Praise for Curiosity Killed the Cat Sitter
 
"A knock-out read. Clement offers vivid characters, a super plot, and a sense of place so real you can almost feel the sand between your toes. For anyone who loves mysteries, animals, or just plain great writing, this is a book to savor."

"A new star in the 'mysteries with animals' firmament . . . May there be many more installments."
