A.J. is unlucky enough to be the one to discover the murder of a woman she knows. This isn't the only complication in her life. Her ex-husband, Andy, turns up telling her his partner and he are finished and would it be possible to stay with her and figure out what he will do next. Eight months after her aunt's death, A.J. and Lilly are still having issues with the yoga business. All the amateur investigating has caused a rift in her relationship with Detective Jake Oberlin. This is the second book in the series and I'm looking forward to the next book. I agree with another reviewer who said the label/name dropping of high priced clothing is just wrong for someone who truly appreciates yoga. I hope the author of these books develops a better understanding of yoga and incorporates that more in the the lead character's development in future books.I still feel like it's a Harlequin romance meets a grown up Nancy Drew. Why can't a woman be happy without a relationship? If Jake was just a cop, I think it would be more interesting.What I do like is the variety of characters who are brought in as suspects.The supposedly English mannerisms of the mother are annoying. They were annoying in the first book, too.I would like to see the other yoga studio characters more developed. Since this is a series set around a yoga studio owner, it would make the series far more interesting if we knew more about the other yoga teachers. Also, what happened to the odd neighbor lady who in the first book was introduced as an enemy of the mother? She's nowhere in this book. Perhaps she'll pop up in the third.Diana Killian, if you read any of these reviews, please learn more about yoga and have your lead character develop more yogic qualities. Perhaps she goes off to a Yoga Journal workshop or retreat and comes back a better yogi.
What do You think about Dial Om For Murder (2009)?
Good book, better than the 1st. I'm still warming up to the characters in this one.
