Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

An "amusing" mystery filled with "lively characters, irresistible food descriptions, and witty dialogue" (Publishers Weekly).

Susie Katz is known as the crazy cat lady of Longely, New York, and goes out of her way to earn the title, right down to her cat T-shirts and porcelain Hello Kitties. She's a fanatic for anything feline. Humans, not so much.

So when she decides to put up a tent on her property and hold an extravagant wedding ceremony for her two Russian blues, she makes sure to include a few two-legged guestsâ??primarily to raise some hackles. All her favorite enemies will be there: her bird-loving neighbor, a rival cat breeder, a local animal rights activist, and the niece and nephew who stand to inherit her considerable fortune...if she doesn't spend it all on cat tchotchkes first. Susie can't wait for them all to watch as Boris and Natasha slink up the aisle in their very expensive diamond-studded collars, before everyone starts digging in to the poached salmon and caviar provided for the occasion by catering sisters Bernie and Libby.

But chaos erupts when a wedding gift is unwrapped and a mischief of mice jump out of the boxâ??followed by the disappearance of all the pampered partygoers. Just a few hours later, Susie is stabbed in the back while searching for her missing kitties near the now-empty tentâ??and it's up to the Simmons sisters to sniff out the killer.

It doesn’t matter how weird it may seem, if you are rich enough, it is merely eccentric. Susie Katz wants a wedding for her two Russian blues, and so, it is done. Sisters Libby and Bernie are the caterers, but the guests are the people Susie hates the most. They are compelled to be there for various reasons, known only to them and to Susie. Susie ends up dead, and the sisters are deep in the crime scene. Having contaminated it, they are threatened with arrest if they don’t solve the murder. And so they are off on a merry chase, following clues and chasing down mice, cats, and people. This cozy is romping good fun and quite entertaining. And yes, a cat wedding is a bit bizarre, but cozies need humor thrown in, and this one certainly has that and more. ( )
