A Scaly Tail of Murder (Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic, #5)

A Scaly Tail of Murder
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.

“A Scaly Tail of Murder: A Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic Mystery” is book #5 in the series. In this story, Frankie Chandler’s ex comes back and muddies her relationship with her fiancé Detective Bowers. Things get messy when Frankie is implicated, along with her ex, in a murder. Things get even messier when their involvement cast doubts on Detective Bowers’ abilities and threaten his chances at a promotion. Of course, Frankie worries that this will give Bowers room for doubts about them getting married. Toss in an uncooperative exotic iguana as the primary witness and you’ve got another great Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic Mystery.

Vick uses a lot of wit and sarcasm to spin her tales. Her characters are interesting and well worth spending some time with. Personally, I’ve enjoyed this series and am looking forward to reading #6.
