Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Readers will bend over backward for the debut of the very first yoga mystery series.
Ever since her husband ditched her-for another man-A.J. hasn't exactly been on the road to inner peace. Then her yoga-guru aunt is found dead, and A.J.'s named the sole heir to her lucrative yoga studio-making her a multimillionaire, a prime suspect, and the killer's subsequent target.

This book caught my attention and held it throughout. I sorta figured out who did it but a lot of other possibilities made it interesting. I like the main character and can't wait for the subsequent book to come out!

Freelance marketing consultant A.J. Alexander is contacted at an event in New York City for an author she is promoting. She is told that her beloved aunt Di has been murdered. Her mother, the flighty and famous ex-model and actress Elysia, flies in from London, and the two drive to Di's farmhouse in rural Stillbrook, New Jersey.
Diantha Mason had run a profitable yoga studio, and had many spin-off businesses related to yoga and organic living. She was found early one morning, dead, in her yoga studio. A.J. had spent a lot of her youth with her Aunt, due to her mother's alcoholism and unusual life style and her father's working so much, and then his early death.
Despite her strained relationship with her famous mother, A. J. finds her company increasingly necessary as they try to figure out who killed Diantha. One of the reasons the relationship is strained is that Elysia refuses to accept that A.J.'s 10-year marriage to the darling Andy is over even though they have been divorced for months. Andy had left her for Nick, the handsome F.B.I. agent who ran him down accidentally during a car chase. A.J. is worried that she is the principal suspect in the murder as she is her aunt's main heir-inheriting in the neighborhood of eighteen million dollars. "That's a lovely neighborhood," Elysia remarked, "You'll enjoy living there." pg. 81.
Jake Oberlin, the hunky police detective who is trying to solve the case despite meddling by A.J. and Elysia, finds himself increasingly attracted to the quirky heiress. Will A.J. escape the clutches of the murderer? Is it the dairy farmer who felt maligned by Diantha's anti-dairy products rant on a radio show? Or the other yoga teacher who thought she was going to inherit the studio? Or the young married Olympic hopeful with a very strange relationship with Diantha?
This well written and enticing book in a new series is bound to please. It will make you feel as good as a vigorous yoga stretching session!
Armchair Interviews agrees: Stretch yourself gently and read this book.

Was it because I sat on a boat in beautiful Penobscot Bay reading this book that I gave it 5 stars? Even without my own setting I probably would have given it at least 4 and possibly 5 stars. This is the very first in a new series. The author doesn't burden us with too much Yoga or too many odd sounding recipes. The main dish vegetarian recipe at the end sounded delicious.
The heroine has had a tough year already when she learns her beloved aunt has been murdered. Her relationship with her mother, her aunt's sister, is not great. The characters are well done. The mystery was sufficiently mysterious to keep me unsure about the culprit. There are funny bits and serious bits. I will definitely read more of this series.

I really enjoyed this book. I adored the characters, and found the setting a little different and fun. I figured out who the culprit was, kind of early on, but that didn't take away the fun, or even once in a while, something would happen that would make me think I was wrong, so that was fun too!!
I look forward to more books in this series, the way the author left the ending, I have to guess there are many more stories to tell about all the wonderful characters we were introduced to.

I found that Corpse Pose was a fun summer read. I truly enjoyed the characters and the plot/mystery. Not being all that familiar with Yoga, I wasn't sure if I would be able to keep up with the book. I found that I didn't need to know anything about Yoga to enjoy it. The blue herrings were plenty and the characters were believable. A.J. acted in a way that I felt any normal person might in her circumstances. I loved the character of Elysia and hope to see more of her in future books.
I would recommend this book. I had a lot of fun reading it and am now inspired to sign up for a Yoga class myself. Can't wait to read the subsequent entry.
