Mimi Lee is on top of the world. She has a thriving pet grooming business, the sweetest boyfriend, and a talking cat to boot. When she arrives at the elementary school where her sister Alice works, she' s expecting a fun girls' night out-but instead finds a teacher slumped over in her car, dead. Alice was the last one to see Helen Reed, which instantly marks her as the prime suspect. Unable to sit quietly and let the authorities walk all over her sister, Mimi starts snooping and talks to Helen' s closest contacts, including one jumpy principal, a two-faced fiance, and three sketchy teachers. With the help of her sassy but savvy cat, Marshmallow, and a cute kitten named Nimbus, the clock' s ticking for Mimi to get to the bottom of yet another case before her sister gets schooled.
I haven' t loved a cat in a book this much since I read the first The Cat Who Could Read Backwards by Lillian Jackson Braun a hundred years ago. This series is also set in the Los Angeles area -- hmmm, am I missing California? - Mimi has opened a pet grooming service so she meets a lot of quirky pet owners. Mimi' s mother is a hoot, too. Mimi is a delight and I can' t wait to hang out with her again. --Poisoned Pen This is catnip for fans of talking cat cozies. "--Publishers Weekly"[Mimi Lee Reads Between the Lines] will appeal to readers who enjoy Vivien Chien' s Noodle Shop mysteries, with their Chinese American heroines, as well as similar family dynamics and portrayals of savvy businesswomen. "--Booklist If you love an intriguing mystery with an appealing protagonist, a wisecracking cat, and lively family dynamics you must read the Sassy Cat mysteries by Jennifer Chow.
