Publisher Description
**Winner of the Mystery & Mayhem Grand Prize**
Gorillas that communicate in sign language aren't exactly commonplace, so when Dr. Grace McKenna reluctantly hosts the first open house at her research center, half the town of Evansburg, Washington shows up to gawk. The next morning, Grace discovers that her worst nightmare has come true. All three apes—Gumu, Neema, and baby Kanoni—have vanished, leaving behind only one clue: a huge pool of blood.
Grace is frantic. She hopes the apes have simply escaped into the nearby forests. If the press learns of her gorillas' disappearance, the county will revoke her permit to keep the apes.
Detective Matthew Finn is sure that a criminal is at work. He risks his job for Grace by agreeing to keep the disappearance secret while doing his best to solve the crime. Has the maniac who murdered Grace's first gorilla returned? Have Grace's trusted staff members, who belong to the controversial Animal Rights Union, 'liberated' the apes? Or have exotic animal dealers stolen the valuable gorillas to sell on the illegal wildlife market?
Customer Reviews
Only Clue
I enjoyed reading this book. The characters were easy to get to know and believable. The story did seem to bog down half way through but had a great ending.
The Only Clue
Wasn’t sure about this book when I first started reading it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The book had suspense, murder, and romance but with all the right balance. Best of all, I learned some pretty fascinating things about gorillas.Looking forward to the next book in the series.
The only clue
I certainly got engrossed in this book. After reading it, I learned a great deal about gorillas and the people who save them from abusers. It is amazing to find out they can sign and paint. Not only was this book a good mystery but educational as well.
