Synopses & Reviews
Carole Nelson Douglas's Temple Barr is an ace P.R. wizard when it comes to promoting Las Vegas hottest clients. Shes also an amateur sleuth who has caught her share of bad guys.
In Cat in a Vegas Gold Vendetta, B-movie actress Savannah Ashleigh begs Temple to investigate the suspicious death of her rich aunts handyman. Temple happily takes the case, if for no other reason than to take her mind off her chaotic private life. Her ex-fiancé, the Mystifying Max, is back—minus his memory. And current fiancé Matt Devine has shown up from a stint in Chicago with the promise of a surprising future. Which may or may not include Temple.
As Temple digs into the mans untimely demise she finds plenty of suspect and greedy humans swarming around the ailing Aunt Violet, who means to leave her estate to her resident cats. Temple thinks shes close to solving the case, but it becomes clear to Midnight Louie, Temples roommate and ace feline detective, that there are more deaths both human and feline coming. Add in the return of a mysterious stalker from the past, and it's murder and mayhem on all fronts for Temple, Louie, and the ones they love in the newest story in the Midnight Louie mystery series.
