My Review
Four Stars
When a man is murdered outside Furry Godmother, Lacy Crocker's pet boutique and organic treat bakery, and her fingerprints are all over the murder weapon, Lacy takes it upon herself to clear her name and investigate the crime herself. Detective Jack Oliver is not pleased, to say the least, with her nosing around the investigation, threatening to arrest her for obstruction if she doesn't stop.
I've heard a lot of great things about this book, so I was excited to read it. It totally lived up to my expectations. It's set in New Orleans, so I really enjoyed that. I'm an animal lover, so I loved Lacy's unique occupation. What an awesome idea for a business! The back and forth between Lacy and Jack was super amusing and one of my favorite aspects of this story. The mystery was really well done. I had a fleeting thought, a niggling of suspicion, about the culprit, but I decided it couldn't be that person, so I moved on to other suspects... Boy, was I wrong, lol!
Cat Got Your Diamonds was a great cozy mystery filled with lots of laugh out loud moments. I highly recommend this for any lover of cozy mysteries!

A girl could get lost in those eyes if they weren't accusing her of murder.
In southern law, the “respect your mama” rule was followed closely by the “behave because you represent your family name” rule.
