Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Readers raved about bestselling author Blaize Clements Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter. Now, Floridian pet-sitting sleuth Dixie Hemingway puts her nine lives back on the line in

EVEN CAT SITTERS GET THE BLUES

Dixie has a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The day she happens upon the dead body outside a fancy mansion is no different. Shes had her fill of homicide investigations, so she leaves the gate-keepers corpse to be found by somebody else. Unfortunately, that somebody else sees Dixie leaving the scene of the crime, and the fatal bullet might have even come from her own gun! To make matters worse, the owner of the mansion is Dixies new client—a scientist who is either a genius, insane, or both—whose pet iguana is under her charge. All that, plus a feisty calico kitten that needs some TLC, means that time is running out for Dixie to catnip this case in the bud… and collar the killer.

“Clement mixes chick lit and biotech research in this lively adventure.”—Library Journal

“Gutsy, sexy…Dixie is Siesta Keys favorite pet sitter.”—Sarasota Herald-Tribune

“Will have readers begging for more treats.”—Lansing State Journal

Synopsis:

In this third installment of the popular cozy series, pet-sitter Dixie Hemingway discovers the dead body of a mansion gate-keeper. Shes had her fill of homicide investigations, so she leaves the corpse for someone else to find. But that someone else sees her leaving the scene of the crime.

Synopsis:

Critics and readers agree that Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter was a bona fide cozy hit. Its follow-up, Duplicity Dogged the Dachshund, won Blaize Clement a whole new set of fans. Now Floridian pet-sitting sleuth Dixie Hemingway is back in this third mesmerizing installment.

          Dixie Hemingway discovers the dead body of the gatekeeper of a mansion. She’s had her fill of homicide investigations, so she leaves the corpse to be found by somebody else. But that somebody else sees Dixie leaving the scene of the crime, and the bullet that killed the man could have come from a gun she owns. To make matters worse, the owner of the mansion is a new client---a pain-wracked scientist who is either quite insane or a genius whose clandestine work may save millions of lives. Or both.

            In either case, Dixie is stuck caring for him and his pet iguana. All that, plus a calico kitten Dixie is determined to save, put her right in the middle of a bizarre crisis fueled by dark secrets....
