Leger - Cat Sleuth #19
Leger's Return
Disillusioned, with their dreams shattered, the McInnes family return to Glasgow. Hugh and Annabella are planning to go travelling, leaving Leger in the care of the Goldsworthy family while they are gone. He wastes no time on self-pity though and throws himself back into his work. Shortly before arriving back in the city, he learns Nicole has been attacked. With the police taking too long to track down the culprit, Leger and Bob get on the case. However, Isabella can't stop flirting, Ginger is acting out of character and Amber is taking risks that put lives in danger. Leger starts to wonder how the clowder ever coped without him.

About the author
Lacey Dearie
69 books95 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.

hehe, in a way I can't win . . .
I just made a comment somewhere or other indicating something silly - that I was going to delete all of my romance books off my Kindle, and forever more just read autobiographies from the point of view of cats (said after reading yet another romance book that annoyed me in a specific way). I'd said it jokingly, but then recalled that I actually had 2 or 3 cat point of view stories I could read, and dove into the first of the three. To find that the cat, Leger, worried about his relationship with Ginger, 'his' molly/girlfriend/whatever-word-works-here. Hence my 'I can't win'.
The weird thing? This little dip into troubled romances was handled much more smoothly, and with a better resolution than many of the romance books I'd read lately. So, maybe I can win, then, eh? hehe.
Right so, this story. Leger, Bob, and their humans return to Glasgow from their brief-ish attempt to make a new life on an island running a hotel. Even before they can actually make it back home, though, they hear about a crime that occurred on their street via radio (they heard about the crime by way of radio, not that the crime occurred by way of radio). And suspect that the person involved, as the victim, was someone they know. And someone Leger feels like is family, Nicole being the person I'm referring to here.
So, they arrive at Nicole's place, knock on the door and are greeted by . . . an overly cheerful Nicole. Some confusion there, by the characters in the story not by the reader. Turns out they were right, it was Nicole who was a victim. And she's in a bit of denial, outwardly at least.
Strangely, Leger also notices that Nicole's cat friends, Ginger and Amber, are missing. Right when Nicole needs them the most.
Well, I don't want to get to far down the road here (to expose too much of the plot). The main point is that a crime occurred involving a friend of Leger's (and, I should probably have noted at some point, this friend is a young human female - probably around 18 or so). And the cats are on the case, trying to solve another mystery.
Quite enjoyable. And a happy return to Leger-land.
