Synopsis:
Lacy Marie Crocker’s whimsical pet couture has gained a following in New Orleans’s cozy Garden District, and word of mouth has traveled all the way to her favorite fashion designer, Annie Lane. Lacy’s thrilled when Annie schedules a private session at her home to discuss a companion line for her evening wear, but when Lacy arrives for the appointment, she enters the kitchen to two mewling Siamese cats--and one very dead Annie.
Lacy takes the kittens home to care for them until they can be properly claimed by Annie's family or friends, but after a busy day of work, she returns home to find them missing. And when Lacy learns the cats are set to inherit Annie's fortune, she begins to wonder if the killer was after the kittens all along. Now Lacy will stop at nothing to save the Siamese and find justice for Annie--if the killer doesn’t sink his claws into her first.
Luckily, Lacy has the help of handsome NOLA PD homicide detective Jack Oliver to help her catch the cat-napper before its too late in Cat Got Your Cash, the endearing second Kitty Couture mystery from Julie Chase.

My Review:
4 out of 5 stars
I really enjoyed this book! I haven't read the first book in this series but I will definitely be going back to read it. There are a lot of enjoyable characters in this book. There are a number of other things going on so I was constantly invested in the story, needing to know what would happen next and how everything would turn out. The killer wasn't easy to figure out. Once I thought I knew who it was, suspicion would go to someone else. I was totally taken by surprise! I really liked the idea of Lacy's shop. It's such a unique and cute idea. I also loved the descriptions of the French Quarter and other areas in New Orleans. You really get a feel for the environment down there and are able to picture everything like you're actually there yourself. I'm looking forward to reading future books in this series.
