When novice P.I. Geri Sullivan first heard her adopted Chihuahua talk, she thought she'd gone barking mad. But it turns out Pepe is a savvy sleuth—and if he has his way, he'll soon be a bone-a-fido celebrity, too, as Pepe and Geri are Hollywood-bound to star in the reality show Dancing With Dogs. So far, so bueno.
Then Nigel St. Nigel, the judge everyone loves to hate, becomes the judge someone wanted dead. Pepe and Geri are hot on a killer's heels but between perfecting the paso doble and protecting Pepe's Pomeranian lady love, both have their paws full. If Pepe's new status as a Beverly Hills Chihuahua goes to his head, it may be the last waltz for Geri's crime-biting compadre. . .

The Hollywood sound-stage set for Dancing with Dogs (a new reality TV show) turns murder scene when one of the judges is found dead. Wanna-be PI Geri and Pepe, her chihuahua, are contestants on the show and soon find themselves sleuthing. The arrival of Jimmy G., Geri's boss, and her almost-boyfriend, Felix, complicates matters. Soon a wild tumble of false accusations and reality TV-staged confrontations blur what is really happening and what is fake. Geri must trust Pepe to show her the way. VERDICT Hop on board the TV-studio tour bus for this light cozy. Curtis (a partnership of Waverly Fitzgerald and Curtis Colbert) makes a talking chihuahua seem normal, without going overboard. This second series title (after Dial C for Chihuahua) is awash in pop-culture references and is obviously geared toward dog lovers. Try with books by Jerrilyn Farmer and Linda Johnston.
