Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This collection of 19 previously unpublished short stories featuring cats in one role or another, while perhaps not as successful overall as last year's Cat Crimes , offers enough enticing and/or bloodcurdling tales to please ailurophiles and suspense and mystery fans alike. Carole Nelson Douglas takes anthropomorphism to elegant heights as Midnight Louie, a tom who's a private dick, harries Las Vegas malefactors in "The Maltese Double Cross." In Charlotte Macleod's "A Long Time Sitting," a witch, who has been immobilized by a backfiring spell, and her feline familiar, Asphodemus, make life easier for a struggling young woman artist. In "The Beast Within," Margaret Maron writes of a woman's revenge when she finds herself in the body of a cat after her wealthy husband abandons her for a younger woman. And a little bit of not-so-recent musical history is unveiled in Joan Hess's "The Maggody Files: Hillbilly Cat," when a grasping nephew tries to cheat his old aunts out of a small fortune they do not know they have.
