What readers are saying...
"Very funny and laughs out loud will be heard when reading it…this was so good l read it in one sitting couldn't put it down!"
"What a truly FUN, lighthearted read, full of fantastical and lovable characters!"
"What a fun circus-themed murder mystery! …I really think [Tammie] outdid herself with this book."
"I loved the humour… I loved the way the story was written. The characters are very believable, and the way the mystery unravels is very well crafted…"
Like any traveling circus, Zin’s has hair-raising acts and fried food on sticks. But it’s also got an aura-spotting centaur, a chain-smoking unicorn, and an omelet-addicted dragon. Oh, and a body in the center ring.
Duncan -- aka "Brutus Fangwrath, Deadliest Dragon in the West" -- wakes one morning to find his best friend isn’t just sleeping off a hangover. He’s been murdered.
Suspicion for the crime quickly turns to the circus’s new hire, Cordelia Quinn. After all, she’s got motive, she's got means, and she’s got loads of circumstantial evidence stacked against her.
When it looks like no one else is going to step in to help Cordelia, it’s up to Duncan to ponder the puzzling clues, prove Cordelia’s innocence, and pry open a troubling secret along the way.
As soon as he’s done with his omelet, that is.
Set in a 1930s that’s just a tad different than what you’re used to, Hoard it all Before is the start of a delightfully humorous mystery series with plenty of tantalizing twists, a troupe of quirky characters, and death-defying feats both in and beyond the big top.
Hoard It All Before is the first in the Circus of Unusual Creatures mysteries. Other titles include…
* Tipping the Scales
* Fangs A Million
* Beast or Famine (which is another great place to start the series)
Note: While this cozy mystery is mostly clean, it does have a lusty, chain-smoking unicorn who makes more than a few naughty innuendos, a dragon that drinks heavily, a tiny bit of swearing, and (obviously) there’s a murder along the way.
