[Devereaux's Dime Store 06] • Lions and Tigers and Murder, Oh My

From the _New York Times_ best-selling author of _Between a Book and a Hard

Place_ comes the latest Devereaux's Dime Store Mystery - and it packs a bite.

Opening up a dime store in her hometown of Shadow Bend, Missouri, Devereaux

"Dev" Sinclair thought she'd left the wilds of city life behind her. But she's

about to discover that even rural life can be beastly....

Handsome private investigator Jake Del Vecchio has rented the office space on

the second floor above Devereaux's dime store, and Dev now finds herself

embroiled in his first case, which involves Gabriella Winston, the missing

wife of wealthy philanthropist Elliot Winston.

Elliot is determined to open a wildlife park on the edge of town but is facing

all sorts of angry opposition - including Gabriella. After the Winstons have a

bitter fight, Gabriella disappears, and their house is ransacked. The

authorities are quick to claim Elliot killed his wife, but Dev's not so sure.

One thing is certain: claws are out in Shadow Bend....
