No zen in sight as Sheila Mackey untangles a yoga instructor's murder.

Sheila’s settling into life in Haines Tavern, Kentucky. Sure, she has secrets to keep, but things are rolling along nicely.

Trips to the dog park with her rescue collie Gracie, meeting her friend Clara and Gracie’s friend LuLu. Preparing for more work on her house by another dog park acquaintance, former cop Teague O’Donnell. And regular, relaxing yoga classes at the Beguiling Way studio … until Sheila and Clara encounter a new twist when someone murders their instructor.

Law enforcement says the killer was a passing-through stranger now long gone. Sheila and Clara have their doubts.

This whodunit with humor is the third book in USA Today bestselling author Patricia McLinn’s cozy mystery series, Secret Sleuth, which begins with a murder on a transatlantic cruise in Death on the Diversion. In Death on Torrid Avenue and later books, accidental investigator Sheila Mackey returns to dry land in the Midwest, where mysteries abound in her new Kentucky home.

Readers react to Death on Beguiling Way:
"This book was my favorite so far in this series. I love getting to know the characters a little more and think about what is going to develop in each of their lives. ... I got hooked after a few pages and couldn’t stop. Clara and Sheila work really well together and they are a perfect pair to solve these crimes."

"If you like a clever mystery, with lots of insider dog humor, don't miss this series. English lit lovers will find loads of one-liners just for them as well."

"These books are terrific! And, having a collie myself, I have to tell you, the description of the collie alarm system is spot on!"

What readers have to say about the Secret Sleuth series:
"I always love a good mystery and both of the published (so far) books in this series meet my criteria for twists, turns, and who-done-its easily. Patricia McLinn does not disappoint with her sharp characters and enough secrets to cover everything. If you like a good, clean mystery, do yourself a favor and read these two books."

"McLinn has created a fabulous new murder mystery series with this book being the second installment. Wonderful characters, both human and canine, with an interesting backdrop. I highly recommend."

"McLinn's Secret Sleuth series has the same winning components of her Caught Dead in Wyoming series: a likeable central character, well-developed setting, fun supporting cast, and a great story."
