Cozy Mystery
Date Published: December 6, 2016
Publisher: Penguin/Berkley Prime Crime
While catering a gala for the Cruz Museum, Nora Charles agrees to look into the disappearance of director Violet Crenshaw’s niece, a case previously undertaken by her frisky feline friend Nick’s former owner, a private eye whose whereabouts are also currently unknown.
As Nora and her curious cat Nick pull at the string of clues, they begin to unravel a twisted tale of coded messages, theft, false identities, murder, and international espionage. Nora dares to hope that the labyrinth of leads will not only help them locate the missing young woman, but also solve the disappearance of the detective. That’s if Nora can stay alive long enough to find him...
Review
First of all, that blurb completely drew me in. I was pleasantly surprised by the way T.C. Lotempio was able to keep me on my toes.
I love reading mysteries and trying to figure out what could possibly come next.
I'll have to admit, I was surprised in a couple of places throughout the novel.

The way the novel was set up was different and unique and fun. I love the fact that Nick is such an instrumental part of the novel.
