Midnight Louie wins more hearts
18. Februar 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
One year has passed since freelance Las Vegas publicist Temple Barr and black alley cat Midnight Louie found each other. Temple also got back with her boyfriend Max Kinsella, a counter terrorist agent with many more enemies than friends. During Max's absence, Temple made a friend in former priest Matt Devine, a virgin. This quartet is linked, and like it or not, are forced to work together at times.
Matt currently worries about a female stalker, Kitty the Cutterwho he wants to keep away from Temple for fear she might harm her. Max tries to keep some of his deadlier enemies away from Temple for the same reason. Midnight Louie wants to keep his prime source for a Grade A meals, along with her two male associates, from injury too. However, Louie also has the job of insuring the safety of his buddy Leopard by seeing that he makes it back to his owner with a little help from Temple and company.
Those who read the first twelve Midnight Louie books will notice that the thirteenth novel returns everyone to the earlier story arcs. CAT IN A LEOPARD SPOT is an enjoyable mystery, especially when the stars are anthromorphized animals that can stand-alone. Yet the story line encourages readers to go back to the beginning to fully appreciate obscure references and ongoing plots. Carole Nelson Douglas shows that her feline has at least thirteen lives.

Enough is enough already!
24. Juli 2001
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I've read every Midnight Louis book to date, but I probably won't finish this one. For starters, it meanders in and out of the characters' brains, probing, ad nauseum, their unresolved doubts and fears. If you haven't read the other books in the series, I have no idea how you'll catch on to what is happening in this one. What's more, why would you care? None of these people are appealing, as they were in earlier books. The first few chapters are maudlin and the mystery is boring. I get the impression the author is treading water with the book's plot in order to keep the series' plot alive. At this point they both look half-drowned to me. Add to that the incessant similes and metaphors that are becoming extremely annoying and you have a book that is hard to pick up and easy to put down. I loved the Irene Adler series and I enjoyed the early Midnight Louis books, but Cat in a Leopard Spot is too irritating for words.

Even Worse Than You Have Been Led to Believe
23. Juli 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I would write just one star only I have a lingering affection for the first of the Irene Adler book and because, well, if she is anything Carole Nelson Douglas is a lady, and I am a gentleman deep down at heart. But someone ought to whisper in her ear that America's appetite for cat mysteries is being toyed with seriously by her MIDNIGHT LOUIE series and, I predict, will soon come to a shuddering halt if she does not refrain.
Going on in this manner is sheer punishment to a loyal readership which has seen Ms. Nelson Douglas through thick and thin. But such goings on cannot be permitted. There are a few good funny lines here and there, but nowhere near 20 dollars worth so itr's a case for the Better Business Bureau too as well as for the ASPCA. I also liked the Chicago interlude, though the means we took to get there were as far-fetched as the flying carpet that transports Sabu through the skies in the old Thief of Bagdad.
Give it up and go back to what you do best. Give us a story with heart, not just claws.
