Skinny Kitty cat food is set to film a new commercial and
Jaine Austen's fussy feline Prozac is selected for the
starring role. Jaine is shocked, especially when her picky
kitty is flawless in the role and follows director's orders
perfectly.
Just as Jaine figures things are looking up for her and
Prozac, Skinny Kitty's inventor is found dead on the set.
Everyone on the shoot disliked the poor guy, so there's an
abundance of suspects (Jaine included). The murder could
take months to investigate, and since she cannot leave
town, Jaine, a self-described part-time semiprofessional
PI, sets out to solve the crime herself. If not, she'll
have to kiss her long-anticipated Maui vacation goodbye. It
does not help that Jaine is also stressed out dealing with a
a weird suitor who will not stop pursuing her.
Laura Levine continues her sidesplittingly funny
Jaine Austen mystery series with MURDER HAS NINE
LIVES, another expertly conceived whodunit that had me
laughing aloud as I swiftly turned the pages. I was tickled
by Jaine's uproariously amusing quips and explanations in a
first-person narrative interspersed with ditsy e-mails from
her comical parents in Florida. Jaine's unique take on life
and the way she handles problems is not only funny, but
also refreshing and, at times, inspiring. With a wildly
diverse cast of zany characters, I rank Laura
Levine's comical Jaine Austen mystery series one
of the best!
The future is looking bright for freelance writer Jaine
Austen. She's signed up for a new job, she's looking
forward to a tropical vacation, and her cat Prozac is
slated to star in a major commercial. But when the claws
come out behind the scenes, Jaine worries that murder might
be the only thing to meow about…
A writer's life is far from glamorous. Still, Jaine's new
gig to write an ad campaign for Toiletmasters' new line of
self-flushing toilets comes with a few perks--including a
date with the president's dreamy nephew. And with a
much-needed trip to Maui on the horizon, it seems life
couldn't get any better
needed trip to Maui on the horizon, it seems life couldn't
get any better--until her cat Prozac is tapped to star in a
Skinny Kitty commercial. But Jaine never would have guessed
the world of cat food could be quite so catty…
Jaine is nervous that Prozac won't be able to take
direction, but the finicky furball ditches her diva
behavior for the camera, eating and napping on cue like a
seasoned pro. But just as Jaine begins dreaming of fame and
fortune, Skinny Kitty's inventor drops dead on the set.
Everyone is a suspect--including Jaine. And she'll have to
get her paws on the truth before the killer takes a swipe
at another victim…
