Nine Lifelines

Joyce Ann Brown brings back landlady Beth & her clue-sniffing cat in the third book of her Psycho Cat series.A ghoulish, cranky elevator, condo break-ins, and her renter not paying on time. Beth, the klutzy landlady, and her husband, Arnie, have retired to the building where Beth's last rental unit is located. Have they made a mistake?Beth vowed to do no more sleuthing, but when her tenant is arrested for the murder of the Peruvian neighbor who fell (was pushed?) from the tenth-story balcony, the Ukrainian's French wife is left without support, and the dead neighbor's grandchildren are left with only their wheelchair-ridden grandmother to care for them, Beth has to do something. Is Sylvester providing clues with his psycho-cat behavior? Is the renter actually the killer? Do the break-ins and elevator problem have anything to do with the murder? Even Arnie, who has always told Beth to keep her nose out of police business, gets involved-for the sake of the children.
