Pet Sitting and Murder

Kendra Ballantyne is continuing her pet sitting business while studying to take the ethics exam in hopes of reinstating her law degree. A neighbor's Hummer crashes into her house. She discovers her tenants living in her former home are keeping illegal ferrets. Soon after she discovers a corpse in her tenants' den. The ferrets are the prime suspects. The corpse turned out to be Chad Chatsworth and Charlotte LaVerne, her tenant, and her boytoy Yul become suspects. Charlotte asks Kendra to help prove they didn't do it. Kendra had recently helped prove her own innocence. With the help of her boyfriend Jeff Hubbard, a P.I. and security specialist, Kendra sets out to look into Chad's background. She finds he had many enemies. Can she discover who killed him and why he was killed in her home and the ferrets were implicated without putting herself or others in danger? I really enjoy this series. Kendra is such a fun character. Her pet sitting adds so much to the enjoyment of this series. Plus her relationship with Jeff and police detective Ned Noralles make for a fun read. This cozy is a fun, easy read. I always find myself coming to the end of the book before I realize it since I just want to keep reading! I highly recommend this book and the whole series. Can't wait to read Fine-Feathered Death, the next in the series. Please check out www.mysteryloverscorner.com

Great read, fun mystery

A great read with unique characters, witty dialogue and a roller coaster romance, I was sorry to see it end. Ms. Johnston has even managed to peak my interest in the furry creatures. A must read for mystery fans, romance fans or anyone who likes a good book! I can't wait for the next in the Kendra series.

Great Series

This being the second of the Petsitter Mystery Series, I'm patiently awaiting the third. I love the authors easy going writing style which shows a young heroine, but one with obvious intelligence. The mix of law, animals, murder and mystery, makes for a fun read. I personally liked how the author wove through the information from her first to her second book, that shows true writing talent. It wasn't repetive or intrusive. Can't wait to see the next one.

Nothing to Fear...

Funny, cute and entertaining. Kendra Ballantyne has the knack for finding trouble with petsitting, I didn't know it could be so entertaining. Once you start reading you won't want to put the book down until the last page. "Nothing to Fear But Ferrets" and the first in the series "Sit, Stay, Slay" are both enjoyable reads. I look forward to the next book.
