Even Cat Sitters Get the Blues by Blaize Clement - 5 stars



Even Cat Sitters Get the Blues (Dixie Hemingway Mystery #3)
by Blaize Clement


Dixie has a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The day she happens upon the dead body outside a fancy mansion is no different. She’s had her fill of homicide investigations, so she leaves the gate-keeper’s corpse to be found by somebody else. Unfortunately, that somebody else sees Dixie leaving the scene of the crime, and the fatal bullet might have even come from her own gun! To make matters worse, the owner of the mansion is Dixie’s new client—a scientist who is either a genius, insane, or both—whose pet iguana is under her charge. All that, plus a feisty calico kitten that needs some TLC, means that time is running out for Dixie to catnip this case in the bud… and collar the killer.

My Review
This was the third book in this series and a very good mystery. I like this series, they mystery was interesting and kept me guessing until the end. I also like Dixie the main character, she's a pet sitter and throughout the book there are little tidbits and advice for care of pets, like iguanas and kittens. My favorite character in book was Ziggy the iguana I never thought I would like a lizard but after reading this book I can't help but loving them a little. One other thing reading the books in this series always makes me hungry, Dixie is always meeting people at restaurants or having dinner at someone's house or mentioning some fantastic meal her fireman/chef brother Michael is making!

I also love Blaize Clement's description of Florida and the special people that live there, especially the "snowbirds".
