Journal Entry 1 by catsalive from Rooty Hill, New South Wales Australia on Sunday, October 07, 2007

Alice Nestleton, beautiful off-off Broadway actress-turned-amateur detective, has been forced into a life of crime with some cat-sitting on the side. This hot summer in New York she has taken a hiatus from stage and scene-of-the-crime to join a coterie of cat-lovers in cultivating a Manhattan herb garden. Unfortunately, a party to celebrate their first crop of peppermint ends with one of their group falling from a 25th floor terrace. Alice is stunned and grief stricken at the apparent suiceide. Alice soon smells a rat and discovers that the victim's dearest friends may well have been her most murderous enemies.

I loved all the cats, of course, they all had personality. There were some plot points introduced that went nowhere, introduced for no apparent reason, and I'm surprised Alice didn't get slapped a few times for being so pushy. I didn't find her a believeable sleuth. Overall, the book rambled - surprising in such a short novel - and the characters were little more than ciphers, but an easy read & it made my flight from Sydney to Melbourne (to the Australian BC convention!) pass quickly.
