A.J. Alexander just wants to have a nice Easter Sunday with her mother, but when she stumbles across a man lying facedown in her mother's garden, an Easter basket at his side, A.J. knows this isn't going to be your typical Easter egg hunt! And when she throws her back out while attempting to see if the man was dead or alive, the pain threatens to make A.J.'s whole Spring-time miserable. As A.J. recovers, her boyfriend, police detective Jake Oberlin begs her to stay out of the investigation, but when her mother is arrested for the murder of the man who turned out to be her latest beau, well A.J. isn't going to stay in bed when there are clues to be uncovered. Meanwhile, the Sacred Balance Yoga Studio, bequeathed to A.J. by her beloved Aunt Di, is in danger of being scooped up by the competition - that is if A.J.'s co-manager Lily has her way. It's up to A.J. to juggle the studio's upkeep as well as seeking out a series of coincidences that seem to link her mother's murder charges and a bevy of rich widows with the gigolo boyfriend who was found in the garden. A girl's work is never done! Good thing A.J. has her yoga to keep her calm and serene. In Diana Killian's latest "A Mantra For Murder Mystery," MURDER ON THE EIGHTFOLD PATH, she once again delights her readers with the antics of amateur sleuth/yoga studio owner A.J., her former movie star mother Elysia, and the folks who help run the Sacred Balance Yoga Studio.

The only yoga-themed cozy mystery series, with the inclusion of yoga tips and great organic recipes, makes the "Mantra For Murder" series a very tempting collection indeed.
