What’s a pet psychic’s worst nightmare? A tarot card-reading aunt, a cranky cockatoo, and a very dead Blue-Ribbon Queen. 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. Mystery meets romance in this comedic romp through the minds of furry and feathered friends.
Jaqueline Vick wrote another enjoyable read in her Frankie Chandler series. This is the second book I’ve read in this series and I’m looking forward to starting book#3 very soon.
The characters are very interesting and quirky. Of course, Frankie’s psychic powers are interesting to read about and I enjoy the characters’ interactions. The plot isn’t one that I was able to figure out ahead of time, though I’m not much of a sleuth. I find the vocabulary refreshingly clean and the relationships are spicy enough without being disappointing.
So, if a reader wants a nice, entertaining, witty, and clean mystery, the series, and this book included, is for them.
