Angol
As bloodless as a murder mystery can be, yet effective at combining folksy charm with danger and intrigue. -Kirkus Reviews
When Dr. Kara Clay finds a volunteer dead behind her floundering animal clinic, she must expose a web of lies and stop a manipulative killer before the bank forces her to close the doors forever.
Dr. Kara Clay loves animals. She runs a small veterinary clinic and Kibbles, her pet boutique, in a quaint bayside town on Florida's Gulf Coast. Kara holds one big secret: she is barely keeping both afloat. When a manatee refuge volunteer is found dead behind her clinic during First Friday, her quiet life implodes.
The victim's modest bungalow hides a pail full of cash and a tangle of knots that reach from raucous Las Vegas into Crystal Stream's gentler neighborhoods.
Kara starts asking questions and as suspects multiply, she must decide how far she'll go to save her clinic and the community she loves. Navigating the dangers from gambling rings, personal betrayal, and small-town secrets, can Kara solve the crime before her clinic and her own life are extinguished?
Perfect for fans of animal-forward cozy mysteries with an edge.
