A Pose Before Dying
Sure to appeal to fans of Miranda James, Cate Conte, Eileen Watkins, Laurien Berenson, and all lovers of cozy mysteries featuring animal companions!



Finding this killer will be a real stretch . . .



Ashley Branson has a lot to prove with her new cat yoga studio, A Purrfect Pose. It's a place for humans to find inner wellness-and adopt adorable cats from the local shelter. It's also a chance for Ash to run her own life, out from under her overbearing mother and a stifling relationship. So far, so successful. Until she discovers one of her new clients, a much-disliked college professor, dead in her studio, locked in child's pose . . .



To make matters worse, Ash's hapless always-in-trouble brother, Hunter, instantly becomes the cops' prime suspect. Determined to clear his name and save her business, Ash does a deep lunge into the surprising-and strange-connections the victim had with her other clients. But countless suspects, contradictory leads, not to mention people desperate to see her studio shut down, mean Ash will have to stretch to the max to outthink a clever killer who's ready to strike her red in tooth and claw . . .

Despite family expectations, Ashley Branson forges her own path to start a yogic version of a cat café, whose goal is to adopt out cats and build a clientele of yoga enthusiasts. But shortly after the launch of A Purrfect Pose, Ashley's attention pivots to solving the murder of a much-disliked college professor whose posed corpse has been found in the yoga studio. Not only is her studio threatened, but Ash's wayward brother Hunter might also be involved. Ash's anxiety as a brand-new small-business owner is heightened, but cute cats and encouraging friends strengthen her admirable resolve. Complex family history and pressure to join the Branson family business also add depth to the story. Finally, the revelatory ending gives more interactions to look forward to among Cardinal Lake's dynamic residents. VERDICT While cat yoga may be an extremely cozy activity and setting for a novel, Erickson ("Bookstore Café Mystery" series) also offers a vexing murder mystery that will unsettle and intrigue readers. This series starter quickly piles up the tension and conflict and establishes a main character who's worth rooting for.—Hazel Ureta
