Cat Got Your Diamonds is the debut of the Kitty Couture Mystery series featuring Lacy Marie Crocker. Lacy has recently returned to her hometown of New Orleans from Virginia following a nasty breakup with boyfriend Pete the Cheat. With the help of wealthy local investor Mr. Tater, Lacy has opened Furry godmother, a pet boutique featuring handmade costumes and organic pet treats.

A rash of recent break-ins has left the Magazine Street shopkeepers on edge. Targeted businesses include Mr. Tater's own Barrel Shop Pub and his jewelry store The Gallery. Mr. Tater promises to send the alarm company out to install a system for Lacy, but the night before they are scheduled to come Lacy stumbles on an intruder in her stockroom. Running for the outside door she sprays the man with her glitter gun and escapes to call the police. Upon returning with the police, the body of Miguel Sanchez is found dead, and Lacy becomes the prime suspect.

Determined to clear her name, Lacy sets out to investigate and soon finds herself the target of the real killer. With a little help from the hunky Detective Jack Oliver she uncovers a long list of murder suspects while also adopting a pet fish, Buttercup and regaining custody of her tabby cat Penelope.

A terrific page turning, at times laugh out loud storyline that not only includes a murder, but delves into the business of animal costume design. Plus, you will find delicious recipes at the back of the book. I can't wait to see what kind of trouble Lacy finds herself in next.
