Product Description
A charming new mystery series from beloved and bestselling author, Gilbert Morris... Introducing... Jacques the Ripper: A tough?minded ?Savannah? breed of feline?fierce, enormous, and with a mind of his own. And... Cleo: A multi?colored ?Rag Doll? with long silky hair. Cleo is as affectionate as Jacques is tough and her favorite mode of transportation is draped over the shoulder of the nearest human. In their debut mystery, Jacques and Cleo and their owner...or rather the human they own, Kate Forrest, and her son, Jeremy, move to a beautiful beach house in Gulf Shores, Alabama, left to Kate by a distant relative. The catch is that another distant relative, wanna?be novelist (and bonafide cat?hater) Jake Novak, has also inherited an interest in the house. Undeterred, Kate and Jeremy move in the downstairs quarters and Jake takes the separate apartment upstairs. Then, when a murder occurs...everyone is stumped?but feline sleuths Jacques and Cleo come to the rescue and reveal the identity of the killer. About this series: For years, mystery readers and cat lovers alike have devoured the suspense novels by Lillian Jackson Braun, Rita Mae Brown and others, in what has developed into the bestselling cat?mystery genre. Now, veteran fiction author Gilbert Morris joins the ranks of those prestigious novelists with his Jacques and Cleo, Cat Detectives series, destined to become a welcome addition to this genre by feline fanatics everywhere.

 Loved this book November 3, 2008

I recently found this author and this series so I wasn't sure what I was in for. This is a great read. I would recommend this to anyone. It is not a long book. Although the cats help to solve the mystery - most of the action involves the people.
 A good idea, but lost me along the way October 1, 2008

I really struggled to enjoy this book and will not continue with the series. The premise was good and the writing well-done, but the lack of animal character development and participation in a series named after them, seemed like a ploy to bring over "Cat Who" or "Sneaky Pie" fans. There was also quite a lot of religion, which would have been ok with a gentler hand, but got quite heavy at times. I hated how the author used it to paralyze the lead female. I have always thought faith helped someone make choices, but this character seemed to spend most of her time reading the bible and waiting for signs from God. Maybe that was needed to make the male lead seem more decisive, but it made her look so inept, that I began to lost interest in the story quickly.
I admit to a preference for strong female characters though, so if this doesn't bother you, you may enjoy the book more than I did.
Too much religion. August 15, 2008

Fairly good story and characters, but, too much religion. Half way through I needed to be "saved".

It's so nice to read a book without graphic nonsense. The story was very entertaining too.

I like animal-related detective series and this book filled that bill. The story, the characters, and the role of the animals were all enjoyable. It was good enough that I will buy the rest of the series.
