In Cat in a Zebra Zoot Suit, feline PI Midnight Louie's roommate, powerhouse PR freelancer Temple Barr, discovers a strip club opening in a nearby empty building threatens her elderly landlady's wedding chapel business. Electra Lark's troubles go supernova with a murder charge for a death that echoes a bizarre slaying decades earlier. While Temple's fiance, Matt Devine, ex-priest radio shrink, plays detective with a rough crowd getting rougher, her ex, magician-counterterrorist Max Kinsella, dodges IRA remnants in Ireland, where psychotic stalker Kathleen O'Connor claims she's found his cousin, presumed dead from a pub bombing years earlier. All the investigators' pasts draw them into shocking revelations of present peril. Temple and Louie must solve why a forgotten fifties night club, Zoot Suit Choo-Choo, is again a nexus of death and greed.

      Johnny Heller narrates the chapters voiced by Midnight Louie, feline P.I.; Cris Dukehart narrates those of his human accomplice, Temple Barr, in this is a long-running series. Heller delightfully purrs his way through the hard-boiled noir scenes as Louie moseys through mean streets with his in-built shivs at the ready. Dukehart is a warm contrast as she sets out all the human detail. A strip club is to be built near Temple's landlady's wedding chapel, and unsavory characters are behind the scenes. In the meantime, Barr also has her own wedding to plan. Series followers will enjoy an update on old favorites, but those new to the series should start with the earlier audiobooks.

      Douglas’s 27th Midnight Louie mystery (after 2014’s Cat in a Yellow Spotlight) is strictly for the faithful. Louie, a “twenty-pound alley cat who thinks he’s Sam Spade,” and Temple Barr, the public relations freelancer with whom he lives in Las Vegas, Nev., lead lives that are typically full of “danger, angst, and confusion.” Temple escapes unscathed after an intruder attacks her in her apartment, but the threats continue as she ends up involved in investigating a bizarre murder. Someone killed Cliff Effinger, the stepfather of Temple’s ex-priest fiancé, Matt, and tied Cliff’s corpse to the figurehead of a pirate ship attraction on the Vegas Strip. Louie and “streetwise minx” Miss Midnight Louise, his feline partner in Midnight Investigations, Inc., swing into action. The humor will mainly appeal to those who chuckle when Louie refers to a “pawcity” of evidence or signs a note “Very best fishes.”
