This book contains two short stories in one Story #1 The Escapee Patricia Lansbury, consulting detective, has solved plenty of crimes in the Yorkshire village of Little Hamilton. So has her estranged son, Detective Constable Andrew Lansbury, who was forced to leave the village in disgrace following a scandal. Now the past has come back to haunt Pattie. An escaped prisoner that her son once put away is out for violent justice, and now Pattie has to solve her most personal crime yet. But how are a suspicious homeless person, a multi-millionaire entrepreneur, and a houseful of cats connected to the mystery? And can Pattie resolve the matter before the sins of the son catch up with the mother? Story # 2 The Case of the Catnapper Pattie Lansbury, amateur sleuth owner of Yorkshire’s only Feline Retirement Home, has now established a much-needed vetinary practice in her sleepy village of Little Hamilton. Others might be suspicious of her secret investor, but Pattie is more concerned about the rumours of stolen cats spreading across the English countryside. As the cat-nappers take things to the next level, Pattie is drawn into a mystery far more personal than she would ever have imagined. Who is stealing Little Hamilton’s furry residents, and why? And how is it connected to the secret investor and some of Pattie’s shiftiest customers? It will take one determined consulting detective to find out, along with some kitties with very special skills!]]> Tue, 24 Nov 2015 21:15:10 +0200 https://crime.library.land/nancy-davis/376129-crosswords_and_puzzles_an_amateur_sleuth_collie_holland_cat_cozy_mystery_series_book_1.html https://crime.library.land/nancy-davis/376129-crosswords_and_puzzles_an_amateur_sleuth_collie_holland_cat_cozy_mystery_series_book_1.html
Millie Holland spends her days writing advice columns, reading mystery novels, watching crime shows, and tending to her family of cats with diverse and quirky personalities. A sixty-ish divorcee, she keeps a precise schedule and a close watch on her early retirement complex in Ft. Lauderdale. Little did she know her curiosity and penchant for solving puzzles would lead her to play amateur sleuth when her next door neighbor, Mr. Williams, turned up dead. The police are convinced there’s nothing to investigate, but Millie knows better and won’t rest until the people who stole Mr. Williams’ life from him pay with years of their own spent in prison. In her bumbling way – and despite the distraction of five felines and lack of confidence of the overworked Officer Marx – Millie launches her own brand of investigative efforts, with nothing more than her wit, intelligence, and imitation of Prime Time law enforcement.]]> Mon, 24 Nov 2014 04:06:02 +0200
