Death in Advertising is the first installment in the Tobi Tobias Mystery series featuring Tobi Tobias owner of the Tobias Ad Agency and part time pet shop worker. Tobi has left her job at Beckler and Stanley Ad Agency and is branching out with her own business, but with few clients and mounting bills she subsidizes her income by working part time at the To Know Them Is To Love Them pet store.

When brothers Andrew and Gary Zander come to Tobi for help designing a new ad campaign for Zander Closet Company, she thinks she has come up with winning slogan "when we're done, even your skeletons will have a place". Little did she know that the catchy phrase was about to come true when Zander client Preston Hohlbrook comes tumbling out of his newly designed closet.

Anxious to find the killer and salvage her reputation, Tobi sets out with the help of her friends and neighbors to investigate a murder. With plenty of suspects to choose from, she soon discovers that everyone involved has a skeleton in their closet.

A fun, fast paced storyline with well developed and engaging characters and a delightful pair of African Grey parrots. A terrific debut in this new cozy series from author Laura Bradford.
