Pachyderm: A Catherine Kint mystery by Hugh McGinlay

It begins with the death of an elephant and ends with the death of humans.  If Catherine is not careful, she could be part of the body count...

Threekookaburras and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

Catherine doesn't usually visit the zoo but it's a big event with free champagne, so why not?  Then she meets a cool zoo keeper and things are looking even better.  That is until he's found in the wild dog enclosure, almost dead.  They decide it was a suicide attempt.  She disagrees...

What she finds is that the famous personality at the zoo has Alzheimers, one of the keepers has a false alibi, and people will kill to keep their secrets.  It's a good thing she has Boris to help and he has her.  Otherwise this could have turned out quite differently.  Animals at the zoo are dangerous.  So are some of the people...
