Jenna is a student, a former girlfriend, a part time bartender, very brave and crazy as a bed bug.She wants to be an expert detective in order to get her brother out of prison for a murder he did not commit.She has left her boyfriend because he is a cheating scum.  Her alternative place to live after she leaves is with a friend who owns a pet sitting business.  Dave, her friend, recruits her to work for him.Her first job is walking a French Bulldog for a very handsome wealthy man.  Max the Frenchie, has a mind of his own and drags Jenna to follow his master.  When she does, she sees he and the man he is meeting apparently being mugged by two big burly men.  So, she follows.  Due to a series of unusual accidents, she stops the mugging, and rescues the two men, but not without one of them being shot.After all that, things get really dangerous.There is international intrigue, policemen, mobsters, former CIA experts, Arabian princesses and more danger than you can imagine.This book is a page turner.  I was absolutely unable to stop reading.  It is very well plotted and the mystery is not easy to solve.  My heart is still pounding from the conclusion.  The characters are interesting.  Jenna is a very likeable protagonist and I look forward to the next book in the series.  She meets very wealthy and powerful people.  But, of course those are the people who would be hiring an expensive pet service.The possibilities for future adventures seem to be something that could provide a very long series.I recommend this book, but not if you are faint of heart.  We would not want anyone to keel over before they find the answers to all the questions.
