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 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.

Carole and her children, Brianna and Louis (or names of that nature), are visiting the island. Though the husband/father, Gordon, is off somewhere with some vague "family issues" excuse. Brianna's the one who, in an earlier story, had played dress up with Leger, as in dressed Leger up.
While interacting his family, Leger overhears them mention a crime that had occurred right near them. In the Loch. A drowned man, who had been pushed in apparently. Annabella's quite upset. Especially considering Carole and the kids are out at the loch at that exact moment.
Then Carole, much later, goes for a really really long walk. By herself. As in, she left at night and in the morning she still hadn't returned. So, two mysteries to solve for Leger. The case of the drowned man, and the case of the missing woman. Though this time he actually has Bob's help, since Carole's a dog person, and Bob's upset at her disappearance.
I rather liked this one. Good solid story.

The drowning and the missing - he has to act quickly to solve the case
Another great little investigation with our cat detective. When a man falls and drowns , his investigative whiskers start to twitch. Was it an accident or murder? Then when his human's niece goes missing he is all out to look into the matter. Using his network (which includes even seagulls) he goes looking for answers. A really delightful light read which has taken a unique look at how cat's view the world.
