Nothing unsightly about this book

I enjoyed this book. This is a very serious subject (hate crimes and things people do because of there prejudices) but the author covered it nicely in this fun cozy mystery and it worked well as a plot. The main reason it worked is because of all the great characters and the fact that the author broke it up with moments of humour and high jinks, even the police detective got in on the act. I love the fact that Salem isn't perfect, as this makes her down to earth and like able. I also love her job and think a dog groomer is unusual for a cosy and that alone sets this series part from the norm and makes it well worth a listen, especially with the addition of Dale as he is good for a few chuckles. The mystery was good and I had no idea who the killer was or why because there was plenty of suspects and I kept changing my mind. I can't wait for the next book.
Salem isn't cheating on her diet, her car just happened to take her to the fast food restaurant but when she sees a body fall out of a dumpster all thoughts of food fly out of the window. She is barely home before Viv is at her door wanting to investigate. The man was naked and with only one man either of them can think of who has gone missing and with a lot of charity money, for the homeless, is a man that just came out of the closet. Is his death a hate crime? Or to do with the missing money? As tempers flare over the situation and the media weighs in on the discussion, Salem and Viv gain a new detective to help ask the difficult questions. Can the three of them find the killer or are they barking up the wrong tree?
I like Sandra Murphy as a narrator, she is one of my favourites because I know if she is reading the story then I am in for a real treat and a great performance.
