    About this audiobook

    After solving the murder of illustrious guru Ajoy Chaterjee, yoga detective Matt Bolster is finally getting some students at his Los Angeles yoga classes. With attendance now hitting the double digits, nothing can stop the Bolster express.

    When Bolster gets invited to teach at The Gathering, a prestigious yoga retreat run by the renowned Tom Hart, it seems like things can’t get any better. Bolster is a little dubious about the cultish atmosphere, but, as they say in L.A., it’s an honor just to be nominated. What starts off as a relaxing, decadent retreat quickly spirals into deadly chaos that forces Bolster to use all his yoga-detective powers, and also his fists.

    Open Your Heart, like Neal Pollack’s first Matt Bolster book, Downward-Facing Death, is a biting satire of trendy, sexually-driven yoga culture, where ancient principles of loving enlightenment clash with the darkest corners of human nature. The latest in the Matt Bolster Yoga Mystery series will thrill readers, whether they read it while in Crow Pose or on the couch.

      Ever since he solved his last case, things have been going pretty well for Matt Bolster, ex-cop and yoga teacher. His yoga class attendance is growing and he is still getting publicity thanks to his friend and yoga blogger, Suzi. When Matt is invited to teach at "the Gathering" he can hardly turn them down. The Guru, Tom Hart, is not one of Matt's favs. He considers him too superficial. But being invited can only help his career. So Matt, Suzi and Matt's friend Slim head to the beautiful location of the Gathering. Only one thing could spoil this adventure. You guessed it, another Guru bites the dust, so to speak.This book was as much fun as the first. Matt looks at yoga trends with a very jaundiced eye, but he respects to core of yoga. If you don't know anything about yoga, you can still enjoy this look into the worlds of yoga. The characters in the books are well defined and after one book I felt a connection to Matt and some of his crazy friends. I recommend reading the first book, Downward Facing Death, first but this one can be read on its own.
