Former Florida police officer turned pet-sitting sleuth is once again on the prowl. Dixie Hemingway no relation to you-know-who is helping an elderly gentleman, Mr. Stern, take care of his orange shorthair cat, Cheddar. But it's Stern's infant granddaughter, Opal, who really wins Dixie's heart. Problem is that Opal's mother, Ruby, has some dangerous connections to certain local big-money honchos. Ruby has enough insider information to send them to prison for life and they are willing to do anything, even threaten Opal's life, to shut her up and preserve their ill-gotten gains. Now it's up to Dixie to protect Opal from harm at all costs. And she must do it without letting law-enforcement people know not even Detective Guidry, with whom she happens to be romantically involved. Does Dixie have her claws sunk in too deep to make it out of this one? Or are her nine lives finally up?"
Love this series and this book is really a good addition to it.

I really like the characters in this series. The events and the story line moves along well and are always interesting. The mystery usually has twists and turns that keep me intrigued. There are good surprises along the way.
