Sinopsis

Midnight Louie, alley-cat extraordinaire and Las Vegas's hairiest, hard-boiled PI, finds himself literally walking a tightrope when a fabulous museum opening at one of Sin City's swankiest casinos is marred by a little thing like death.

Louie's loyal roommate, feisty PR freelancer Temple Barr, has snagged the commission of her career: repping the opening exhibition of the Russian Czars' priceless treasures at the New Millennium Hotel, the apex of which is the Czar Alexander Scepter, a priceless jewel-encrusted artifact.

Trouble is, the hotel has booked an aerial magic act right above the exhibition.

Temple works at a breakneck pace to coordinate this logistical nightmare. Tragedy ensues when a performer dies right above where the collection will be displayed and the police threaten to shut everything down. But the word "no" isn't one heard often in Las Vegas when money is involved and the show (or shows) must go on. Just as things seem to be working...

Reseñas Varias sobre este libro



I have mixed feelings about this book. It could be that I didnt start at the beginning of the series or it could be that parts of it were hard to follow. For example how does Matt know lieutenant Molina. That was a bit confusing he has to have some sort of relationship for her to allow him to take her daughter to ghe daddy daughter dance. I dont know about this series. Of course I skipped over the pages where midnight Louie narrated that I found weird and distracting. I figured when I checked this book out from the library the cat would be the cats in the cat who books who played a role and would do mischievous cat things to bring attention to clues. Not narrate part of the story.1 Joan217 6

Temple's newest PR gig is the opening of the Treasures of Czarist Russia exhibit in the New Millenium Hotel.

There are magicians and aerial acts involved, and of course, thieves who want the treasures.

Midnight Louie and Temple embark on yet another mystery, with deadly results for some, and adventure for Louie, Louise, and Temple and her loved ones, including Max, who loves Temple, but doesn't want to endanger her. Hope116

A great mystery with a delightful turn of phrase. The detective did the big sit- down big reveal of the murderer that Agatha Christie always did and it was just so much fun to read! Michele1,902 36

This book was great, along the lines of the others..however, I was NOT expecting, or ready for.....the ending. Cannot wait for the next book to come in to the library!! Roxanna39

This one was actually quite good! Haven70 8

I was really, really surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It's the type of mystery I pick up when I want something mindless and somewhat entertaining. I was pleasantly surprised at how intelligent and well-written the book was. The author has a sharp wit and an excellent command of the English language. I'll be reading the rest of the series.fun light-mystery mystery Kelaine159 7

I never quite wrapped my head around the idea of a talking cat. And there were so many unanswered questions: Who was stalking Molina? Who killed Max? Who rigged the platforms to collapse? Not the best mystery I've ever read.mystery-suspense Jennifer16

Ok, so the cover is what drew my attention to this book in Half Price Books. That it is set in my former home town was another selling point. But beyond that it's horrible! I couldn't even get a quarter of the way through it. What drivel! Ugh!hated-it Laura275 Shelved as 'probablywontfinish'

The cat was funny at first, then got really irritating with the style of speaking and I gave up. Melissa945 8

the whole Max and Matt thing is just too mucg- and then Douglas seems to cop out by getting rid of Max with an act gone wrongThis entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.Show full review Erin1,863 1 follower

I d this book quite a bit, although I don't agree with Temple's romantic choice. I will need to read the next one to see if Max is really dead....favorites Roxann876 9

I enjoyed reading this book. Midnight Louie is a good character/cat. Helen2,479

Matt brings trouble everywhere he goes. Bungees, Max, Splat! Mary Newcomb1,727 2 Read

Hmm! Mysterious deaths abound and the back story very much becomes the story this time around. I'm not sure if I'm ready for the direction suggested by the end of this episode.

I didn't this book because I couldn't get interested in the story and I thought it was boring. I wish the author had done more to make it more interesting. Kim1,372 24

Now I remember why I put this series on hold. It's a bit much on the flowery language. Otherwise, I do enjoy the characters, and every few chapters written by Midnight Louie. Sandra679 8
