Very cute book- if you like little dogs and/or reality TV competition shows, I think you will enjoy it. The mystery plot was decent (though I did figure some of it out), but I liked the way the Chihuahua and his new owner chatted. You almost forget that dogs can't talk!
My one complaint is the inconsistency when it came to people overhearing her talk to the dog. Some would make comments to her about it and then other times it was like the people were unaware of it.
I will definitely read another from this series though!

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. . .
Anyone loving mysteries has to enjoy this book! Pepe, the talking Chihuahua with his great smeller and terrific sense of hearing is one of the best P.I.s around and he almost NEVER shuts up driving his poor adoptee often into the most peculiar, humorous predicaments Ive ever read. The mystery is well plotted, carries through the whole book just great and is a pure pleasure to read! A wonderful P.I. team!
