The Cat Sitter's Pajamas/Blaize Clement/260 pgs.

This is the seventh installment in the "Dixie Hemingway" series. Dixie is currently a pet sitter in the Siesta Key, Florida, area. Prior to being a pet sitter, Dixie had been with the sheriff's department, but circumstances in her life made it desirable for her to have a career change--thus her pet sitting role! In this installment, Dixie comes upon an intruder in one of the houses for whom she pet sits. This is no ordinary house, however--it's the home of famed football player, Cupcake Trillin, and it's no ordinary intruder--it's famous model, Briana. The plot thickens, and as always, Dixie is in the middle of the excitement. This is a great series for pet lovers and those who like "cozy" reads. As an aside, this is the last book written entirely by Blaize Clement; she passed away in 2011. Her next book in the series, The Cat Sitter's Cradle, was written in conjunction with her son, John Clement.
