Cat in an Orange Twist — Carole Nelson Douglas

Temple Barr is a sharp and sassy public relations ace in Las Vegas whose life is finally looking up. Nobody is trying to steal her boyfriend, kill strippers, resurrect Elvis, or ruin her business, and no one she knows has been murdered--at least, not in the last few weeks.

What's a girl to do with so much free time on her hands? Buy a new pair of Jimmy Choo spike heels, of course, and accept the job of planning a glitzy week of opening events for a trendy new furniture show room. Dealing with temperamental decor mavens is no problem for Temple--until the life of Amelia Wong, feng shui expert and media-crowned domestic dominatrix, is threatened.

Suddenly Temple is neck deep in trouble... and dead bodies. Luckily, her roommate Louie, and his maybe-daughter Louise, have decided to make sure that Temple's search for a killer furniture arrangement doesn't mean curtains for her. Midnight Inc. Investigations, their PI firm, is on the case. The catch?

Louie is Temple's cat.
