A new fiancé, an old boyfriend, and a murder that will change everything.

Frankie Chandler is finally at peace with her life. She’s engaged to Detective Martin Bowers, her pet psychic business is booming, and she’s overcome the emotional residue of a past relationship that destroyed her self-respect.

Just when everything’s going swell, trouble strolls through her front door. Jeffrey Ross, the ex-boyfriend who betrayed her, needs Frankie’s help. To get rid of him, she agrees to retrieve the keys he left with yet another hostile ex-girlfriend, a masseuse. Unfortunately, when Frankie shows up early at Friendly Fingers Spa, Jeff’s latest fling is face down in the new Jacuzzi. Murdered right in front of her Fiji crested iguana.

The reptile refuses to tell what he knows, and when Frankie’s involuntary entanglement in the investigation threatens to ruin Bowers’ chances for promotion, she takes steps. After calling an uneasy truce with Jeff, the two form a crime-solving team that will either solve the mystery or bring an end to everything she’s worked for.

 

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.
