CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT SITTER

It's a pleasure to introduce cat sitter Dixie Hemingway, "no relation to you-know-who," in Blaize Clement's new series. Dixie is warm and witty, but she's still grieving the loss of her husband and child. Julia Gibson's manner illustrates Dixie's love of animals and her ex-deputy sheriff instincts. Gibson also enlivens each of the charming or sinister characters Dixie encounters as she searches for the perpetrator of a bizarre murder. Along with a gripping story, listeners will learn some interesting cat lore as Dixie uncovers the culprit. Happily, she also experiences a reawakening interest in her life, her work, and even men in this charming mystery. S.G.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
