Belinda Blake and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing (An Exotic Pet-Sitter Mystery, #2)

by Heather Day Gilbert

Exotic pet-sitter Belinda Blake is nervous about her new job at the White Pine Wolf Preserve, but it turns out that the care and feeding of wild carnivores may be the least dangerous part of the gig . . .
 
Pet-sitter Belinda Blake is no stranger to dealing with wild animals, but she’s wary when the owner of the Greenwich, Connecticut, preserve asks her to help out with her “fluffy darlings.” Her caution seems justified on her very first day, when she discovers a tour guide—dead, bloodied, and surrounded by wolves in the enclosure.
 
Was it death by predator or something more sinister? The body count rises, but something’s not adding up. As she gets to know the rescued wolves and wolf-dog hybrids better, Belinda realizes that her human colleagues are not above suspicion. With help from her own “pack”—her pregnant sister, Red the chauffeur/bodyguard, and hunky farmer Jonas—Belinda is hot on the killer’s tail, but if she doesn’t find him soon, he’ll do more than muzzle her to keep the truth from escaping.
 
“With a well-paced plot, engaging characters, and exotic animals, Gilbert’s new series featuring pet sitter Belinda Blake will tick all the right boxes for cozy mystery fans.”
—Ellery Adams, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author

Reviews

[Baroness Book Trove]

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy from the Great Escapes Book Tours. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Belinda Blake and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Heather Day Gilbert is a fantastic mystery with an excellent cast of characters.

Why would the wolves kill the humans?

Our sleuth, Belinda Blake

Belinda is a unique character; she is our sleuth, a pet sitter, video game reviewer, friend, sister, and daughter. There are many aspects to her; most of them are good. I enjoyed getting to know Belinda. She has two gentlemen interested in her, and throughout the book, she is trying to decide which one she wants. 

The Mystery

The mystery revolves around why would the wolves kill someone, and if they didn't, then who would have the motive to frame them. The suspects are pretty much everyone that works at the wolf preserve. The owner isn't involved even though she tells everyone that she is an integral piece that holds everything together. She doesn't have any idea what is going on her preserve. Although I saw the clues, I didn't realize they were them.

The Wolves

The wolves were my favorite part. I fell for Freya; she seemed to be such a beautiful soul. Njord is strong and wants love. They all have such personalities.

4 Stars Belinda Blake and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Belinda Blake and the Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Heather Day Gilbert is wonderfully written, and I was lost in the story ignoring the real world. So, my rating is four stars. I like the exotic pet-sitting aspect of the story. I recommend this one to all cozy readers out there.
