Amateur sleuth and full-time veterinarian Jessica Popper
tries her hand at acting in WHO'S KITTEN WHO?, Cynthia
Baxter's latest installment in her Reigning Cats & Dogs
mystery series. When Jessie's friend, Betty, comes to her
with the news that fellow actor and playwright Simon
Wainwright has been murdered, Jessie agrees to do some
informal sleuthing. Unfortunately, she soon finds herself
with a role in She's Flying High, which, while
aiding in her investigation, seriously cuts into her
private life. With little time to spare for her fiancé,
Nick, and his visiting parents, Jessie struggles to find
common ground with her future in-laws, time with Nick and a
killer from a list of suspects longer than the script she's
memorizing.
WHO'S KITTEN WHO? is a thoroughly entertaining addition to
Baxter's well-crafted mysteries. Readers are given a bigger
glimpse into Jessie's personal life. Many will understand
and relate to her struggles with her soon-to-be in-laws-
from-hell and their pampered, spoiled Maltese. The murder
mystery is cleverly constructed and chock full of creative
suspects and surprising resolution. Mystery fans are in for
a treat!
When it comes to murder this sleuth isn't pussyfootin'
around...
Veterinarian and amateur sleuth Jessica
Popper takes center stage in the cast of an up-and-coming
Long Island playwright’s last production—and the fur flies
as Jess finds the theater world littered with clues to
Simon Wainwright’s murder. Was the killer the actress
who’s a real glamour-puss? Or her rival for Simon’s
affections, a disheveled costume designer who looks like
something the cat dragged in? Or how about the fat-cat
Broadway producers?
Jessie’s no scaredy-cat when
she’s on the prowl, but she loses her cool when her future
in-laws and their monstrous Maltese descend on the tiny
cottage she shares with fiancé Nick Burby, Lou the one-
eyed Dalmatian, rambunctious Westie Max, and the rest of
her menagerie. Between coping with the “Invasion of the
Burbarians” and playing cat and mouse with a killer, Jess
could use nine lives herself. But curiosity killed the cat—
will that be Jessie’s fate by the time the curtain falls?
