Dixie Hemmingway is a former sheriff's deputy who leaves the force after the tragic death of her husband and daughter. Feeling that she can no longer deal with people, Dixie decides to care for animals and becomes a pet sitter. One morning, at the home of a wealthy client, Dixie is shocked to find the body of a man who was killed in an unusual fashion. He is face down in a cat's bowl of water, his head securely taped to the sides of the dish. Dixie tries to find her client to tell Marilee about the body but Marilee can't be found. Dixie becomes involved in an intricate plot of deception while trying to find Marilee. This is an enjoyable debut novel. -- recommended by Donna G. - Virtual Services Department [If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try the works of Ellery Adams and Kathryn O'Sullivan.]
