Aging actress Dame Cecile Savoy is on the way to a Brighton taxidermist's shop, accompanied by her friends Trixie and Evangeline-and her recently departed Pekingese. But when they arrive, they discover a dead body, a spreading fire, and a helpless Japanese bobtail cat in a cage. After rescuing the endangered kitty, aka Cho-Cho-San, Trixie and Evangeline now have another heroic task to attempt: finding out who's responsible, and what sort of person would bring a live cat to a place like that. The Cat Who Wasn't a Dog is the 6th book in the Trixie Dolan & Evangeline Sinclair Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
