A Cat in the Manger (Alice Nestleton Mystery #1)

Alice Nestleton is an actress who also takes care of cats while their owners are away.  This Christmas she has a job sitting for 8 Himalayan cat on Long Island.  She is looking forward to it. She gets to the train station to find no one waiting for her.  She makes her way to her temporary home only to find the owner dead in the cottage she was to stay in.  Not an auspicious start. 

The plot for this was just OK.  I enjoyed reading it because it was a quick read.  But the mystery seemed kind of weak.  I thought the Alice was a good character, but the plot seemed to wander a little for me.  I want to give this author a fair shake so I think I am going to try the next one in the series to see if there is an improvement.  I didn't dislike like it, but I wasn't super impressed either.  I was glad it was a quick read and had some enjoyment for me otherwise I would be done with it.
