3.0 out of 5 stars
So-So, March 28, 2007
This installment of the series wasn't that bad, but the ending, involving the way Kendra and Amanda set out to catch the killer, was silly and stupid. Yet again, Kendra doesn't really solve anything...she just runs around town accusing everyone she comes into contact with until someone finally confesses.
This series has so much potential. I just wish Kendra was a more enjoyable character, and that the writer didn't have the annoying habit of using lesser-known synonyms for many common words.

Petsitting for your lover's ex-wife can be murder, September 20, 2007
Amanda, Jeff Hubbard's ex-wife, asks Kendra Ballantyne for help avoiding her stalker. She wants Kendra to take care of her two Bengal cats for a few days. Kendra agrees begrudgingly. The stalker shows up and demands to know where Amanda went. Kendra refuses to tell him and realizes just what a menace he is. When Amanda returns home and finds the stalker dead in her house, she asks Kendra to help her prove her innocence. Kendra agrees only if Amanda will promise to get out of Jeff's life.
Kendra soon finds out that Leon was a serial stalker and there are quite a few people who are happy he's dead. Problem is she can't find any one person who she thinks actually killed him.
Plus Kendra begins to wonder if Jeff really wants Amanda out of his life. He says he does, but his actions tell another story.
Can Kendra find the real killer without putting herself in danger? Does she still want Jeff?
I love this series. Kendra is such a fun protagonist. She gets herself in some interesting situations. I love the peripheral characters and all the great animals she takes care of. The author has done a great job of creating such a likeable character that is three-dimensional.
There is plenty of humor along with a well-plotted cozy mystery. I highly recommend this book.

very good, July 20, 2007
I love this author. I am an animal lover and mystery lover and have found a great series of books that combine both. The main character who is a pet sitting, animal loving, mystery solving lawyer is a very likeable character. Her plot lines are very creative and so is the main character's mystery solving techniques. It is a fast read because it is hard to put down.
