When zillionairess Zelda Zoransky decides to throw one of her famous parties--with a guest list as colorful and diverse as her private zoo--it's up to Deirdre "Foxtrot" Lancaster, assistant extraordinaire, to pull the whole thing off. But even with the help of her telepathic cat Tango and ectoplasmic pooch Whiskey, it's one killer assignment. Especially when she finds a corpse in the pool. The victim is the sister of Deirdre's boyfriend, Ben. The cause of death appears to be a plugged-in hair dryer that fell in the water. Ben, however, insists that a few volts couldn't have killed Ann. Like him, she's a descendent of the Cowichan tribe who, according to legend, has a way with lightning. One of the guests must have marked her for murder! But when the suspects include a Russian pet psychic, a schizophrenic writer, and a random rock star, it's more than puzzling to Whiskey, Tango, and Foxtrot. It's electrifying.… (mais)

This is one of those books and one of those series that most people would pass by based on the premise and the blurb, but most people would be missing out on some incredibly subtle, talented writing that blends humour with sadness, and fantasy with realism in a beautiful way.

Marked Fur Murder centers on Native American myths; specifically Thunderbirds. I love reading about the N.A. myths (as well as the Australian Aboriginal ones, which are touched upon briefly too) so I found the plot particularly interesting, which made up a bit for how convoluted it got at some points.

A sub-plot about the enduring relationship between an elderly lady with Alzheimer's and her cat Marbles cost this story 1/2 star from me; not because it wasn't good - it was gorgeous and heart-rending - but because what happened to Marbles isn't something I can read about. Seeing the karmic justice was awesome, but I'd have preferred not reading about it at all, but that's truly a personal issue.

Don't know if there will be a fourth book or not, but I'll be keeping an eye out for it. (

Enjoyable, cozy, like the characters. Nice little twist on the snake and the thunderbird at the end. (
