From Publishers Weekly
This third anthology of stories featuring felines in crime--whether as catalyst, criminal or sleuth--will surely hook the cat-loving audience that lapped up the series's two previous volumes. A cat stars as both victim and clue as a TV producer untangles an old crime in the bayous of Louisiana in William L. DeAndrea's "Killed in Midstream." In "Fat Cat," Nancy Pickard's unusual detective is an animal shelter manager who wonders why so many good-looking, pedigreed cats are disappearing from his small Colorado town. The cat in DeLoris Stanton Forbes's "Dumb Animals" tries to get rid of her rival, a dog; in "A Few Strokes for Mitzi," Herbert Resnicow tells of an art restorer who takes insidious revenge for the death of her longtime companion; and a pool-playing cat named Eight Ball gives a waitress a chance for a new life in "Leaving Cornucopia" by D. C. Brod. Noted mystery anthologists Greenberg and Gorman deliver a diverting collection, even for readers indifferent to cats.
