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 playwrightโs last productionโand the fur flies as Jess finds the theater world littered with clues to Simon Wainwrightโs murder. Was the killer the actress whoโs a real glamour-puss? Or her rival for Simonโs affections, a disheveled costume designer who looks like something the cat dragged in? Or how about the fat-cat Broadway producers?
Jessieโs no scaredy-cat when sheโs 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 fiancรฉ Nick Burby, Lou the one-eyed Dalmatian, rambunctious Westie Max, and the rest of her menagerie. Between coping with the โInvasion of the Burbariansโ and playing cat and mouse with a killer, Jess could use nine lives herself. But curiosity killed the catโwill that be Jessieโs fate by the time the curtain falls?
