Leger - Cat Sleuth #4
Leger's Winter (The Leger - Cat Sleuth Mysteries) (Volume 4) by Lacey Dearie
The seasons have changed in Scotland and rather than prowl in the cold, Leger has chosen to spend his evenings dining at his good friend Winter's home or sleeping in front of the fire. But his peaceful nights watching snow fall from the windowsill will have to wait as there is a new case to solve. His friend Winter has gone missing! Leger has his hands full and is distracted from the job in hand. He has a new hibernation spot to find for an insomniac hedgehog friend, hears news of an unexpected pregnancy and as ever, Leger struggles to communicate with his human companion, Annabella. If he did not know better he would say she's been in at the catnip. Join Leger, Bob, Ginger, Joe and a few new faces as he embarks on a new investigation in snowy Glasgow.

About the author
Lacey Dearie
69 books96 followersLacey Dearie is a writer from Ayrshire, Scotland. She has lived her whole life in the Ayrshire countryside and sets many of her stories in this area, or in the places where her extended family live.
On leaving school in 1995, she chose an entrepreneurial career path, which later led to a job in book-keeping before working for over a decade as a paralegal. She also ran a small perfumery for a short time and has worked as a mystery shopper since 2007, partly because she likes the glamour of being a spy, although it's actually super boring and there's a lot of paperwork involved.
She returned to study in her 30s, undertaking a BA in Arts & Humanities with the Open University in Scotland, where she gained a distinction in creative writing. She has also studied Comparative and World Literature with Harvard's online program, Harvard X and History of Religion, specifically magical beliefs in the Middle Ages with the Universitat de Barcelona.
Since 2002, she has written for a variety of publications, both in print and online. She is the author of 39 cat sleuth novellas, 2 chick-lit novels, 3 stories about sexually active foods and a blog named Rock Paper Spirit. She has also written a Chaka Demus and Pliers tribute musical, just to pass the time.
She has been an associate member of the Cat Writers Association since 2018.

This is probably meant for 9-12s, but judging from the reviews, I'm not the only adult who enjoyed it! Leger is on the trail of his missing friend Winter, and with friends in the local clowder and beyond, he 'rescues' his lady. Meanwhile, he needs to find a safe place for a hedgie to hibernate through the winter.
I only had one minor complaint: I feel so strongly about spaying and neutering that I was a bit upset that the humans in the book weren't practicing responsible pet companionship, especially in a children's book. Please, cat lovers, there are too many beautiful kitties and not enough good homes.

Leger’s Winter by Lacey Dearie is a continuation of the lovely series about Leger, the cat, his community, friendship, and good old-fashioned sleuthing. These are short, well written stories that are beautiful and calming. Recommended for all ages.

This is the fourth in the series of Leger, Cat Sleuth series and the quality has shown no sign of dropping yet. Leger's mysterious friend Winter goes missing and it's up to Leger to use his feline detective skills to find her.
There are some lovely new characters and after meeting Dave the Hedgehog, I shall not see the prickly little blighters in the same light again. Aw. The old friends are also back, including Ginger, and they are as entertaining as ever.
Lacey's high quality writing is also evident. The plot is tight and the writing entertaining. I love the little traits that she gives the animals and you won't look at your pets in quite the same light again. Download for an entertaining and fun read.
