Review of Cat in a Leopard Spot: A Midnight Louie Mystery (Midnight Louie Mysteries)

Murder shows its teeth and claws for Midnight Louie readers when that jet-black feline sleuth who thinks he's Sam Spade returns to delight his legions of fans. This time, not only does Louie have to bail out his favorite investigative partner, public relations woman Temple Barr, but he has to save a fellow feline from a charge of Murder One. When a big-game hunter is found dead with only a leopard for company, all of Louie's and Temple's allies and enemies converge on the case. And the fun really begins when the unofficial investigators learn the leopard is Osiris, a performing Big Cat who was kidnapped from his magician owner only days before the murder. Things get really wild when a cadre of ardent animal rights protestors secretly stakes out the premises, determined to stop the illegal killing at any price, even their own lives....

Or someone else's.

Comments for Cat in a Leopard Spot: A Midnight Louie Mystery (Midnight Louie Mysteries)

    So This is Mystery

    Before Midnight Louie I had never read one single mystery. Then I got a cat named Louie, (most unlike the Midnight P.I.) but went off on a tear with these books. I happen to be getting very aware of the sanctuaries devoted to caring for abused, abandoned and neglected big cats, so this one had to be read out of order. She does a very creditable job describing the true plight of the big cats in horrible situations while somehow allowing Louie to lose none of his charm and swagger. Oh, yes, the human characters are interesting too! May help if you've visited Las Vegas, but not strictly necessary, her (and Louie's) descriptions are great.

    so much fun

    This is the first book I've read in this series. Now I'm hooked. I want to read everything else that was ever written by Carole Nelson Douglas. Every minute of reading this book was pure pleasure. I highly recommend this book.

    Even Worse Than You Have Been Led to Believe

    I would write just one star only I have a lingering affection for the first of the Irene Adler book and because, well, if she is anything Carole Nelson Douglas is a lady, and I am a gentleman deep down at heart. But someone ought to whisper in her ear that America's appetite for cat mysteries is being toyed with seriously by her MIDNIGHT LOUIE series and, I predict, will soon come to a shuddering halt if she does not refrain.

    Going on in this manner is sheer punishment to a loyal readership which has seen Ms. Nelson Douglas through thick and thin. But such goings on cannot be permitted. There are a few good funny lines here and there, but nowhere near 20 dollars worth so itr's a case for the Better Business Bureau too as well as for the ASPCA. I also liked the Chicago interlude, though the means we took to get there were as far-fetched as the flying carpet that transports Sabu through the skies in the old Thief of Bagdad.

    Give it up and go back to what you do best. Give us a story with heart, not just claws.

    I agree with 'Enough already'

    Except for two things - I gave up on Irene Adler when I read that Chapel Noir was volume one and Chapel Rouge volume two. I feared more Chapels. I do keep reading Midnight Louie's adventures but the later ones aren't as much fun as the early ones. If I'd have known I would have to read 27 books, I would never have picked up Blue Monday.

    Enough is enough already!

    I've read every Midnight Louis book to date, but I probably won't finish this one. For starters, it meanders in and out of the characters' brains, probing, ad nauseum, their unresolved doubts and fears. If you haven't read the other books in the series, I have no idea how you'll catch on to what is happening in this one. What's more, why would you care? None of these people are appealing, as they were in earlier books. The first few chapters are maudlin and the mystery is boring. I get the impression the author is treading water with the book's plot in order to keep the series' plot alive. At this point they both look half-drowned to me. Add to that the incessant similes and metaphors that are becoming extremely annoying and you have a book that is hard to pick up and easy to put down. I loved the Irene Adler series and I enjoyed the early Midnight Louis books, but Cat in a Leopard Spot is too irritating for words.
