"Alice Nestleton's acting career is in a slump. Even her cat-sitting work is dwindling. To add injury to insult, her kitty Pancho is a acting up. The solution: Call in the professionals, the Village Cat People, a service for cat owners with problem pets. Unfortunately, the Cat People representative is murdered at Alice's front door. The police call it a mugging; her co-workers call it an assassination. Alice wants to put the tragedy behind her and move into a new loft apartment in Greenwich Village. But the Village Cat People is involved in a second murder - and it's linked to a Bohemian poet. The scent of mystery is irresistible, and Allice is back on the trail of a killer. In the ninth Alice Nestleton mystery, two killings at a Greenwich Village cat clinic prompt Alice to investigate her bohemian Surroundings. Wittyand suspense-packed." [from case]

2.0 out of 5 stars
Clearly not the best entry in the series...,
This review is from: A Cat on the Cutting Edge (An Alice Nestleton Mystery) (Mass Market Paperback)
Make no mistake, this Cat series has been fairly reliable in the past for a quick, fun read, but this one's a real clunker!After hiring someone from the Village Cat People (yech) to come to her apartment and tranquilize her cat Bushy to get him to the vet, Alice Nestleton's usually tumultuous life is once again turned upside-down as murder drops in (literally)... The mystery itself is not great and gets more and more unbelievable with each page. Stolen anarchist treasure and Edna St Vincent Millay memories collide in an altogether forgettable story. Trust me, the series itself is not prize-winning by any means, but was always good for a beach or airplane read. For some reason, all the recurring characters in this 'episode' seem more bitter and cranky than usual. The only reason I didn't give this book 1 star is because the history of Old New York as well as the West Village and the author's references are interesting and memorable. Of course, I'll read the next one in the series 'Cat on a Winning Streak' and hopefully it'll be a bit better!
