A Cat on the Cutting Edge (Alice Nestleton Mystery #9)

Synopsis

[from the back cover:] "Alice Nestleton's acting career has a case of the no-nos--no auditions, no jobs, no money. Even her cat sitting work is dwindling, and to add injury to insult, her harum-scarum kitty, Pancho, turns into a cat from hell rather than enter his carrier for a nail-cutting trip to the vet. The solution is to call in the professionals--the Village Cat People, a service for cat owners with problem pets. Unfortunately, a far bigger problem arrives when Martha, 'the Cat People representative, is murdered at Alice's front door. The police call it a mugging; Martha's coworkers call it an assassination. They want Alice, as a well-known amateur sleuth, to investigate. Alice prefers to put the tragedy behind her and move into a new loft apartment in Greenwich Village. But a second murder involving the Cat People gives her "paws." Now a clue linking the murders to a bohemian poet and the Village's vibrant past has her creating a risky trap to catch a killer. It will be a real work of art...or a colorful way to die." Millions of citizens live in New York City. A surprisingly large number of them come unforgettably to life as Alice Nestleton, forty-something-year-old Actress and cat sitter investigates a wide variety of crimes in the Alice Nestleton Mysteries available from Bookshare including #1 A Cat in the Manger, #2 A Cat of a Different Color, # 3 A Cat in Wolf's Clothing, #4 A Cat in the Wings, #6 A Cat With a Fiddle, #12 A Cat Under the Mistletoe, #15 A Cat on Jingle Bell Rock, and #21 A Cat on the Bus, with the rest of the books in the series coming soon. The action in these relatively short novels gets underway on page one. The reader isn't given a moment to lose interest. Being an actress, Alice notices details about places and people that bring the reader into the picture. Being a cat lover, Alice misses no opportunity to lavishly describe her own two cats and cats she meets along her way, as well as sprinkling in catnips of feline trivia cat-loving and curious readers will enjoy.
