauty queen mother. But murderers aren't all Teddy has to worry about. Her embezzling father is still on the run from the Feds, and the motor on her houseboat is failing. To pay for the repairs, Teddy agrees to appear on a weekly live television broadcast featuring misbehaving animals that range from a cuddly koala to a panicky wallaby--and all hell breaks loose in the TV studio. All the while, the killer is narrowing in on Teddy."--Dust cover flap. 20181108. Zoo keepers Fiction. Zoos Fiction. Murder Investigation Fiction. Murder Fiction. Mystery fiction. A Gunn Zoo mystery.
