A Cat with a Fiddle

Alice Nestleton Mystery #6

by Lydia Adamson

Alice Nestleton's latest play has just bombed, and the critics gleefully skewered her performance. So she's turned to the kinder world of cat-sitting. Now she must deliver an adorable Scottish-fold kitty named Lulu to her owner at a remote artists' colony in Massachusetts. There she meets up with a world-famous quartet visiting for the summer. But when the handsome ladykiller of a pianist turns up murdered, Alice has a good idea of whodunit. The local police won't listen, so the intrepid cat-lady goes it alone. She's baiting a dangerous mousetrap for a killer who's not just pussy-footing around.

Alice has solved another murder, this time in the state of Massachusetts. These are fun stories to read while reading other heavier mysteries.
