Murder Unleashed A Dead-end Job Mystery

"Working at the Barker Brothers Pampered Pet Boutique, Helen Hawthorne hustles a selection of canine cuisine and couture that beats anything in her own fridge or closet. And to top it off, the star groomer - with his towering rages - rivals any prima donna stylist of the fashion world. When Helen goes to drop off a dog at the home of a client he's insulted, she finds the blond trophy wife stretched out naked by her pool with a pair of ten-inch grooming scissors sticking out of her chest. Afraid of awkward questions from the police, Helen erases her prints from the scene." "Later that same day, an adorable labradoodle puppy named Barkley 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 Helen's stress, there's a hurricane headed straight for South Florida, and her boyfriend, Phil, is beginning to realize she has a few secrets up her hardworking sleeve. Now Helen has to find the killer and the kidnapper, and come clean, or her new life will be gone with the wind."--BOOK JACKET.Viets, Elaine is the author of 'Murder Unleashed A Dead-end Job Mystery', published 2006 under ISBN 9780451218407 and ISBN 045121840X.
