Description
When doggie-yoga instructor Elle Pressley’s eccentric Greek client tells her she’s been cursed by the evil eye, Elle shrugs it off – until she discovers a body hanging from the kitchen rafters at a Halloween party.
Finding herself dragged into the ensuing investigation, Elle turns to her new boyfriend, Devon Burke, the hunky local P.I. But while she’s learning to trust again and open her heart, she’s also discovering that trusting the wrong person can be a deadly mistake. With Devon distracted by new evidence in his parents’ murder case and Elle’s streak of bad luck continuing, is fate about to deliver them both into the hands of a determined killer?

I liked this book. The end had me reading quickly so I could see what happened to everyone. The beginning and the middle were a little slow but still, this is worth a read. I especially am drawn to anything with dogs in it or animals of any kind (ala Rita Mae Brown's series). So I would say a more dog centric plot would have made me happier.

I am new to this author and the description of the book was interesting so I gave it a try. This was a quirky story and I enjoyed reading the book.
Elle Pressley is a doggie yoga instructor and when a client asks her to teach her eccentric mother and dog some exercises, Elle is in no position to refuse, she needs money and she sees no reason not to take the job. Elle enters the world of the rich, and before long she is wrapped up in a family of secrets, betrayal and murder.
I received a cop of this book via NetGalley in exchange for my fair and honest review.

I absolutely loved this book. A real page turner with a definite twist at the end that I never saw coming.

4-1/2 Stars. Elle Pressley has a dream job in a tropical paradise. She teaches doga to wealthy women and their dogs at the Pampered Pup Spa & Resort on Moon Key, a private island in Florida. Elle has a pet bulldog mix, Buddha, who helps her teach classes and is her constant companion. Invited to a lavish Halloween party at a client's mansion, Elle and boyfriend, Devon-- P.I.--witness an ugly confrontation between their host, Michael, and his daughter, Cali. Moments later, Michael's body is discovered hanging from the kitchen rafters in a Halloween prank gone terribly wrong--or--perhaps a crime of passion. While the police try to piece together the few clues they find; the victim's family and staff are under suspicion. Can you guess whodunit?
Shannon Esposito is a whiz at penning shocking endings and this story has one. The story gets your attention from the beginning, and pet lovers will enjoy the appearances of all the pets. Fun reading!
