The Leger Hotel Mysteries #1
Leger's Clowder
Now settled in his new home as a hotel cat on a tiny Scottish island, Leger is searching for activities to keep him busy and, as always, his mind turns to sleuthing.
At a Burns Supper hosted by Tony, the hotel's manager, in honour of the Lithuanian girls he has employed to work for him, the mystery of three recent thefts is apparently solved when two of the stolen wallets turn up in one of the girl's bags. However, Leger is not convinced that the accused Emilija is guilty and using his feline instincts, sets about searching for the true culprit to clear Emilija's name.
The first story in the Leger Hotel Mysteries Series sees Leger return, along with Bob, Lily and his old seagull friend and informant, Joe.

A solid and interesting entry in the Leger saga. A good beginning to the Hotel cat adventures. My brain does not seem to be functioning coherently enough for me to say much of interest.
So . . . a good short story. Involving Leger, Lily, Leger's friendly sea gull, the resident cats on the island, female construction workers, Tony from prior stories, his human companions, Bob his dog friend. Mixed up in the case of the "who stole the three wallets?" Which rapidly morphed into "did the person who appears guilty actually do the deed," before Leger could even begin investigating.
Hmms. Leger's Clowder. Odd. They are not exactly his Clowder, at least not at this point.
