Overview
From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets—the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living... while other people are making a killing.
At the Pampered Pet Boutique in Fort Lauderdale, the dogs are treated better than the people—a fact not lost on Helen Hawthorne, who is working at the fabulous and furry canine salon where the wealthy dog owners need a muzzle more than their beloved pets.
And while some things shouldn’t happen to a dog, they do happen to humans—as Helen discovers when she drives out to the lavish home of Tammie Grimsby to deliver a freshly fluffed Yorkie, only to find Tammie stabbed to death with a pair of grooming scissors. In a panic, Helen speeds out of there—but she doesn’t report the murder, lest her own criminal past come to light.
But that doesn’t mean she can’t look into the stabbing on the sly. As Helen sniffs around both the boutique and a growing list of pure breed suspects, she knows that her bark will have to be worse than her bite if she’s going to put the collar on a killer…

Interviews
Ransom Notes Interview with Elaine Viets
Paul Goat Allen: Elaine, first off, congratulations on a great novel! I literally could not put Murder Unleashed down -- and I couldn't get enough of Helen's priceless insights into the human condition. I love your sense of humor. How much fun is it to write these books? And do you think like Helen Hawthorne in everyday life, say, like when you're in the grocery store or driving on the highway?
