Publisher's summary

Stormy the cat, rescued by journalist Quinn Armstrong, is not what he seems.

Young mother Christy Jamieson just learned her husband, Frank, embezzled his trust fund, sold their Vancouver mansion, and ran off with a socialite. Worse, Frank's trustees are telling Christy to let them handle it. But they aren't doing anything, and Frank's enemies are coming after her and her daughter.

Desperate to find Frank and fend off his enemies, Christy asks Quinn for help. His price: the dirt on Frank. But the closer Christy and Quinn get to the dangerous truth, the more convinced they become that only the one who knows where Frank is at is Stormy the cat.

Publisher Note

The 9 Lives Cozy Mysteries, while containing some mild profanity, will be enjoyed by mature listeners of cozy mysteries. Cat lovers and those fond of all things feline - as well as fans of Amanda Lee, Denise Grover Swank, Rita Mae Brown's Sneaky Pie Brown Mysteries, and Shirley Rousseau Murphy's Joe Grey Mysteries - will not want to miss this series.

About The Author

Louise Clark has been the adoptive mom of a number of cats with big personalities. The feline who inspired Stormy, the cat in the 9 Lives books, dominated her household for 20 loving years. During that time, he created a family pecking order that left Louise on top and her youngest child on the bottom (just below the guinea pig), regularly tried to eat all his sister’s food (he was a very large cat), and learned the joys of travel through a cross-continent road trip.

The 9 Lives Cozy Mystery Series, as well as the single title mystery, A Recipe for Trouble, are all set in her hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Cat Came Back

This first in a series book has a novel subject approach but IMO it would have been more effective written in a shorter version. I did like the book overall but there were boring stretches & I had to force myself to finish it. I would be interested in trying book 2 however I’m undecided @ this point due to the unnecessary length of book 1.

A Not So Nice Canadian Mystery

The wife of an ice cream heir enlists the help of a journalist when her husband disappears after being accused of stealing money from his trust fund in this wacky, action packed murder mystery set in the glitzy, idle rich high society of Vancouver, British Columbia. The characters are interesting and entertaining, the plot is brilliantly detailed, carefully peeling back the many layered plot like disassembling an onion, one layer at a time, there's action, a love interest an adorable little girl and a very finicky cat - all the components necessary to make a great cozy mystery.
This one's well written, well narrated and definitely worth your time.
