Dierdre Foxtrot Lancaster is an administrative assistant to
an eccentric billionaire, Zelda Zoransky. What a bland
title for a job that includes managing a private zoo,
keeping the household on an even keel, booking last minute
parties and a host of other duties. Foxtrot loves her job
as chaotic as it but sometimes she needs a break.
ZZ's family allowed one friend to bury their beloved pet on
the property and now there is a whole cemetery full. This
is Foxtrot's escape. After a particularly bad day, she
heads
to the cemetery and starts seeing weird things. There is a
feeling of impending doom. When someone is killed by
unusual
means at ZZ's latest house party, Foxtrot will jump into
action.
With two odd sidekicks to aid her investigation, Foxtrot's
life will never be the same. First, her two companions are
the cat she owned for many years and a dog who is able to
change size and shape as the occasion demands. Who knew
that pets were reincarnated? Then she learns that the
cemetery is a portal which allows dead pets to visit their
beloved owners.
As the three of them investigate and share clues with ZZ's
security staff, they will not only have to expose the killer
but prevent an ectoplasmic disaster. One of the animals
buried in the cemetery is out to destroy whoever it can.
The premise of this series is unusual and interesting. When
the first beings are introduced, I was a little dubious
about whether I would enjoy it but Ms. Lyle has done a great
job of combining realities. The mystery was intriguing and
the otherworldly experiences all started to seem credible. I
look forward to more in this series.
Introducing an animal-loving Gal Friday with a telepathic
cat, a shapeshifting dog, and a ghost of a chance of solving
supernatural crime…
