http://www.cremedelacrime.com/backlist.htm Page down the backlist and you'll find it. It's on sale I think.
Hill's second is out and should be on the way to me shortly. IGNORE the covers. I know they don't look at all cozy, (and are horrid) but I assure you--these are cozies--fun, lovable, excellent reads.
There's a chihuahua, a missing cat, a sleuth on the run...and she must step into a "dead woman's shoes" to find a job...
Seriously good stuff!

Maria, that does sound good, thank you!

Since you're familiar with the cozy genre, you know the Lilian Jackson Braun and Margaret Maron books already?

Jane Cleland is on my list of "to try when I find" - Not a big fan of either John Dickson Carr or John D. and Francis Beeding is new to me. Yes, I've read all the Cat Who...books, and I have the Margaret Maron lined up to try again - tried the first one and my mood was off or something, but do want to try her again.
Thanks for the recommendations!
