Temple Barr is a sharp and sassy public relations ace in Las Vegas whose life is finally taking a turn for the better. Hard-nosed homicide lieutenant Carmen Molina is too busy chasing after her own ex-lover, rogue L.A. cop Rafi Nadir, to pursue Temple's boyfriend, sexy magician Max Kinsella, and nobody Temple knows has been murdered...at least, not in the past few weeks. Temple takes this downtime as a signal she should buy a new pair of Jimmy Choo spike heels and accept the job of planning a glitzy week of opening events for a trendy new furniture showroom. Dealing with temperamental decor mavens is no problem for a woman who's saved leopards from big-game hunters, tracked killers through strip clubs, calmed the cantankerous owners of Las Vegas's most glamorous hotel, and seen the ghost of Elvis - until the life of feng shui expert and media-crowned domestic dominatrix Amelia Wong is threatened. Suddenly Temple is neck deep in trouble...and bodies. And Temple has one more problem - one she doesn't even know about: 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 Pl firm, is on the case. The catch? Louie is Temple's cat.

In her cat/PR woman mystery series, Carole Nelson Douglas created a friendly and approachable pair of sleuths. Her Louie/Temple Barr series had always been very much the kind of entertaining without being redundant or repetitive. However, by the time she wrote Cat in a Flamingo Fedora it seemed that the bloom was off the rose and as if she herself had lost interest in her quirky cast of characters. In this novel, Douglas is finally back on track with a cohesive set of storylines that interplay in a fashion that provides a good deal of reader enjoyment. Cat in an Orange Twist reintroduces the quixotic Danny Dove and provides readers with more detail about him; in fact, he becomes an essential motivating character within the book. The best thing about this book is that Douglas has regained her sense of humor, has re-established her ability to interweave issues and events, and has produced another highly enjoyable read. It is good to read Ms. Douglas back at the top of her game here.
