Mysteries by Louise Clark

9 Lives Cozy Mystery Series

The series begins with the story of Christy Jamieson—young mother, abandoned wife—as she searches for the truth behind her husband’s disappearance. In the process, she discovers that family has a whole new meaning and love can come from the least expected places. As she navigates her new life, Christy finds herself pulled into mysteries that test her, and the relationships she is developing.

All the published stories (books 1 through 6) are available now in e formats and in both trade paper and hardcover print formats.

Book 8, If the Cat’s Away is being written and is now in pre-sale. I expect it to be available in early 2023.

BOOK 1: The Cat Came Back – The story of Christy Jamieson’s search for her missing husband, Frank. Did he really embezzled his trust fund, sell their Vancouver mansion, and run off with a socialite? She needs crack reporter Quinn Armstrong’s help to find out.

BOOK 2: The Cat’s Paw – Now a single mom, Christy is shocked when Frank’s wealthy Aunt Ellen arrives unexpectedly, suitcase in-hand. Ellen’s home has become a crime scene and she intends to stay with Christy. No one is happy, but the most furious member of the Jamieson household is Stormy the Cat.

BOOK 3: Cat Got Your Tongue When the rock concert Christy and Quinn are enjoying ends in a murder, the sleuthing couple are pulled into the case. Hot on the trail of a primary suspect, they discover the band’s manager has also been found dead. Are the two murders connected, or are there two killers? Unfortunately, the only eye-witness—Stormy the Cat—is holding his tongue.

A Recipe for Trouble

Now available as a standalone mystery romance, A Recipe for Trouble  is set in Vancouver, British Columbia inside a college with an award-winning culinary program.

Angelina Redding is the ultimate event planner. If things go wrong at her events, she fixes them. Or her assistant Molly does. Good thing too, because the cooking contest she’s organizing has just turned deadly.

Although not part of the 9 Lives series, A Recipe for Trouble is loosely linked to it through book 6, Cat in the Limelight. Some of the characters from Trouble appear in Limelight and the college is the site of key scenes in Limelight. A Recipe for Trouble was previously published on the Radish platform, but is now available as a full novel in e-format.
