The Cat Who Saw Red
Book 4 of the The Cat Who series
Qwilleran's doctor orders him to lose weight just as the newspaper assigns him to write about food and restaurant culture. Moving into the culinary boarding house Maus Haus reunites him with former girlfriend Joy, now a potter in a troubled marriage. A scream, a disappearance, and suspicious behavior convince Qwilleran that the household's artistic charm covers violence. Cozy and food-centered, this mystery suits readers who enjoy communal houses, restaurant reporting, pottery clues, and Siamese cats responding to a crime more perceptively than the people insisting nothing happened.
