OVERVIEW

This is a great mystery with a very likable main character. Although second in the series, nothing felt lost by missing the first book. But this reviewer is certainly planning to go back and read Belinda Blake and the snake in the grass.

Belinda is an exotic pet sitter but nothing has really prepared her for a wolf preserve. Are they dangerous or are they really sweet pets? It depends on who you talk to, Dahlia, the owner who takes credit for rescuing them or her son Carson or some of the other employees. Everyone has a different story but when Shaun Fowler is found dead and mauled by the wolf pack, it seems pretty obvious that these wolves are not to be trusted. Soon another death follows but no mauling this time. Is it the wolves or are they being set up? Belinda is determined to find out.
