Louie is a 20 pound black cat who fancies himself a P.I.
The first Midnight Louie mystery, now in eBook, offers a publishing industry exposé. When Temple Barr, five-feet-zero of feisty redhead, goes in hot pursuit of a stray black cat streaking through a publishing convention exhibit hall, she stumbles over a big-time NY editor lying dead. While Temple and Midnight Louie are on the case, the famous publishing mascots, a pair of Scottish Fold library cats named Baker and Taylor, are kidnapped for ransom. The pair must sniff out a murderer before Murder by the Book describes their fates.
The books are told in 3rd person for the humans but Louie talks to us in first person (even using a different font) As the series develops, Carole adds additional characters who sometimes make repeat appearances. These are really good stories with humor and warmth.
I recommend reading in order. These books can often be found at Half Price books or used via Amazon. Kindle versions are overpriced but that is her publisher's doing.
The author is Carole Nelson Douglas. She is a good Democrat who lives right here in Fort Worth TX. She always has a strong female lead.
