When Tobi Tobias decided to open her own ad agency, having to moonlight in a pet shop wasn’t part of her vision . . . of course, neither was murder.
Sometimes when opportunity knocks, the door you open leads to a closet. That’s certainly the case for Tobi, whose weekends spent cleaning cages in her best friend’s pet shop may soon be over. She’s just landed her first big break—Zander Closet Company needs a catchy campaign slogan ASAP, and Tobi thinks she’s got the right hook to knock ’em dead: “When we’re done, even your skeletons will have a place.”
But when a real dead body topples out of a showcase closet, she’s about to discover there is such a thing as bad publicity. To save her fledgling business and not get killed by the competition, Tobi takes on a new pet project: solving the murder. But with a stressed-out parrot as the only witness to the crime, Tobi will really have to wing it to put the cagey killer behind bars.
Advertising – a unique profession for an amateur sleuth! Tobi runs her own ad agency, but also works part time in a pet shop to make ends meet. When she finally lands a client and comes up with a perfect slogan, a murder threatens the reputation of both her new client and her agency. Determined to save face, Tobi starts poking around, figuring that if she can figure out who the killer is, she’ll throw attention away from herself and her client, Zander Closet Company.
Death in Advertising has a fun, quirky set of characters (including a couple of African Gray parrots) and a story-line that kept me guessing. This is a great start to a new series from Laura Bradford.
Enter the Rafflecopter giveaway (ENDED) for your chance to win one of 2 ecopies of Death in Advertising.
