Midnight Louie is simply the cat's meow in my book!
Midnight Louie, cat detective and tomcat about town (Las Vegas that is), and his "human," Temple Barr are on the prowl again after a mysterious happening at a cat show. Also, strange happenings occur at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church involving obscene phone calls, priestly secrets, and lots of cats. A good read which I couldn't put down. If you are a fan of Midnight Louis mysteries or any ...

Murder by Magic: Twenty Tales of Crime and the Supernatural

2 reviews

Aspect, 2004

one of the best consistent compilations of the year
This superb twenty collection anthology runs the mystery gamut but has the common thread as stated by Rosemary Edghill in her introduction that "a crime (preferably by murder), and magic and the supernatural had to be somehow involved". Each tale does that and though the format is short story, readers will believe in the use of magic albeit whether to commit a crime, solve a crime, or both. The ...

Purrr-fect

Nicky Fontana and his wife Van von Rhine own the classic Vegas small hotel and casino and are making it a must go to place in Las Vegas. Inside the hotel is the Crystal Curtain Music Theatre where Gentleman Johnny Diamond sings the tunes that ...

Cat in a Crimson Haze
I enjoy all of the Midnight Louie mysteries. I love cats and if you do too, you will definitely like these books. Makes you wonder what our cats really do on their own time!

Tor Books, 1990

An enchanting, enagaging mix of mystery, romance and sf
Carole Nelson Douglas mixes genres masterfully in Probe. There is romance, mystery and science fiction in this story of a beautiful young woman lost to herself. Jane (Jane Doe) is both riveting and enraging as a character. She is a savant, a human computer and a child. The end result, romance between herself and the doctor assigned to her case, is brought about slowly as he and Jane realize ...

Amberleigh is definitely a keeper!
This is a great book! I have read a few romance books and have always been discouraged by their sexual content. One major plus about Amberleigh is that there are no sex scenes at all. The book focuses on a young girl who is forced into a lower quality life than she once hoped for, by a friend's mother and a costly death. She accepts this way of life, and therefore proves her true friendship. ...

Forge Books, 2006

Best entry since "Jeweled Jumpsuit"
The series has been going since 1992. I've been reading it since then and may be more bothered than most that in the early volumes Matt grew up on a farm and in later ones in Chicago; that in the early volumes Temple has older brothers and sisters, while in the later ones only older brothers. Ah, well. Not everyone is a historian. Someday, perhaps, a continuity specialist can take a hand ...

Reprint of a wonderful book.
This book is actually a reprint of a book under a different title. The original title was Irene's Last Waltz, and it is the 4th in the series. In it, Irene Adler Norton, whom we first met in Arthur Conan Doyle's short story, "A Scandal in Bohemia," returns to Bohemia to discover that an impostor has been put in the place of the real king and that a nocturnal monster is stalking the capital ...

Tenth book juggles complicated plot expertly!
Three murders with 3 different, yet interconnected victims, a more humanizing look at Det. Molina, an exciting and fresh detour for Matt, and a new beguiling addition to the cast help this latest Midnite Louie outing succeed where the preceding book felt off-kilter. The mystery itself is engrossing and kept me guessing as to whodunit. I'm tempted to recommend it to the beginner in the series ...

Another great entry!
This book is another great entry in the Midnight Louie series, giving us the back story on Darcy McGill and Steven Austin. I really enjoy finding out about the characters before we got to know them in the other Midnight Louie "The cat and the..." books. If only I didn't have to wait until June to find out what happens next... I'm glad they these books are now in print, as they give the ...

I love this book!!
This book was as good as the first one. Usually only the first book is good and then the rest are repetitive. The characters are really well developed and they continue to change and mature throughout the book. I can't wait for the third book but it's 2003 and it's still not out. Will C.N. Douglas ever publish it? It was supposed to come out in 1999! I've read that now it's supposed to come ...

Cat in a Midnight Choir

St. Martin's Press, 2002

Another Exciting Chapter in the Midnight Louie Series
And believe me, it is only a "chapter." But what a chapter! It's certainly possible to read these books out of sequence and enjoy them on individual merits, but reading them as a big, 27-chapter Uber-Novel is absolutely the way to go! "Cat in a Midnight Choir" probably doesn't stand very well on its own as a single book, as there's no core to it that exists in this book alone, but as a chapter ...

Marilyn: Shades of Blonde

Forge, 1997

You don't have to be a Monroe fan to enjoy this book!
This is a fascinating collection of stories by a great cross-section of writers. My favorite story was the touching and funny "Destiny" by Patricia Wallace. Ms. Wallace has written numerous outstanding horror and mystery novels, including the Sydney Bryant private eye series. This offbeat anthology should find a permanent place on many bookshelves.
