Temple Barr is engaged to Matt Devine and they are traveling
to Chicago so she can meet his family. Temple was once
engaged to Max Kinsella, who lost his memory after an
accident but has returned and is once again in her life. At
one time Max worked at a magician named Mystifying Max.
While in Chicago Temple and Max learn that his mother and
his uncle are in love. Louie is almost kidnapped in the
airport and then is later taken from Matt's mother's
apartment, but he escapes. Back in Vegas Temple, Matt and
Max start working together to solve old cold cases involving
the deaths of magicians, some of them they knew or were
close to. While Matt travels back to Chicago, Max and Temple
are involved in an illusion to try and root out the
murderer. They have help, of course, from Midnight Louie,
Midnight Louise and their friends.
CAT IN A WHITE TIE AND TALES by Carole Nelson Douglas is the
newest book in her Midnight Louie series. Each
chapter is
told by a different character, most of them by either
Temple, Midnight Louie or Midnight Louise. There are some
humorous parts to the storyline along with the mystery. A
side story is the relationship between Matt's mother and his
uncle that culminates in marriage. Since I had not read any
of the other books in the series, it was a little hard for
me to get into the story and keep everyone straight.
However, I did enjoy the book in the end and am sure that
fans of Ms. Douglas will love this new addition to the
Midnight Louie series.
In Carole Nelson Douglas' Cat in a White Tie and Tails,
Midnight Louie goes along as chaperone when PR whiz Temple
Barr and her fiance, rising media star Matt Devine, head to
Chicago so she can meet his family. Matt's mother has a
tragic past primed to rise and bite anybody in reach, even
the ex-alley cat sleuth. When Louie is snatched, the
catnapping's surprising motive loops back to Vegas and a
string of unsolved murders connected to magic…and
ex-magician Max Kinsella, Temple's former significant other.
Skeptical homicide lieutenant C. R. Molina has commissioned
Max to investigate the cold case murder she suspects he
committed two years earlier. With traumatic amnesia from a
recent attempt on his life, the once infallible Max is more
sitting duck than predator. It will take an alliance of
frenemies to solve the serial deaths before one of them
joins the fatality list.
