Pet psychic Frankie Chandler is feeling frazzled. Ever since the night she lost her ability to communicate with animals—and wound up reading the minds of two potential dates—nothing seems to be going right. Her new animal behavior business is a dud, and her love life is as dry as the Arizona desert. To top it off, Frankie's assertive Aunt Gertrude is in town to attend the premiere of Blue-Ribbon Babes, the Baking Channel's latest show.
When Frankie and Auntie stumble over the body of the newly appointed Blue-Ribbon Queen, Detective Martin Bowers suspects that Auntie knows more about the victim than she's admitting. The only witness to the murder is an unfriendly cockatoo that's obsessed with cats. Frankie scrambles to revive her talent for talking to animals before the police arrest Aunt Gertrude, but the more she finds out about the victim, the more she wonders if Auntie is guilty.
ABOUT THE SERIES
When a frightened dog breaks through to fake pet psychic Frankie Chandler, the communication doors are wide open for any animal with something to say. As the series progresses, Frankie gains some control over her abilities, though it's far from perfect.
Each mystery features an animal who witnesses a murder. Since they don't speak, Frankie is left trying to decipher the clues, which means investigating on her own.
The humor includes satire, which means everything is fair game. There is no explicit sex or gory violence. Rarely will a mild swear word pop up (usually from the mouths of men) but it's nothing you wouldn't find in an Agatha Christie novel.
