Now, with the help of her son, author John Clement, Blaize's beloved heroine Dixie Hemingway is back for yet another thrilling adventure in this critically-acclaimed series. \u003cbr\u003eDixie has built a nice, quiet life for herself in the sleepy town of Siesta Key, a sandy resort island off the coast of Florida. In fact, her pet-sitting business is going so well she's even taken on part-time help: Kenny, a handsome young surfer who lives alone in a rickety old houseboat. But things get a little messy when, on an early morning walk in the park with a client's schnauzer, Dixie makes a shocking discovery. Hidden among the leafy brambles is a homeless girl, alone and afraid, cradling a newborn baby in her arms. \u003cbr\u003eDixie takes the young girl under her wing, even though she's just been hired by Roy Harwick, the snarky executive of a multi-national oil company, to care for his equally snarky Siamese cat, Charlotte, along with his wife's priceless collection of rare, tropical fish. It's not long before Dixie stumbles upon a dead body in the unlikeliest of places, and soon she's set adrift in a murky and dangerous world in which no one is who they appear to be. \u003cbr\u003eSmart, fast-paced and entertaining, The Cat Sitter's Cradle is a perfect illustration of why \u003cbr\u003eDixie's loyal fans have come to know and love her and eagerly await the next installment of her adventures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Fans of pet mysteries, such as those by Laurien Berenson, will enjoy it, as will anyone hankering for a little virtual travel to Siesta Key.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist on THE CAT SITTER'S PAJAMAS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Dixie's latest adventure keeps you glued to your seat from the first chapter.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews on CAT SITTER AMONG THE PIGEONS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A riveting and rewarding read.” —\u003ci\u003eRichmond Times-Dispatch on CAT SITTER AMONG THE PIGEONS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Another enjoyable tale from Blaize Clement.” —\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews on RAINING CAT SITTERS AND DOGS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Smooth prose, a lush background...a fine-feathered read.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly on RAINING CAT SITTERS AND DOGS\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Thoughtful and compelling.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly on CAT SITTER ON A HOT TIN ROOF\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A feel-good [series]...Recommend this one for readers who liked the southern setting and animal characters in Joyce and Jim Lavene's \u003ci\u003eThe Telltale Turtle\u003c\/i\u003e.” —\u003ci\u003eBooklist on CAT SITTER ON A HOT TIN ROOF\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Gutsy, sexy…Dixie is Siesta Key's favorite pet sitter.” —\u003ci\u003eSarasota Herald-Tribune on EVEN CAT SITTERS GET THE BLUES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Blends elements of cozy and thriller to produce an unusual and enjoyable hybrid . . . sure to delight readers.” —\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly on EVEN CAT SITTERS GET THE BLUES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“For fans of Susan Conant and Clea Simon.” —\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal on EVEN CAT SITTERS GET THE BLUES\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ingenious…captivating.
