It's been a long time since I read any of the Pam and Jerry North mysteries by the Lockridges, and it was wonderful getting reacquainted with them. To me, Pam and Jerry seem like another version of Nick and Nora Charles, as portrayed by William Powell and Myrna Loy in the Thin Man movies, and I often found myself picturing them as those actors. Cocktails keep flowing, and they have three Siamese cats named Martini, Gin, and Sherry. This story was great, with an appealing heroine, family intrigue, and a man murdered in his pet store. Unfortunately, these books are not readily available these days, but perhaps someday they will come back into favor and more people will be able to enjoy them.
