Praise for Blaize Clement and
Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter
“A first-rate debut.”
—Booklist
“An entertaining debut. Dixie is a complex, well-conceived character and the plot fast-moving and believable.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“At once a cozy mystery for animal lovers and a jarringly earthy hard-boiled whodunit about human corruption. Clement’s sleuth, Florida pet-sitter Dixie Hemingway, is an engaging combination of vulnerability and toughness, but the real heroine of the story is a gritty Abyssinian cat. A good read!”
—Susan Conant, author of Bride and Groom and the Holly Winter Dog Lover’s Mysteries
“Kick off your flip-flops, find a hammock, and settle in for a fun read. Clement’s Floridian heroine, Dixie Hemingway, spouts laugh-out-loud one-liners and words of wisdom in this intriguing whodunit filled with twists, turns, and some pretty captivating critters!”
—Cynthia Baxter, author of Lead a Horse to Murder
“Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter has it all: a feisty heroine, lovable animals, and a solid whodunit. What more could you ask for?”
—Barbara Seranella, creator of the Munch Mancini crime novels
“A fantastic who-done-it…Fans of fast-paced clever mysteries will appreciate Dixie’s efforts to uncover the culprit before she either goes to jail or dies.”
—Harriet Klausner Reviews
“A new star in the ‘mysteries with animals’ firmament…this book stands out in the genre for its plotting, pacing, and well-formed characters, in addition to an enticing tropical locale.”
—The Kingston Observer (Kingston, MA)
“A keeper, with its plucky protagonist, cats galore, and a nice sense of place.”
—Library Journal
