This was a really fun read featuring likable characters and an engaging mystery. It has three pov's: Megan, a police officer Brigit, Megan's k9 partner The poacher, a man who commits crimes to keep his family together. This book was incredibly sympathetic to The Poacher while not letting him off the hook. For instance, he stole the toys from the toy shop to give his kids a good Christmas. Megan starts off investigating a rich woman's missing ring and then is alerted to the birdnapping of two macaws. I figured out what was happening with the rings pretty early on but the plot is written really well and it didn't interrupt the flow of the zoo abductions storyline.
