Jillian Hart has her hands full helping Mercy Animal
Sanctuary shelter owner Shawn Cuddahee nurse newborn
kittens through the night with her best friend Candace
Carson. When Candace, Deputy for the Mercy, South Carolina,
police department, gets a call after their night at the
shelter, Jillian is her willing ride-along to investigate
the disappearance of a local woman's cow.
The cow is discovered, the mystery seemingly solved, until
cats begin showing up at a nearby neighbor's home. Just the
hint of cats in distress has Jillian on the case, and what
she discovers is more than a little bit disturbing. The
professor who'd cow-napped the cow has a collection of cats
in various stages of malnutrition. Before Jillian and
Candace can arrest the professor and free the cats, someone
metes out their own form of justice using strychnine. Now
Jillian has her hands full dealing with homeless strays,
the unexpected arrival of her deceased husband's adult
daughter, and Tom, the man who wants to take his budding
relationship with Jillian to the next level. As if that's
not enough, she has to stay one step ahead of a killer
threatening to make her the next victim!
Leann Sweeney's THE CAT, THE PROFESSOR AND THE
POISON is the second in the Cats in Trouble mysteries; a
fun, entertaining story. Jillian is a great character, a
woman coming to grips with recent widowhood while making a
place for herself in a new home with her three cats. She
has a strong support system in her friends and a
willingness to help all cats and kittens, sometimes to her
own peril. The mystery will keep the reader guessing and
the conclusion is satisfying and will leave readers looking
forward to Jillian's next adventure. I enjoyed this story
so much, I bought the first in the series!
Between her kitty quilt-making business and her three
beloved cats, Jill has her hands full. That doesn't stop her
from wanting to solve the mystery of the milk cow that's
gone missing from her friend's farm. But imagine her
surprise when a stolen cow leads to the discovery of fifty
stray cats and one dead body-a victim of cold-blooded murder...
