Dragon Your Feet

A screwball fantasy whodunnit with a dragon detective, an unsolved murder mystery, and a cookbook that's arrived at the worst possible time.

Duncan — detecting dragon and omelet aficionado — has survived thuggish goblin mayors, high-strung veelas, and most recently, an unfortunate incident involving a bucket of glue. But nothing could have prepared him for the horror he's currently facing: a diet.

To distract himself from his growling stomach, Duncan decides to tackle the three-year-old mystery behind the death of a centaur racer at the local racetrack. 

As he sorts through clues, questions suspects, and consults with a locked-up lady detective, the death begins looking far less natural and much more murder-y. Especially as everyone from the track's poison-tailed manager to a debt-ridden troll to a suspiciously vague pixie seems to have a reason to want the truth to stay buried.

But cold cases aren't the only thing keeping Duncan occupied as he waits for Opening Day. He's also… 

•managing the meltdowns of a nerve-wracked brownie,
•trying to undo everything his handler has supposedly fixed,
•watching a chain-smoking unicorn limp his way through training for an upcoming race,
•cursing the ever-increasing numbers on the scale, and
•wondering if he'll ever get his paws on another omelet or box of pixie pepper cookies.

Some dragons chase treasure. This one just wants to solve the case, save his newfound friend, and, if he's lucky, sneak in a decent breakfast.

Dragon Your Feet is the seventh book in the Circus of Unusual Creatures series. The books can be enjoyed in order or can be read as standalone stories.

Perfect for fans of:

•Humorous fantasy & cozy mystery mashups like those from Molly Fitz and E.J. Copperman, where murder mysteries, quirky characters, and ridiculous situations collide, stumble, and possibly do a face-plant
•Offbeat magical sleuths, including a detecting dragon who sees a cold case as the ideal distraction from his diet, a nerve-racked brownie, and a chain-smoking unicorn with racing ambitions
•Fair-play whodunnits where dead-end clues, overly friendly suspects, and a three-year-old cold case grow more confounding by the minute
•Screwball magical worlds where mythical creatures are in charge (barely), side stories sometimes steal the show, and even solving a murder has to fit around breakfast

If you love characters that don't take themselves too seriously, fantastically cozy whodunnits, and quirky subplots, you'll want to jump into this laugh-out-loud mystery today!
