THE PANDA OF DEATH by Betty Webb is the 6th title in her Gunn Zoo Mystery series.
Our main characters are Theodora (Teddy) Bentley, zookeeper extraordinaire at the Gunn Zoo in San Sebastian, California; the Gunn Zoo itself and its many inhabitants, including Poonya, the zoo’s new red panda.
Teddy is now married to Sheriff Joe Rejas and her new ‘family life’ is center stage, as is a favorite local children’s tv program that her step-children (indeed, all of the town of San Sebastian) enjoy watching, KGNN’s ‘Tippy-Toe & Tinker’.
The characters in this series are very interesting, eclectic and enthusiastic, as is the zoo setting and its animals. There is lots of murder, funny zoo anecdotes and amateur sleuthing on the part of Teddy.
The books are interesting and fun to read; intriguing story lines are full of twists and turns and relationships; Teddy’s live-aboard boat in Gunn Landing Harbor, the MERILEE, and harbor life, itself, provides many a good setting; anecdotes about the zoo and its animals add interest and humor.
I like Betty Webb’s ‘About the Author’ section. She is a member of the National Organization of Zoo Keepers, as well as the National Federation of Press Women and the Mystery Writers of America. For more info see bettywebb-mystery.com
A very fun series to read. I heartily recommend it.

If you like cozi mysteries, you will like this one. Takes place in a fictional town along the coast of California.

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

It has been three years since the previous Gunn Zoo books. I remembered reading all five of them; so I was glad to see a new entry in the series. But, I did not remember the frequent use of God's name[s] as a curse, as well as other profanities and obscenities. This was a good story interestingly and well told. But the language kept me from enjoying it as much as I otherwise would have.

The author, a long time volunteer at the Phoenix Zoo, brings her knowledge of animals combined with her talent for spinning a good mystery yarn to give us a very enjoyable read,

I just read the whole Gunn Zoo series, and enjoyed it thoroughly. My only complaint might be that I find it hard to believe that a whole town would be so involved in the zoo. Would so many people connected to the zoo be murdered? Better not go to the zoo! Would the local TV news really have so many zoo related news items? Would a kid's TV puppet show be so popular that the whole town turns out for a performance? Does everyone living on the houseboats get in each other's business? Does one rich person have that much Local influence?
I wonder if the author will be writing more in this series.

This latest in the Gunn Zoo series is a fun read, with gentle humor and a nice mystery. People who live in Northern California especially will appreciate the scenery in this fictionalized version of a Pacific coast town. Teddy is a spunky and nice heroine.
