Karma's a Killer

A Downward Dog Mystery

De: Tracy Weber

Narrado por: Anne James

When Seattle yoga teacher Kate Davidson agrees to teach doga (yoga for dogs) at a fundraiser for a local animal shelter, she believes the only damage will be to her reputation. But a few downward-facing dogs are the least of Kate’s problems when an animal rights protest at the event leads to a suspicious fire and a drowning.

The police arrest Dharma, a woman claiming to be Kate’s estranged mother, and charge her with murder. To prove Dharma’s innocence, Kate, her boyfriend, Michael, and her German shepherd sidekick, Bella, dive deeply into the worlds of animal activism and organizational politics. As they investigate the dangerous obsessions that drive these groups, Kate and her sleuthing team discover that when it comes to murder, there’s no place like hOMe.

Praise:

"Weber's clever assemblage of suspects is eliminated one by one in her entertaining novel." (RT Book Reviews)

"[Weber's] characters are likeable and amusing, the background is interesting, and the story is ultimately satisfying." (Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine)

"A wonderful story for dog lovers, with the other human characters being just as likeable." (Suspense Magazine)

"Weber keeps readers guessing and populates the action with plenty of kooky characters." (Mystery Scene)

"Karma's a Killer continues Tracy Weber's charming series." (The Seattle Times)

"Crazy, quirky critters and their odd, yet utterly relatable human counterparts, make Karma's a Killer an appealing story. But when you add the keep-you-guessing mystery with both laugh out loud one liners and touching moments of pure poignancy the result is a truly great book!" (Laura Morrigan, national best-selling author of the Call of the Wilde mystery series)

Animal Rescue, Yoga, and Murder

Any additional comments?

Kate Davidson has agreed to teach a Doga Class (Dog Yoga) at a fundraiser for a no-kill animal shelter that her boyfriend Michael was hosting. During her Doga Class, a group of protesters going by the name HEAT showed up protesting animal ownership. Later one of the member’s of HEAT showed up at Kate’s yoga studio claiming to be Kate’s long-lost mother Dharma. Shortly after Dharma is accused of murder another one of HEAT’s members. Kate decided she couldn’t let Dharma go to jail without trying to clear her.

Kate and her German Shepard Bella have really come along way since the first book. Bella still has her issues but Kate with Michael’s help has made great strides with Bella’s health. I really enjoyed how all of the characters have become more complex with each book. I love that this series helps to promote pet adoption and animal rehabilitation. The mystery is well developed with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guess which suspect was the murderer.

I listened to the audio version of this book. The Narrator Anne James is wonderful with her accents and diction. You have no problem distinguishing between the characters. She has great pace and timing which is a great asset to the story.

I recommend this book to anyone that loves animals, yoga, and cozy mysteries. If you can get the audiobook you will be in for a great listening treat.

I received a copy of this book from the Author in hopes I would give a review. This did not influence my thoughts in any way. All the opinions of the book are honest and my own.

An Awesome Listen

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review, and found it very enjoyable. A fund raiser for a local animal rescue goes terribly wrong and Kate, the yoga instructor, is right in the middle of it. Kate struggles to deal with new knowledge about her past as she tries to solve a murder. Chaos and humor is the result in this delightful tale that is filled with unique and interesting characters.

I'm hooked

This is my first Tracy Weber book and I'm hooked. Miss Weber gives her characters depth and feeling. She writes in such a way that you can actually feel the environment around you. The mystery is thought out and keeps the readers attention. If you're an animal lover, Miss Weber's books are a great fit. She is a animal lover and that shows in the way she includes the animals in her stories. I may just even learned a bit about Yoga from reading this fun mystery.

A fun look into Kate’s past!

This was my favorite book of the series! There is a lot more depth to Kate, we learn a lot about her past which ties a lot of things together. There is a surprise guest who shows up & rocks Kate’s world. There are also some interesting twists & turns along the way too, and I didn’t suspect the killer at all! The narration was great & it was all around a very fun listen! I was given a review copy & gave my honest review

Love it.

Another great story in this series. This is the second book i have read in this series. I actually started with book 2. I look forward to going back to read book 1. This book kept my attention throughout the story. The narration was great as well. I received this book as a gift in exchange for an honest review.
