Murder Unleashed
Elaine Viets
First Time in Paperback - With a résumé that includes attempted assault and alimony evasion, Helen Hawthorne has to take on a series of dead-end jobs to make ends meet. Unfortunately, they’re exposing her to a lot of people who end up dead...
At the Pampered Pet Boutique, Helen hustles a selection of
canine cuisine and couture that beats anything in her own
fridge or closet. The star groomer rivals any prima donna
stylist of the fashion world, and when Helen delivers a dog
to a client he’s insulted, she finds the blond trophy wife
stretched out naked by her pool, ten-inch grooming scissors
sticking out of her chest. Later that day, an adorable Labradoodle puppy is kidnapped
from the boutique. Barkley is the most valuable pup in
Fort Lauderdale—if his owner sues, the store will be
ruined. To add to her stress, there’s a Category Three
hurricane headed straight for South Florida. Now, Helen’s
got to find the killer and the kidnapper, or her new life
will be gone with the wind...
