Still continuing with the authors from my lists… I have two authors who specialize in Mystery Series with a Pet Sitting Theme:
Blaize Clement is a psychologist who writes a mystery series that is set in Florida which features Dixie Hemingway. Dixie gave up her job as a deputy sheriff and now confines her sleuthing to the "cozy type" while she pet-sits as a profession.
The Petsitter Mystery Series is written by a contract lawyer who absolutely loves animals… Linda O. Johnston. Her petsitter happens to also be a lawyer, with a darling little Cavalier King Charles Spaniel by the name of Lexie who brings her much joy. (I'm a little partial to those sweetie-pie dogs… as my mother has one who she absolutely loves.)
Now, on to the Mystery Series with a Pet Store Theme. I have one author from my lists who fall in this category:
Barbara Block is also known as Isis Crawford, and vice versa. But, it is as Barbara Block that she writes the Robin Light Mystery Series, which features a pet store owner who has a nose for solving mysteries.
Lydia Adamson writes three series, one of which features Alice Nestleton… actress and occassional cat-sitter.
(Can you tell that I love dogs? I refer to them in the "who" not the "that"… I'm the same with cats!)

Are there other horse lover mystery writters other than Rita Mae Brown? I have read all of hers and loved them. I want more!!!
Anne,
I just wrote a blog about authors who have equestrian mysteries. I hope that it gives you some authors who you enjoy!
I haven't read this series yet but there is a pet detective series by Patricia Guiver and the first book is Delilah Doolittle and the Purloined Pooch (Pet Detective Mystery Series).
Leslie,
Thanks so much for letting us know about this new cozy series!
Had to put my post on this page, as Blaize Clement is one of my very favorites! The only negative thing I could say is that she hasn't written enough (yet) to keep my bookshelves full! Thank you so much for this site – I am constantly recommending it and taking printoffs from it with me to the bookstore and library!
Don't you just wish that your favorite authors would write faster?!? Thanks for writing and letting me know you enjoy the site…
