ABOUT A KILLER RETREAT
Six months after solving her friend’s murder, commitment-challenged Kate Davidson has recovered from her injuries and settled into a relatively calm life with rambunctious German shepherd Bella. Now, if only her relationship with boyfriend, Michael, would slow down to match her laid-back yogic lifestyle…
When Kate gets an offer to trade teaching yoga for a weeklong stay at a newly reopened vegan retreat center, she jumps at the opportunity, even though it means being forced to endure the wedding ceremony of the center’s two caretakers. Avoiding the M-word turns out to be the least of Kate’s problems when a wedding guest is found floating face-down in the resort’s hot tub, shortly after a loud, public (and somewhat embarrassing) fight with Kate.
The police pick Kate as their number-one suspect, so she’s forced to join forces with Michael, best friend Rene, and sidekick Bella to find the real killer. But they’ll have to solve the murder before the police arrest Kate, or her next gig may last a lifetime—behind bars.
REVIEWS
“An engaging mystery full of fun and fascinating characters and unexpected twists. An intriguing read that includes yoga lessons and feisty dogs.”

“Fans of Tracy Weber’s charming Murder Strikes a Pose have eagerly awaited the return of yoga instructor Kate Davidson and her challenging yet lovable German shepherd, Bella. Happily, Weber's second yoga mystery, A Killer Retreat, is as delightful as her first. Readers will love the setting, the complex mystery, and the romance of Kate’s second adventure. Especially noteworthy in this popular series is the appealing combination of strength and vulnerability that Kate and Bella share. Enjoy!”

Tracy, I tried to leave a comment a little while ago but I think I did something wrong. I LOVE the cover. The colors are so appealing, and the artist did such a great job with the sketch! I enjoyed Murder Strikes a Pose tremendously, and I'm looking forward to the release of Killer Retreat ~
Love the cover, Tracy. Can't wait to read what comes between them!
Love the cover, Tracy. It promises a light, fun read. That's what a cover is supposed to do - give the reader an idea of the story and, maybe more important, the mood of the story.
Hi,Tracy,from the looks of your cover art, Kate's about to be snatched right out of her time of calm, and tossed into more murder and mayhem.I plan on having a ringside seat for her and Bella's new adventure.
What a fun cover.
Fabulous cover, Tracy! I loved Murder Strikes a Pose and can't wait to read this one.

It really is a cute cover, Tracy. And I don't pretend to know the whys of when comments actually appear!
Adorable cover! I loved the first book in this series, and can't wait to read A KILLER RETREAT. Looking forward to seeing what Kate and Bella encounter next.
Fantastic. The type is clear and easy to read. Love the dog with the police tape.
Thanks, guys! The crime scene tape in the dog's mouth was my idea. ;-)

Thank you, and good luck on the giveaway!
The cover of your second book makes a new reader want to become acquainted with the characters, and a return reader want to know what Bella's uncovered and how it will affect Kate.
Thanks, Nan!
The cover is adorable. Let me know if the puppy is up for adoption :)
Kait--I'm so glad you like the cover! Neither Kate--my protagonist--or I will EVER give up our dogs! ;-)
