A gourmand goat. A mysterious woman. A phone call that will change Frankie’s life.

Frankie Chandler’s upcoming nuptials suffer a devastating setback when her fiancé, Detective Martin Bowers, is injured on the job. How badly injured? The doctors are mum on his condition, and his colleagues are just as evasive, telling her they don’t know what he was doing on the lonely hillside where he fell.

Convinced that the key to Bowers’ recovery lies in finding out what happened, the pet psychic’s only hope for clarity is a gourmand goat who demands payment in pastries before he’ll reveal his secrets. When he does, his responses are confusing…and terrifying.

Then Bowers’ very mysterious, possibly dangerous, and definitely skeptical sister, Edith, arrives, and every step forward becomes a battle. As the dysfunctional duo maneuver through suspects, witnesses, and the occasional corpse, the pet psychic decides to go it alone, because Frankie is determined her groom will make it to the church on time…if the killer doesn’t get her first.

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.
