Midnight Louie goes along when public relations whiz Temple Barr and her fianc├®, rising media star Matt Devine, head to Chicago so she can meet his family. Matt's mother has a tragic past primed to rise and bite anybody in reach. When Louie is snatched, the catnapping's surprising motive loops back to Vegas and a string of unsolved murders connected to magic…and ex-magician Max Kinsella, Temple's former significant other.
A skeptical homicide lieutenant has commissioned Max to investigate the cold case murder she suspects he committed. With traumatic amnesia from a recent attempt on his life, the once infallible Max is more sitting duck than predator. It will take an alliance of frenemies to solve the serial deaths before one of them joins the fatality list.

"I've read the whole series and find I read it more for the ongoing characters then for the "mysteries". I imagine it would be a very difficult book to follow if you haven't been following the series, even though the author provides a synopsis in the first chapter." — Kathleen (4 out of 5 stars)
"I've read the whole series and find I read it more for the ongoing characters then for the "mysteries". I imagine it would be a very difficult book to follow if you haven't been following the series, even though the author provides a synopsis in the first chapter."
" They say don't judge a book by it's cover. Well, I did. I thought it was an adorable cover and I love cats. So I grabbed it. Couldn't get into it after the intro and first chapter. Just not my cup of tea. I THINK it's trying to be old school PI/mystery, etc. With a talking cat as a hook. "
" 3 books left to go in the series. Some interesting new characters, but some of the dialogue is so cringe worthy.. "
" Sigh. Corny, cheesy, the mystery a huge mess that I can't remember what's going on from book to book (nor do I really care). I've come this far, I'm in til the bitter end. "
" I am getting more befuddled with Temple's private life with every book. This book was about as interesting as the other 24 Midnight Louie books...but her "Tailpiece" on other matters answered many questions about Louie...so that was good to get to! "
" Another soapy romp with Louie and the human triangle of Temple, Matt, and Max. More twists and turns of romantic lives, and enough wisecracks to keep things purring along. Fun. "
" Somehow this one did not hold my interest as much as previous books in the series.....maybe because I was having trouble remembering all the past murders that were mentioned and played a part in the story. Will still read the next one to see if there is finally a wedding! "
" Finally a marriage even if it isn't our heroine- "
" I did enjoy this. I've discovered I'm no longer as thrilled with all the jumping around between the various points of view although I do enjoy the cat's points of view. Ready for the conclusion of the series. "
" This installment was another nice addition to this cozy series. I love Louie's "voice." His noir speech and turns of phrases never fail to make me smile. Recommended to cozy readers and cat lovers. "
" A fun read, but come on, it's time for Matt and Temple to get married. Yes, from the title, you think the do...wrong! Louie has a lot of chutzpah, though! "
" I've read the entire series and I'm ready for temple to marry. This is daytime drama in print -- who's really dead, what other skeletons lurk in the lives of the characters and those they love, will the main characters ever find love, and what despised / loved character will return from the dead ... "
" Not my favorite of the series. I'll keep reading through the end of the series since I've come this far, but I'm a little tired of the style of writing and how the characters all talk the same. I really had to make myself finish this one. "
" Great as always, but didn't have the "zing" most of the others in the series have. Not sure why...otherwise I would have given it 4 stars. Will keep reading until the end.... "
" Love Louie and that Louise. "
