"Who slipped psychic Mystic Ming the KILLER KUNG PAO?"

Fresh Fiction Review

Killer Kung Pao

Mystery Woman Sleuth

Naturopath Dr. Piper Meadows is attending the Body, Mind, & Spirit Expo to promote her fun approach to health. Unfortunately, she allowed her ninety-one year old aromatherapist Aunt Alfa to fill out the paperwork and the expo isn't quite what she expected. Even worse, her first encounter with one of the participants is psychic Mystic Ming, who immediately compares her hair to a "dung beetle nest". Piper isn't the only one offended by Mystic Ming, however, as someone ensures he drops dead and now Aunt Alfa is the primary suspect! Will Piper utilize the skills from her How to Be a PI flashcards and solve this murder mystery? And what will she do about her attraction to Tattoo Tex?

Patrice Lyle kicks off her Health Nut Mysteries series in hilarious fashion with KILLER KUNG PAO! From start to finish, KILLER KUNG PAO is jam packed with humor and wacky characters. I laughed and laughed, as Patrice Lyle's quirky sense of humor fits perfectly with the Florida setting for KILLER KUNG PAO. I've already downloaded another Patrice Lyle book to my Kindle as I want to read more by her after finishing KILLER KUNG PAO.

KILLER KUNG PAO is crazy, outrageous, and pure fun! I love the approach to health that Piper takes but it is her Aunt Alfa who steals the show. I can't wait to see what adventures we have in store for us with this fascinating cast of wild and crazy characters (and did I mention the pet pig, Brownie?)! If you are looking for something a bit offbeat, full of humor, with a nice solid mystery and a touch of romance then look no further than KILLER KUNG PAO.

SUMMARY

From acclaimed author Patrice Lyle comes a brand new series...

Dr. Piper Meadows heads to the Body, Mind & Spirit Expo expecting to solve health problems, not murder. But her first day starts off wrong when famous psychic Mystic Ming compares her hair to a “dung beetle’s nest” and tries to get her kicked out of the show. But Piper's bad-hair day gets worse when her Aunt Alfa gets in a public scuffle with Mystic Ming, where he accuses her of trying to poison him with her peanut oil-based essential oils. When Mystic Ming drops dead from his serving of killer kung pao laced with peanut oil, it's no surprise that Aunt Alfa is fingered as the prime suspect.

Unwilling to let her auntie squander her golden years in prison, Piper orders a set of How To Be a PI flashcards and sets out to find the real killer. Secrets and suspects sprout up faster than wheat grass—including a handsome tattoo artist, Tattoo Tex, who intrigues Piper more than she'd like to admit. But can she trust him? Piper had better solve the case of the killer kung pao before the murderer turns his sights on victim number two...one sleuthing doctor!
