Belinda Blake and the Snake in the Grass by Heather Day GilbertMy rating: 💛💛💛
An intriguing cosy mystery with a unique introvert who would rather spend her time pet sitting exotic pets than humans, this was a great first book in a new series.
There was a few twists and turns which kept me guessing and it was only until the last reveal that I realised all the parties who was involved.
I am looking forward to seeing what other mysteries Belinda and het exotic pets will find themselves in the middle off.

About the book:
When exotic pet-sitter Belinda Blake moves into a carriage house in tony Greenwich, Connecticut, she’s hoping to find some new clients. Instead she discovers a corpse in the garden—and a knack for solving murders...
Belinda doesn’t rattle easily, but move-in day has been eventful, to say the least. The python in her care tried to slither to freedom—just as she met Stone Carrington the fifth, her landlords’ disarmingly handsome son. With the constrictor back in its cage, she heads out to the garden, only to discover a designer shoe poking out of the boxwood hedge—and it's attached to a woman’s dead body.
The victim was a Carrington family friend, and no one in their circle seems above suspicion. Between client trips to Manhattan and visits to her family in upstate New York, Belinda begins to put the pieces together. But even as she’s falling for Stone’s numerous charms, Belinda wonders if she’s cozying up to a killer. And soon, daily contact with a deadly reptile might be the least dangerous part of her life.
