Leger - Cat Sleuth #44
Leger's Ninth Life
Leger McInnes is ready to retire. He still loves detective work, but after a lifetime of investigating crimes in the local area and beyond, his priorities have changed. Ginger has lost her sight, Bob has seizures, Nicole suffered sepsis and now his beloved Annabella has found a frightening lump. It's time for Leger to move onto his next life as a nurse.
However, there's just one last job to do before he retires and that's to find the people who robbed Meg, his next door neighbour. All the suspicion seems to fall on Ingrid, a mysterious woman who has turned up on their doorstep claiming to be Hugh's long lost relative. Leger knows in his heart that Ingrid is not the culprit. But there is very little evidence and his only ally is another detective who Leger had believed had left their lives long ago...
Will Leger find his happy ever after, or is he destined to lose yet another person he loves?

Beautiful Ending
I love the Leger series. It was hard reading this book because I knew it was the last. I actually put off finishing it because I didn't want it to end. But it has a beautiful conclusion. I will visit Leger often in the coming years. Maybe, someday, you will decide to write another. I can only hope. Thank you, dear lady, for writing such a great story. God bless you.

“Don’t mess with an old lady and her cat.”
A charming and emotional tale which children will love – and which contains some life lessons.
And if you enjoy this, there are plenty more books to read in the Leger series!
