Temple's Aunt Kit is about to tie the knot to a Fontana brother and it's time to celebrate but life is never simple around Temple Barr. The bachelor's party turns out to be less tame than planned and Matt is caught in the middle of yet another murder mystery but this time he is ironically trapped in a brothel. Not only are ALL the Fontanas involved (including one from an older generation who is closer to the mob ties than the younger set) but Louie has a plethora of females helping him sleuth....more

Learned? It's just fun! Yay Matt! Yay Max! yay for a novel featureing Unitarian Universalists!
I'm a long-time fan of Carol Nelson Douglas' "Midnight Louie Mysteries," which feature an amateur detective named Temple Barr and her cat, Midnight Louie. Louie has his own first-person chapters throughout the book, and has the voice of a gangster from the pages of Dashiell Hammett.
In this particular outing, Temple's aunt Kit is marrying one of the confirmed bachelor Fontana brothers (the Fontanas are the local mafiosos). The bachelor party, including Temple's former prie...more

I’m sorry, but if I found a dead body I would not call my boyfriend in to find the murderer. I thought the characters had more brains than that. That said…I knew Carole wouldn’t kill off my favorite character! Hurrah! It’s always great when a reader’s trust in an author is rewarded.

This is one of the best yet in this series. Max is still alive and starting a new adventure. The Fontana brothers get a surprise from their girlfriends that turns the bachelor party for Aldo into a murder scene. Temple is called in to try to find the murderer before they have to call the police, since her intended, Matt, and the Fontana brothers, appear to be the prime suspects. But Louie and his relatives have managed to ride along for the fun and, of course, he and they solve the crime.

If you love mysteries with cats, this series is very good.

Cute and fun…I love the cat’s (Midnight Louie) point of view. I didn’t realize this was a series until after I checked out the book, so I would suggest starting with the first book (see her website for chron. order of the books).
Midnight Louie
What a great series. This title's mystery was so-so but the story and all the characters are lots of fun. I can't wait for the next one to find out what happens next.
It'd be hard to have a favorite volume out of this series ... but this one would definitely be a contender.
Very well done.
