- Synopsis
- [From the back cover:] "Alice Nestleton--actress, cat sitter, and amateur sleuth--is ringing in the holidays with a new client: a lovely tortoiseshell cat named Roberta. But sometimes this fickle feline turns into the kitty from hell, which is where Manhattan animal therapist Dr. Wilma Tedescu enters the picture. Make that exits. On Roberta's very first appointment, Alice finds the good doctor as dead as a Christmas goose, proving that cat "shrinks," unlike cats, are decidedly short of nine lives. Suspicion falls on the doctor's estranged husband ... and then on Alice. As Alice sets out to find the real killer, the fur really flies. It isn't long before her nose for clues lands her a whisker away from a killer who doesn't pussyfoot around with murder ..." While trying to live on the scant income from infrequent acting and cat-sitting jobs, Alice Nestleton is all about solving crimes. You meet her friends, both human and feline, but on most pages you tag along with Alice as she combs the streets of New York City in search of criminals. Clues build slowly, then pieces begin to come together for an investigator who is low on money and technology but long on determination and confidence. Look for more of the over twenty Alice Nestleton Mysteries in the Bookshare collection including #1A Cat in the Manger and #15 A Cat on Jingle Bell Rock.
