Being a pet sitter should be a relatively safe occupation. But Dixie Hemingway is not a normal pet sitter. She's a former deputy with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Department and her current occupation is no guarantee that it will be a safe one. It does however bring excitement and murder to her life.
Dixie is walking her current charge, a dachshund named Mame, when the dog insists on exploring the environment. Mame's investigation leads to the body of another of Dixie's clients. The strange thing is Dixie just waved at Conrad--at least she thought it was Conrad in his car. His dog was in the backseat. Suddenly Dixie realizes the driver must have been the murderer. And that's a big problem for Dixie for she's now become a witness and that could be deadly.
Determined to find the killer, she helps Lieutenant Guidry investigate. After all, she wants to stay alive.
Dog lovers will enjoy this novel. It's got the animal element, it's a fun and fast read with interesting characters and a plot that will keep you turning the pages.
Armchair Interviews says: Check out Clement's Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter. The author is writing her third mystery in the series and you might want to look for that also.
