The relaxation pose at the end of every yoga class is called savasana. In English, it means corpse. Instructor Eugenie, already as scattered as her top knot, is hoping she doesn't find one in this quirky mystery from Tara Sheldon.

All is not shanti, shanti, shanti at a certain yoga studio. People unhinge. Animals unleash. When one goes missing and another makes a startling appearance, instructor Eugenie discovers it's not meditation she should be doing… it's investigation.

Author Tara Sheldon can do a stellar savasana, but still can't get her heels on the mat in downward dog. She has practiced yoga in places tropical and chill. None like the one in this story
