A Lois Meade Mystery
BY ANN PURSER
ABOUT THE BOOK:
First Time in Paperback
Lois Meade has scrubbed her way through the homes in Long Farnden, and she’s not afraid of dusting cobwebs and killing a few bugs. But in her role as amateur sleuth, she’s learning to beware of snakes in the grass . . .
Spring has arrived in Long Farnden and with it, a mysterious infestation. Lois Meade’s daughter has found her village store overrun by insects and reptiles. As Lois looks into the invasion, her investigation leads her to Robert Pettison, a seemingly unhinged zookeeper, and his nephew. The two of them are knee-deep in illegal trade, and they don’t take kindly to Lois poking her nose into their business.
Lois enlists the help of her faithful cleaner Dot Nimmo and police inspector Hunter Cowgill to discover more about Pettison and a suspicious death at the zoo. And death is in store for more people if Lois doesn’t put the killer behind bars soon . . .

The link to her website didn't work so I found several websites:
http://berkleysignetmysteries.com/author211
http://thebestreviews.com/author3652
But one seems the best:
http://www.annpurser.com/biography/
On the last one, it said that she ran an art gallery in a 400 year old barn. I am wondering how was able to control the humidity and the temperature in it.

Our house is full of reptiles but thankfully not insects. And, no unhinged zookeepers either. The story sounds interesting.

I haven't read this series yet, but have heard good things about Lois. And the traditional setting sounds great too.
