What do You think about The Cat Who Wasn't A Dog (2004)?
This novel is short and filled with our sleuths, Evangeline, Trixie, Taxi-Cab Driver, Eddie and long suffering daughter, Martha. In this edition, Evangeline and Trixie heed the call of actress Dame Cecile to rush to Brighton upon the death of her cat, Fleur De Lys.As Dame Cecile wails (literally,) our intrepid duo find themselves off to a taxidermist, "Stuff Yours." Eddie doesn't like the place and rightly so as they find themselves at the sight of a murder and in the midst of an arson attack. Trixie finds a 'live' specimen, a lovely cat, Cho Cho San.The Ladies go into sleuth mode as Eddie gets arrested for both the arson and murder of the owner. Now to prove Eddie was a victim not the criminal.This story rambled a bit but it is done, I feel on purpose by the Author as the characters are well in their 80's. Also a new character was introduced, Jocasta, a culinary editor trying to write a cookbook with Martha geared to single thespians on the road.The book was easy to read and a true cozy.
