Get Fluffy (Pampered Pets Mystery #2) by Sparkle Abbey

This is the 2nd installment in the Pampered Pets series. I was surprised as I started reading that the main character was different in this book than the first. In the first the main person was Caro a pet therapist. In this book the main person is Melanie, Caro's cousin. Melanie have a running feud about a brooch. They keep stealing it from one another.

This book opens up where the last book ended at the Fur Ball. She is accosted at the ball by Tova who accuses Melanie of having fleas at her shop, The Bow Wow Boutique. While they are having there discussion. Mona, the self pronounced bell of the ball decided to get involved. Mona is not very likeable and does whatever she please regardless of how it will affect others. Fluffy is Mona's diva dog.

Several days after the ball Fluffy winds up at Mel's shop. After several unanswered calls to Mona, Melanie decides to drop fluffy off. When she arrives she follows Fluffy into the house only to discover that Mona is dead, struck by Fluffy's Emmy. What follows is Melanie's attempt to steer the police to another suspect, when they begin to focus on her best friend Darby. Melanie ignores police warnings and does her best to figure out who killed Mona.

I enjoyed this installment of the Pampered Pet series just as much as the first. The switch of sleuths threw me, but since Caro was still a character in the story. I love the underlying theme of the brooch. Great story!
