A Catered Cat Wedding

There are cat people and then there are CAT PEOPLE. Suzie Katz (naturally) falls into the second category. She contacts Libby and Bernie to cater the wedding between her two Russian blue cats - Boris and Natasha. Suzie is very rich, very mean and very eccentric and has had numerous battles with her neighbors. (A Catered Cat Wedding will be released on September 25 by Kensington Books.)

As they plan the wedding in Longely, New York, Libby and Bernie feel as if they are planning a wedding for people. Suzie loves her cats and believes their lineage traces back to the Russian czars so the wedding will include sapphire-studded collars and a veil for the "bride".

The food will have a Russian flavor, naturally and includes caviar, plus raw, smoked and poached salmon and a variety pates, a wedding planner with the exotic name of Mrs. Gertrude Van Trumpet. Assisting with cat maintenance are Suzie's niece Grace and her hapless nephew Ralph.

Under the gigantic tent set up for the wedding, Libby and Bernie
begin putting together the foods. Invited guests include three women who have had nothing but trouble with Suzie. Little do they know that she plans to buy their houses and then demolish them. Not a nice person, our Suzie.

When one of the wedding gifts includes a box of mice, chaos ensues with cats and mice scurrying into several directions. While everyone is out chasing cats and mice, someone decides to murder Suzie by stabbing her in the throat with a letter opener.

Not ones to shy away fro a murder investigation, Libby and Bernie dive right in especially as the current police chief Lucy keeps threatening to lock them up. Even their father, the former police chief, decides to investigate.

Another zany investigation including Libby's mortician boyfriend Marvin, and Bernie's boyfriend Brandon.
