Publisher Description
The delightful crime-solving and aristocratic social adventures of an American antiques expert and a British feline with finesse
It’s love at first sight when a businessman visiting London meets a silver-gray cat named James in the lobby of his apartment house. The two begin meeting regularly for cocktails—single-malt whiskey, neat, for James—and attending posh parties, where James first makes a name for himself by cracking the case of a priceless jewel scam.
Soon James is on the prowl, deterring pickpockets on the subway and ferreting out stamp forgeries and counterfeit paintings. In between crime capers, he screens potential tenants, spends the holidays at an ancestral estate in Devon where the crème de la crème of British society anoints him Sir James, and indulges in his penchants for pâté de fois gras and matchmaking with inimitable panache.
James the Connoisseur Cat is the 1st book in the Connoisseur Cat novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
Customer Reviews
A Most Talented Feline
A delightful tale of James, an extraordinary feline who could multitask as detective, matchmaker, entertainer, Egyptian god, and treasure hunter to mention only a few of his skills. Scotland Yard had to reluctantly admit that James’ problem-solving talent far surpassed theirs in speed and accuracy. A much fun read!
