The Paws and Pose Mysteries Series

Florida's only doggie-yoga instructor takes on a new sideline in sleuthing in this "fun new addition to the pet cozy genre" (Booklist).   Doggie-yogi Elle Pressley just wants to teach her classes at Pampered Pup Spa & Resort and save enough money to move out of her crazy mother's house. Then the cuddly spirit of her late childhood dog, Angel, appears. As adorable as Angel is, Elle knows it's a bad omen. Sure enough, the next day one of her wealthy clients is found dead in a mud bath. Celeste had her enemies—especially the woman who stole her husband. But the clues are leading to Dr. Ira Craft, the Botox king of Moon Key island, whose frantic wife Hope happens to be Elle's best friend.   Determined to clear Ira's name, if only for Hope's sake, Elle enlists the help of private investigator Devon Burke, whose Irish charm and devilish good looks make him easy to fall for. But someone is determined to stop Elle from uncovering the truth. And now that Devon's involved, it's not just Elle's life that's in danger. Her heart is too.

Florida's only doggie-yoga coach and part-time sleuth is back to shake loose a Halloween curse and a killer in this "quirky, charming" mystery (Publishers Weekly).   When doga instructor Elle Pressley's eccentric new Greek client tells her she's been cursed by the evil eye, Elle shrugs it off. The wealthy old woman is paying her an insane amount for a thirty-minute private puppy session, Elle's Pampered Pup Spa & Resort is booming, and her romance with sexy Irish PI Devon Burke is as hot as the Moon Key island sun. What curse?   Then Elle is invited back to the client's mansion for a Halloween bash and finds a body hanging from the kitchen rafters. Elle thinks that it's much more than a scary prank gone wrong. With Devon distracted by new evidence in his parents' murder case, Elle and her seventy-pound bulldog mix, Buddha, have to tread the investigative waters themselves—and every new bit of bad luck along the way. While Elle's begins to wonder if she really is cursed. A very determined killer is going to make sure of it.
