Trunk Show, the second novel in an exciting new mystery series by Alison Glen, is another delightful American cozy set in the heartland of America and featuring the thoroughly engaging amateur sleuth Charlotte Sams. Readers instantly came to love the happily married, middle-aged mother and perpetual snoop in Showcase when she cleverly solved a murder mystery at a Columbus, Ohio, art exhibit. And now, when murder revisits Columbus, Charlotte once again finds herself smack-dab in the middle of madness, mayhem, and murder. This time there are dastardly doings at the Columbus Zoo, where Charlotte finds herself up to her eyeballs in elephants, cheetahs, tigers - and most unexpectedly: a human killer. Trouble begins one summer day when Charlotte heads to the zoo to interview the charismatic and handsome elephant keeper for an article she is writing. Instead she finds him face down in the elephant yard - dead! Though zoo employees are calling his death an accident, Charlotte has reason to believe otherwise. Despite pleas from her husband and teenage son - not to mention strict warnings from the local police - to keep her nose out of trouble, Charlotte can't help but meddle in murder. Teaming up with her equally curious pal, retired psychologist Lou Toreson, Charlotte pokes and pries and uncovers shocking clues that threaten to make her the next victim in a string of "accidental" deaths haunting the ordinarily quaint and quiet Columbus Zoo.
