The Cat Sitter's Pajamas
by Blaize Clement
After several serious books, I decided it was time again for something light and cozy. The Cat Sitters Pajamas really hit the right tone in more ways than one! Since I had just picked this book up at the library, I decided to dip right in. I started it yesterday and finished today. (Since we had freezing rain atop 2 inches of snow this morning, and the temperature hasn't gone above 30 degrees, I decided the best thing I could do was snuggle up with a book about cats and pets that takes place in Florida!)
This delightful book continues the saga of Dixie Hemingway, pet sitter and former deputy sheriff who had lost her husband and child to an elderly driver. Dixie is taking care of two cats, Elvin and Lucy, who belong to a famous football player, Cupcake Trillin, and his wife, Jancey.
They are taking a cooking vacation in Italy, and Dixie has a temporary security code to their villa in a high end secure neighborhood. However, no security is perfect because when Dixie steps into the house, she is greeted by a woman wearing nothing more than one of Calvin's shirts.
She is supermodel, Briana, who claims to be a childhood friend of Cupcake's. She has equipment which allows her to bypass security. Unfortunately, there is more to this than meets the eye when a dead woman with no ID is found in the house. Soon Dixie is drawn into a web of high end counterfeit goods, Serbian gangsters and more. It's a fun book and the latest in a series that I read from the beginning. Unfortunately, in reading some recent reviews, I learned that the author, Blaize Clement, died last summer. Her son, John Clement, is continuing the series and a new book is due to be published in 2013. I hope her son does a good job because I've enjoyed the little pet tips, and other trivia. One of the things included in the book is that if you freeze chocolate chip cookies after they have cooled, the chocolate sets up better and the cookies are crispier. I'm going to have to give that a try. RIP, Blaize Clements. Here's hoping John can continue the series.
