Synopsis
Murder muddies up the new Pet-Sitter mystery.
Already an L.A. attorney and pet-sitter, Kendra's taken on a third job, masterminding a new reality show called "Animal Auditions." But things get messier than the show's pot-bellied pigs when her hot new producer is suspected of murder.

February 08, 2010: Never say Sty is a fun little title. So are the others in this Kendra Ballentyne, Pet-Sitter Mystery series by Linda O. Johnston-Sit, Stay, Slay; Fine-Feathered Death; Nothing to Fear but Ferrets, to name but a few. And the book has a very fun cover-sweet little puppy jumping through a hoop, except that on closer observation that puppy's a piglet.
This isn't the first book in the series, but the author does a good job of telling just enough to make the background make sense. Kendra works for law firm Yurick & Associates in her everyday life, but enjoys a second career as a pet-sitter, combining clever animal psychology with excellent people skills to earn an extra penny or two and keep the wolf from the several people's doors. She's also embarking on a third career promoting a new TV reality show where animals train and perform, and get voted off by audience and judges of course.The show is financed by intriguing millionaire Dante DeFrancisco, who apparently likes Kendra for more than just her animal skills. And it's judged by the usual trio of suspects, one of whom seems set to make a few too many enemies.The combination of human and animal mysteries makes for a fun read and keeps the pages turning, even if Kendra does seem to fall too easily under the spell of Dante's charms. The author's timing, pushing each mystery a little way forwards then spinning back to another, is excellent, and whatever I thought I'd guessed as I read, there was always more to seek.A very well-constructed tale, with pot-bellied pigs (yes, and dogs); I certainly enjoyed this and I'll be looking out for more.A view into the world of reality showsby Anonymous

June 06, 2009: All of her Kendra books are interesting. I especially liked this one because of the supposed view behind the scenes of a reality show about animals. There is a bit of romance, but it is not overwhelming or explicit. Every lawyer's life should be so laid-back.
