About this ebook
"Clever humor; fabulous characters."
"The flip side of Spencer Quinn."
A murdered woman, a frightened dog, and a fake pet psychic who is in for the surprise of her life.
Frankie Chandler is a charlatan. Though she promotes herself as a pet psychic, her profound revelations come from animal behavior books and her ability to interpret the owner's body language. Then an appointment with a new client goes horribly wrong and leaves her with images of a woman's murder. Images that came from her canine client. Images that match the description of a body discovered in the Arizona desert. Being a real pet psychic doesn't come with a manual. Frankie's overwhelmed by messages from every passing pooch and cranky cat. If she doesn't figure out how to control her new ability, she'll go mad. She'll also miss additional clues that could help catch the killer, and catch the killer she must because the skeptical detective in charge of the case doesn't believe she can communicate with the crime's only witness. But the killer does, and Frankie must convince the frightened dog to reveal the whole story before it's too late...for both of them.
The debut novel in the Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic series combines mystery, romance, and the disturbing thoughts of many furry friends in an engaging story that will have you laughing out loud.
Jacqueline Vick
Jacqueline Vick writes mysteries that include farcical situations and satirical humor. She writes about characters who are reluctant to accept their greatest (and often embarrassing) gifts. She is the author of THE FRANKIE CHANDLER PET PSYCHIC MYSTERIES about a woman who, after faking her psychic abilities for years, discovers animals can communicate with her. The series evolved out of her desperate attempts to train a rescued mutt with fear-based aggression. Two visits with animal communicators inspired the article Calling All Canine Clairvoyants for Fido Friendly Magazine, and, later, Frankie Chandler. Her second series, THE HARLOW BROTHER MYSTERIES, features brothers Edward and Nicholas Harlow. Edward, a former college linebacker, now ghost writes the Aunt Civility etiquette books. Nicholas is his secretary and general dogsbody. Her first mystery, Family Matters, was a semifinalist in the 2009 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Competition. Her short stories have appeared in numerous publications, including Future Mystery Anthology Magazine and The Best of Everyday Fiction Two Anthology. Her Harlow Brothers novella, Lovely As, was a finalist for the Black Orchid Novella Contest.
