Product Description
“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.

DID YOU MISS ME??, Jan 24 2010

This review is from: Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs: A Dixie Hemingway Mystery (Hardcover)
I really like Blaize Clement's "Dixie Hemingway Mysteries". She has good main characters: Dixie, the pet sitter; Michael, Dixie's firefighter brother; Paco, Michael's soul mate and undercover cop. This time we get into Dixie's past and her feelings. Jaz is a waif that Dixie happens upon and Mo is an old high school "friend". Fun and adventure are had by all.

Blaize back on track, Mar 4 2010

This review is from: Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs: A Dixie Hemingway Mystery (Hardcover)
After the fourth Dixie Hemmingway mystery faltered a bit in plot and mystery, this latest of the series is back on track as a great read. For the lovers of Siesta Key and Sarasota, there is just enough of the local flavor to keep up interest. The plot and action are up to the standards of the early novels in the series.

wonderful pet sitter mystery, Dec 31 2010
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Raining Cat Sitters and Dogs (Mass Market Paperback)
In Siesta Key, Florida, former police officer turned pet sitter Dixie Hemingway goes to the vet to pick up Big Bubba, a fan of TV police dramas who shouts at the screen. While in the reception area Dixie meets hysterical teenager Jaz who brought in an injured wild rabbit. A man with her claiming to be her stepfather says he accidently hit the rabbit with his car.Dixie's gut screams at her that something is not right with this pair. Soon afterward three punks assault Dixie demanding she tells them where Jaz is. Dixie consults with her boyfriend homicide detective Jean-Pierre Guidry, who says the trio is the prime suspects in the murder of an elderly man. The pair now fears for Jaz's life and begin a search for the girl before the street thugs find her.
The fifth Dixie Hemingway pet sitter mystery (see Even Cat Sitters Gets the Blues and Cat Sitter on a Hot Tin Roof) is a wonderful tale as Dixie knows Jaz is not her responsibility but once a cop always a cop. The story line engages the audience from the moment Big Bubba the African parrot gives Dixie and others a mouth full. Combining humor with a serious missing person's search, Blaize Clement provides a strong tale.
