Twister — Barbara Block

Full of hairpin turns and gritty, non-stop action, Twister marks the second appearance of Barbara Block's hip, outrageous redhead, Robin Light--an amateur sleuth with a soft spot for puppies, parakeets, bunnies and boas...and a knack for finding herself at the scene of the crime.

Robin is just getting Noah's Ark, her Syracuse pet shop, settled into its new digs after a disastrous fire when her old friend Lynn Gordon appears in her white linen suit and matching Jaguar to whisk Robin away to the wrong side of town. Robin figures she's just along for the ride...until Lynn is found kneeling over a dead body and confessing to a crime Robin is certain she didn't commit.

As the city seethes--and temperatures climb--the crime trail twists and turns and finally heats up to reveal shocking ties to another murder...and Robin finds herself caught in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse. It is a game she intends to win...


If she survives long enough...
