Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs : A Dixie Hemingway Mystery

"A knockout read. For anyone who loves mysteries, animals, or just plain great writing, this is a book to savor."—Laurien Berenson, author of Doggie Day Care Murder on Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter

In this fifth installment of the wildly popular Dixie Hemingway mystery series, a mysterious young girl is missing. Lieutenant Guidry, the hunky homicide detective with whom Dixie has an on-again, off-again relationship, is trying to find the girl because she may be a material witness to a murder. Finally Dixie must go it alone to confront criminals who will stop at nothing to get what they want.

Smooth prose, a lush background, and engaging animals -- in particular, Big Bubba, a talkative African gray parrot who loves to watch police shows on TV -- make for a fine-feathered read. - Publishers Weekly

"This continues to be a solid cozy series with a well-realized Florida setting and plenty of animal elements to satisfy pet-loving mystery readers." - Booklist
