This book hits a lot of current topics---Beth and her husband Arnie have downsized from a house into a condo. The elevator is acting strange--they never see their neighbors and the rest of the building is enjoying watching Beth wake Sylvester on his leash! There have been break-ins where only tiny items have gone missing--Sylvester is very interested in these doors!
The man who lives on their floor falls from his balcony--or was he pushed? The children from that condo are finally convinced they can come out and have fun with Beth's grand children--but something is wrong with their grandmother.
Have no fear--everything comes out perfectly in the end!!
About the Book: (from Amazon)
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 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.
