Short description

Margaret Maron described this second book in the Leigh Koslow Mystery series (originally published by Penguin Putnam in 1999) as having "appealing characters and a blessedly lucid writing style... a solid plot that keeps the pages turning." An engaging tale of behind-the-scenes zoo life, sociopathic ex-classmates, missing bodies, and the usual cast of colorful pets and certifiable relatives!

"Edie Claire is a bright new addition to the mystery world. Along with appealing characters and a blessedly lucid writing style, she delivers a solid plot that keeps the pages turning. Never Sorry is ever entertaining."—Margaret Maron

"This is a riveting, mind-blowing book with an ending that will leave you in shock. This book is well written, and the plot is perfect for any mystery lover. The characters are well formed and very easy to picture. Leigh comes across as a caring, strong-willed amateur sleuth. I loved this one, and with the cliffhanger Ms. Claire leaves at the end, I can't wait for the next Leigh Koslow book."—Mystery News

"In her second mystery, Edie Claire again shows an affinity for solid plotting and engaging characters. Twists and turns abound in Never Sorry as Leigh learns what happens when the myth of high school crush becomes reality."—Fort Lauderdale Sun Sentinel

"A fun romp of murder, friendship, family, romantic entanglements and junk food."—Pittsburgh Magazine

"A provocative puzzler with a real grabber of an ending. You'll never look at a zoo the same way again."—Selma Eichler
