Lois Meade has scrubbed her way through the homes in Long
Farnden, and she's not afraid of dusting cobwebs and killing
a few bugs. But in her role as amateur sleuth, she's
learning that if there's one thing to beware of, it's a
snake in the grass¦
Spring has arrived in Long Farnden and with it, a mysterious
infestation. Lois Meade's daughter has found her village
store overrun by insects and reptiles. And Lois has no time
to stop and smell the roses, if she's to stay one step ahead
of the creepy crawlies.
As Lois looks into the invasion, she becomes embroiled in
yet another ferretin case, as her husband would say. Her
investigation leads her to Robert Pettinson, a seemingly
unhinged zookeeper, and his nephew. The two of them are
knee-deep in illegal trade, and they don't take kindly to
Lois poking her nose into their business.
Lois enlists the help of her faithful cleaner Dot Nimmo and
police inspector Hunter Cowgill to discover more about
Pettinson and a suspicious death at the zoo. And death is in
store for more people, if Lois doesn't put the killer behind
bars soon¦
