If Kate Doesn’t Act Fast, the Only “I Do” in Michael’s Future Will Be at His Trial

Yoga instructor Kate Davidson is ready to marry her boyfriend Michael, so she’s disappointed when a special dinner doesn’t end with a proposal. But disappointment turns to dismay and outrage as she learns the real problem: Michael is already married and his estranged wife is blackmailing him.

When his wife’s body is found―by Kate and her dog, no less―Michael is strangely unable to remember where he was the night she died. Since Michael has no alibi, Kate steps up to uncover what happened.

What she walks into is a tangled web of deceit, obsession, and immigration fraud . . . with Michael trapped in the middle.

Kate is enjoying a lovely birthday meal with her boyfriend Michael when she thinks he is going to propose only to be given a piece of jewellery that is not a ring. Trying her best to hide her disappointment he realises his mistake and that is when her world comes crashing down. He wasn’t planning to propose as it turns out he is already married! Who even does that? You don’t date someone for a length of time and fail to tell them that you are married, its not something you just forget. Apparently his excuse is that he married Gabriela so she wouldn’t get deported and its was a marriage of convenience than anything else. OK male logic aside he still should have told Kate from the get go.

After he decides to confront Gabriela and ask for a divorce, he soon becomes a suspect as his wife turns up dead and he has no recollection or alibi to where he was when it happened. Kate is determined to clear his name and what ensues is a cozy mystery to whisk you away for a few hours.

This is my second foray in the Downward Dog Mystery series from Tracy Weber, having only read book 2 A Killer Retreat. Kate is just as obnoxious and annoying that I remember her to be from the previous book, the only hail Mary is Rene and Bella the dog.

That being said I did rather enjoy this story.
