About this eBook

“Clever humor; fabulous characters.”

“The flip side of Spencer Quinn.”


A murdered woman, a frightened dog, and a fake pet psychic who is in for the surprise of her life.

Frankie Chandler is a charlatan. Though she promotes herself as a pet psychic, her profound revelations come from animal behavior books and her ability to interpret the owner’s body language. Then an appointment with a new client goes horribly wrong and leaves her with images of a woman’s murder. Images that came from her canine client. Images that match the description of a body discovered in the Arizona desert. Being a real pet psychic doesn’t come with a manual. Frankie’s overwhelmed by messages from every passing pooch and cranky cat. If she doesn’t figure out how to control her new ability, she’ll go mad. She’ll also miss additional clues that could help catch the killer, and catch the killer she must because the skeptical detective in charge of the case doesn’t believe she can communicate with the crime’s only witness. But the killer does, and Frankie must convince the frightened dog to reveal the whole story before it's too late...for both of them.

The debut novel in the Frankie Chandler Pet Psychic series combines mystery, romance, and the disturbing thoughts of many furry friends in an engaging story that will have you laughing out loud.

Enchanting mystery and laugh-out-loud fun. I couldn't put it down and read the book over a two-day period. Ms. Vick has written a great combination of a baffling mystery, some hilarious scenes, and very realistic characters. I will be reading ALL of her books as time and money permit.

I haven't read all of it yet, but was disappointed in the beginning to discover it's a portal fantasy rather than a true epic fantasy and that's hard to overlook for someone like me who's due hard for fantasy realms where the modern world doesn't exist....
