A Taste Fur Murder

by Dixie Lyle

Published 25 February 2014

Introducing an animal-loving Gal Friday with a telepathic cat, a shapeshifting dog, and a ghost of a chance of solving supernatural crime...

Meet Deirdre "Foxtrot" Lancaster. Trusted employee of eccentric zillionairess Zelda Zoransky, Foxtrot manages a mansion, a private zoo, and anything else that strikes her boss's fancy. Her job title is Administrative Assistant, but chaos handler would be more accurate. Especially after she glimpses a giant ghost-beast in Zelda's pet cemetery. For some strange reason, Foxtrot is seeing animal spirits. And, ready or not, in this mystery from Dixie Lyle, the fur's about to hit the fan...

A TASTE FUR MURDER

Still reeling, Foxtrot comes home to find her cat Tango--her dead cat Tango--alive and well and communicating telepathically. But that's not all: There's an ectoplasmic dog named Tiny who changes breeds with a shake of his tail...and can sniff out a clue like nobody's business. So when a coworker drops dead while organizing closets, Tiny is on the case. Can Foxtrot and her new companions ferret out the killer among a menagerie of suspects--human and otherwise--before death takes another bite?

To Die Fur

by Dixie Lyle

Published 26 August 2014

Deirdre "Foxtrot" Lancaster is up to her neck in paranormal maintenance. Holding down the fort for the zany billionaire Zelda Zorannsky, she's got responsibilities up the wazoo. Such as hosting a party for the world's richest animal collectors. And talking non-stop telepathically with loyal furry friends Whiskey and Tango. Oh, and figuring out who killed the half-tin albino Liger she was supposed to keep an eye on. With a mansion-full of wacky suspects and a few clues on a cold trail, Foxtrot is going to need all the help she can get from Whiskey and Tango. True, these suspects have enough money and connections to cover their tracks - but if anyone can figure out how a thousand-pound, one-of-a-kind cat ended up belly-up, Foxtrot and her pair of extrasensory pets can...

Marked Fur Murder

by Dixie Lyle

Published 31 March 2015

When zillionairess Zelda Zoransky decides to throw one of her famous parties--with a guest list as colorful and diverse as her private zoo--it's up to Deirdre "Foxtrot" Lancaster, assistant extraordinaire, to pull the whole thing off. But even with the help of her telepathic cat Tango and ectoplasmic pooch Whiskey, it's one killer assignment. Especially when she finds a corpse in the pool. The victim is the sister of Deirdre's boyfriend, Ben. The cause of death appears to be a plugged-in hair dryer that fell in the water. Ben, however, insists that a few volts couldn't have killed Ann. Like him, she's a descendent of the Cowichan tribe who, according to legend, has a way with lightning. One of the guests must have marked her for murder! But when the suspects include a Russian pet psychic, a schizophrenic writer, and a random rock star, it's more than puzzling to Whiskey, Tango, and Foxtrot. It's electrifying.

A Deadly Tail

by Dixie Lyle

Published 2 February 2016

Diedre "Foxtrot" Lancaster is in new territory. Telepathically communicating with her dog and cat to solve murders? That's old hat. Having a movie filmed on the crazy and wacky Zoransky mansion grounds, and making a new commiserating assistant friend to boot? Now that's a whole new ball of wax. Yet not all goes according to plan. The universe clearly hates Foxtrot, because now she's got a dead body on her hands, an explosion in the honey badger den, and the epic, classic film argument of the ages - who are the better actors, canines versus felines rages on between Whiskey and Tango. And to get this film, and the dead body, wrapped up and put to bed, Foxtrot is going to need her mystery-solving pets more than ever.

PURRFECTLY DEAD

The magic turns tragic when one of the escape artists ends up dead. This is no disappearing act—it’s murder. The suspects include a scientist with a 3D printer, a psychedelically-impaired rock star, and a serpent-tongued ghost with ties to the Garden of Eden. Now it’s up to Foxtrot, Tango, and Whiskey to figure out which guest committed the crime before they reach they end of this deadly game of Clue. How will this tail end?
