This paperback is the 1st in a new series," A Call of the Wilde Mystery".  Grace Wilde is blessed (cursed?) with being able to telepathically communicate with animals. She finds that most domesticated animals can actually communicate with language, but sometimes, she must project feelings to control them. In this novel, basketball star and son of the governor, Mark Richardson, has been murdered and the only one who may have witnessed the crime is his doberman pincher, Jax.  Grace is called in to help on the case, but in the mean time, she is distracted by the hot surfer-boy detective, Kai.  Will Kai understand her ability or will he think she is looney?  This little book has lots of twists and turns. Nothing is ever simple for poor Grace.  Not a bad book to curl up on the couch and read while you snuggle with your own pooch.
