Hollywood 1936
It seems like just another day of putting out fires when one of Olympus Studios’ actresses goes missing. Maisie Hart is due to make an appearance on the balcony of her home for a public appearance, but seems to have vanished. Lisette Darling is put into service to find her.
What results is a madcap adventure that uncovers a puzzling crime scene, a mystery that may be worth a million dollars, two dead bodies…and a cheetah!
Oddly enough, the only innocent party appears to be the cat.
The Cat and the Cadaver is the fourth book in the Lisette Darling Golden Age Mysteries series set in 1930s Hollywood. Enjoy a mix of wit, twisty suspense, and the glitz and glamour reminiscent of classic films all set in a cozy mystery.

Very enjoyable
Lisette Darling can alway be depended upon for a zany, enjoyable adventure.
In “The Cat and the Cadaver,” Lisette must deal with a Cheetah, several cadavers (not simply one), scheming studio associates, the LAPD, of course, and her own private detective.
Colette Clark has given us a clever, convoluted, sometime frustrating plot, but Lisette is up to the challenge and - thankfully for those of her gender - she cracks the case on her own.
I strongly recommend “The Cat and the Cadaver”(s). -
Don't get me wrong, I liked the story. I just felt that there was so much unnecessary running around that detracted from the story. Oh, I also found them saying that they were going to see a little birdie or flower annoying.

Another Great Read
Keep 'em coming. I love these books about Lisette and her many adventures in Hollywood. The studio system is quite fascinating. More, more, more!
