CAT SITTER AMONG THE PIGEONS

Former Florida police officer turned pet-sitting sleuth is once again on the prowl. Dixie—no relation to you-know-who—is helping an elderly gentleman, Mr. Stern, take care of his orange shorthair cat, Cheddar. But it’s Stern’s infant granddaughter, Opal, who really wins Dixie’s heart. Problem is that Opal’s mother, Ruby, has some dangerous connections to certain local big-money honchos. Ruby has enough insider information to send them to prison for life…and they are willing to do anything, even threaten Opal’s life, to shut her up and preserve their ill-gotten gains. Now it’s up to Dixie to protect Opal from harm—at all costs. And she must do it without letting law-enforcement people know—not even Detective Guidry, with whom she happens to be romantically involved. Does Dixie have her claws sunk in too deep to make it out of this one? Or are her nine lives finally up?

“Dixie’s latest adventure keeps you glued to your seat from the first chapter.”
Kirkus Reviews

 “For anyone who loves mysteries, animals, or just plain great writing.”
—Laurien Berenson, author of
Doggie Day Care Murder

 “Dixie is Florida’s favorite pet sitter.”
Sarasota Herald-Tribune

First of this series I have read and I enjoyed it very much. Planning on reading all of them from the beginning. Captured my interest from page 1, a great cozy read based in the Florida Keys. Read full review
