Yoga is the quintessential exercise for tree-hugging, granola-munching types. But what's the point of getting all in tune with your body and its connection to the earth if people are being killed just outside your yoga classroom? Seattle novelist Tracy Weber will read from her new novel, A Killer Retreat, the second installment of her award-winning Downward Dog Mystery series about a murder-solving, vegetarian yoga teacher, Kate, and her feisty German Shepherd. This new book finds Kate teaching yoga at a vegan retreat center when a wedding guest at the center is found dead shortly after a loud and public fight with Kate. Kate must try to solve the murder before the police put her behind bars as their number-one suspect. Weber will lead a yoga class for PLU students and others following the reading.
