Fun Mystery: Groomed for Murder (A Pet Boutique Mystery) by Annie Knox

I love reading mysteries with pets in them, and recently enjoyed "Groomed for Murder" (A Pet Boutique Mystery) by Annie Knox. Previously I read the first book in the series called "Paws for Murder" and it was equally as enjoyable. The lead character, Izzy McHale owns and manages a pet boutique in a small Minnesota town. She's surrounded by great characters, her  co-worker Rena, her Aunt Dolly, a next door shop owner that wants to close her down, a rival pet store owner, 2 possible romantic interests and many others. 
   The characters make the mystery, and this will keep you guessing. Izzy defies Jack, the detective, and conducts her own investigation. It's a fun read!
 
ABOUT THE BOOK: 
Izzy McHale wants her new Trendy Tails Pet Boutique in Merryville, Minnesota, to be the height of canine couture and feline fashions. But in a week of wedding bells, someone is about to hold their peace…

forever. Love is in the air, and Izzy is hard at work coordinating two special weddings at Trendy Tails. First, Izzy’s friend and mentor, Ingrid, will be tying the knot with her old flame. And a week later, Izzy will host “pupptials” for two lovable dogs.

But even with the hullabaloo, the Trendy Tails crew is intrigued by Daniel, an enigmatic writer boarding above the shop who’s caught the attention of Izzy’s zany aunt Dolly, who gossips like most people breathe.

Unfortunately, it’s Daniel who stops breathing when he drops dead at the altar on Ingrid’s wedding day. Then Dolly is found at the scene with the murder weapon, and it’s up to Izzy, her Trendy Tails pals, and her scrappy pets, Packer and Jinx, to find a killer before the two affianced doggies bark down the aisle
