Brief
Summary:
When
she was a young girl, Miranda Scott read dozens of mystery books by authors
such as Agatha Christie and Raymond Chandler, and she loved characters like
Sherlock Holmes. She was equally obsessed with watching old black and white
crime movies. She began hearing their voices in her head suggesting what she
should and should not do. Sometimes, she even answered them.
After a body is tossed into the lions’ habitat at the zoo where she is the senior veterinarian, Miranda Scott and Detective Bryan Anderson find themselves investigating several murders. There is a group of bad guys seeking revenge as well as other possible suspects. Miranda must also deal with a scheming would-be boyfriend, her badly-behaved mother, her co-workers, and gangster friends of her father, who she has loved and known since childhood. The good guys do their best to protect her. So do the voices in her head. All the while, Miranda and Bryan alternate between flirting and fighting off romantic feelings. Well, Miranda does; Bryan is ready for love. Murder seems to keep getting in the way!
Log Line:
