Publisher Description
When Pru Marlowe gets the call that there’s been a cat shooting, she’s furious. Animal brutality is one thing that this tough animal psychic won’t stand for, and in her role as a behaviorist, she’s determined to care for the traumatized pet.
But when Pru finds out that it was the cat who did the shooting—accidentally setting off a rare dueling pistol—she realizes something else is going on. Could the white Persian really have killed her owner, or did the whole bloody mess have something to do with one pricey collectible? With the white cat turning a deaf ear to her questions, Pru must tune in to Beauville’s other pampered residents, from the dead man’s elite social set to their equally spoiled pets, to learn the truth, before her ex, a former New York cop, gets too close.
In a world where value is determined by a price tag, the pedigreed puss may have a reason for revenge, and only Pru Marlowe and her trusty tabby, Wallis, can figure out whether this was a case of feline felony or if some human has set up the Persian as the ultimate cat’s-paw.

" I'm not sure I want to know what my cats are thinking, so I probably wouldn't read another "

" Second in the series. Its a nice light mystery. I enjoy the quirky characters but sometimes the action seems a bit contrived. "
— Carrying, 10/20/2013 -
" Don't bother. The heroine was too stupid to live. Whoever proofread this book needs to be fired. Way too many spelling and punctuation errors. "
— Cathi, 7/30/2013 -
" I really like Clea Simon's approach to pet murder mysteries. I won't say that it's great writing, but it's conforting for any pet lover. The recurring theme of "I'm not understanding what the animals are trying to tell me" was a little too repetitive this time though. "
— Olgalijo, 5/7/2013 -
" Like the first one, this is more of a 3.5 stars, esp since I listened to Tavia Gilbert reads it. "
— Dblaroche, 2/6/2013 -

— Kay, 11/16/2012 -
