Cat in a yellow spotlight

Carole Nelson Douglas

eAudio - 2014

Ground-breaking band Black & White was platinum before it imploded from an overdose of sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll years ago. Now, the Las Vegas reunion show revives the old troubles between its two divas, and efforts to sabotage end in murder. Petite PR powerhouse Temple Barr and her faithful feline roommate Midnight Louie, assisted by the Vegas Cat Pack, must sniff out clues to save the Crystal Phoenix hotel's reputation and any at-risk lives, including their own. For sleuths and suspects, it all comes down to the black and white lies that destroy hopes, lives, and family.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

In Douglas's 26th Midnight Louie mystery (after 2013's Cat in an Alien X-ray), Las Vegas PR guru Temple Barr takes a few days away from her ex-priest fiance, Matt, to help diffuse tensions at the reunion concert of a rock band that split up 30 years ago. Everything is going well-indeed, Temple even gets a free makeover-until a dead body turns up on stage. Frothy, fun, and charming, Temple looks like a teen, but speaks with middle-aged wisdom. Those attuned to the zeitgeist will best appreciate the many pop-culture references (e.g., teen idol Justin Bieber, the book and movie Philomena). The sections narrated by Louie the cat often feel extraneous, and previous installments' plotlines thematically linked to this entry are insufficiently explained, which will lose readers new to the series (e.g., the whole "Kitty the Cutter" theme).
