Rosalinda Alameda adores zoos. When Massachusetts's summertime "Free Fridays" promotion features the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Rosalinda grabs her camera and heads east. A full day amongst lions and tigers is about the best outing she can possibly imagine.
But something's wrong at the zoo, and it'll take a combination of her Puerto Rican common sense and her 50 years of wisdom to unravel the puzzle!
The Preening Peacock Cozy Zoo Short Story Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Lisa Shea Grace Sylvan Minerva Webworks LLC Books
Giraffes and Tigers and Birds, Oh My!Pleasantly penned by Lisa Shea, The Preening Peacock is a fun-filled and endearing cozy mystery that takes its readers on an invigorating day trip to the landmark Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, Massachusetts. And it is at the establishment's giraffe exhibit that we come meet our winsome protagonist Rosalinda Alameda, a 50-year-old native of Arecibo (Puerto Rico), zoo lover, and veterinarian receptionist.
Perplexed as to why the giraffes are missing from public display—which prevents her from snapping coveted photos of their statuesque beauty—Rosalinda proceeds to inquire of Kayla and Sarah, two young volunteer zoo workers who helpfully explain to her that the missing giraffes have been moved inside for safety reasons due to impending thunderstorms in the meteorological forecasts. Notwithstanding, the three women take an immediate liking to each other and continue to converse further, particularly about the heat and humidity of the August day, and the toenails of the peacocks and peahens which have mysteriously turned purplish in color when they should in fact be tan-toned.
Puzzled by the peacock toenail revelation, the insatiable animal lover who is Rosalinda probes further and asks Kayla and Sarah—after apprising them that she is in the business of veterinarian medicine—if it would be alright for her to have a look in order to "investigate" what the cause of the peacock toenail discoloration could possibly be. The two young ladies agree and proceed to escort our Rosalinda over to the Austrialian aviary where the cuckatoos, the colorful budgies, and the fabulously adorned peacocks and peahens hold court.
Now knowing, per Kayla and Sarah, that the aviary overseer Christian and his helper Mark drive a hard overprotective bargain where the exotic vertebrate are concerned, Rosalinda takes great caution in her dealings with the feathered friends. But after getting two shots of one particular peahen's toenails, a hostile Mark arrives at the exhibit and is none to pleased with the unmonitored actions of the three women, leading him to promptly contacts his boss, the equally unfriendly Christian. And no sooner than the more mature Ricky Martin look-a-like—to whom Rosalinda finds herself incredibly attracted—arrives on the scene, goings-on at the landmark Franklin Park Zoo of greater Boston begin to take a direly sinister turn.
Advancing to make the sharp-tongued, 50-ish-year-old hearthrob aware of her "invesigative diagnosis" as to what the reason might be for the peahen's purple toenails, Rosalinda finds herself rudely dismissed. But does this stop her inner sleuth from snooping further and sticking her petting hand into the Zoo's animal cookies jar? No, of course it doesn't.
Someone inhumane at the landmark Franklin Park Zoo of greater Boston is scientifically plundering, evading, and exploiting the bodies of the park's wildlife population—driving many of them towards extinction—in the hope of massive monetary gain. But just whom can that inhumane someone be?
You can discover the heartless culprit on the twenty-two pages of this enjoyable cozy zoo short story composed by the talented Lisa Shea.
An appreciable 45-minute read, The Preening Peacock—book 1 in the 7-book Cozy Zoo Short Story Series—is neatly detailed and impressive in its research of the zoological branch of biology. And true to the nature of its genre the narrative, though ephemeral, didn't fall short of infusing me with that old-fashioned sentiment of relaxed solitude. For the zoo lover in you, The Preening Peacock is a positively recommended read.

The Preening Peacock Cozy Zoo Short Story Book 1 (Audible Audio Edition) Lisa Shea Grace Sylvan Minerva Webworks LLC Books Reviews
This is more a children's story than anything for adults. On that level, it is cute and with a pointed moral. Took k
Just minutes to read.
This is a classic cozy mystery with a cheerful main character helping solve an animal mystery at the zoo. The main character is presented as underdog and put in a tough situation right away, but she has knowledge and skills and helps solve the case. Good story for all ages.
Lisa Shea has a good thing started here. Rosalind is 50 but by no means strongly. She works as a receptionist for a local veterinarian and has a profound way with birds. In this first installment of her cozy zoo mysteries, Rosalinda discovers odd happenings in the peacock enclosure which leads to an arrest and a couple of new-found young friends. It also dredged up old unwanted memories for Rosalinda. I enjoyed this short story and will watch for more to come.
I love this story although none of it had a gap it's a completely little story it's wonderful Rosalinda is not an old lady but she's not a young lady and she still is on the look up for real love it's a story about animals about trying a little kindness and having empathy for those around you it's a story you will love and you will want to continue reading Lisa Shea continuing short wonderful sagas.😊😊😊
Unlimited, except first one which may be permafree, short stories are about 20 pages each and feature different zoos around the country, one even in key west, and portion of the proceeds benefits battered women's shelters in this case, some of her other books may benefit other charities.Was thinking there was a 6 book set but may be wrong about that, she usually does sets in 10's.Cute without being cutesy, informative without sounding like a lecture.

Rosalinda Alameda is a Puerto Rican who moved to Massachusetts to attend college, and instead her life went sideways because of an ill-judged marriage. Now 50, working in a veterinarian's office, and living in Boston, she enjoys visiting the Franklin Park Zoo. This is a mystery short story set at the zoo. In this outing, she notices something odd about the peacocks, and meets some of the zoo staff and volunteers. For such a short story, it's hard to say much more without spoilers. However, I like Rosalinda, and I think some of those she meets along the way will be likable and/or interesting as the series continues.
Short, clever, and enjoyable.
I bought this audiobook.
Rosalinda loves the zoo and the animals in it.. Her life took her away from her true dream of being a vet herself, but she is still living the life working for a local vet. The day she visits the zoo to snap some shots of animals she finds herself looking at the nails of the peacocks, she over heard the talk about them for zoo employees. Sure enough something is wrong with the nails and before long Rosalinda finds herself on the edge of trouble from the zoo boos. However not one to be pushed around, and never by a man again she stands strong that something is not right in the zoo.
Amazing quick read mystery! This author works to give you so much in a short amount of time and there is a life lesson in many if not all of her stories! Read her today!
