Finished the first two books in Leann Sweeney's "Cats in Trouble" series, and had to pick up book three when I saw it at the bookstore over the weekend. This is a fun series, especially if you love cats as I do.
“Help us. Help her,” Ritaestelle said. She looked down into the water.
(pg 65)
The cats—particularly Isis in this book—lend a bit of levity to some of the more serious content. Though it’s a bit longer, I offer the following as an example. Poor Isis—she does get into quite a few scrapes book.
I walked slowly toward her soft meows. But when I found her, I had to cover my mouth to keep from breaking into laughter. The goddess was surely embarrassed by her predicament, and I didn’t want to make her feel worse.
Isis had climbed into a basket… It was dark-colored wicker with a handle—and much too small for her. And yet she’d managed to squeeze into it and now obviously couldn’t get out.

About the Book:
The Cat, the Lady and the Liar (book 3 of series)
by Leann Sweeney
When cat quilter Julian Hart tracks down the owner of a gorgeous stray cat, the trail leads her to none other than fabulously wealthy, undeniably quirky Ritaestelle Longworth. The gossips in town are questioning Ritaestelle’s sanity, and the high-society grande dame isn’t helping matters with her wild accusations that someone is drugging her to keep her away from her beloved cat.
Before Jillian can get to the bottom of Ritaestelle’s charges, a body turns up in the lake behind her house—and her cat Chablis discovers Ritaestelle standing nearby. Can Jillian’s three wise cats aid her in solving a mystery with roots that are decades old? Jillian knows from experience that to find the purr-petrator, she’ll have to prick up her ears and follow the paw prints straight to a killer…

This sounds interesting. The first quote reminded me of the movie Jerry Maguire help me help you help me. hehe. Here's my Teaser.
Nice. I like how you include a synopsis to kind of contextualize the teaser somewhat. I know a lot of cat-lovers who might have fun with this book.
Here's my TT:

Aww that's so cute
I'm not sure I could read this one, though it looks great, because of the physcological hold my allergy to cats has taken. Great tease though! Here's ours: http://bookishlybloggers.blogspot.com/2011/10/teaser-tuesday-10-18.html
This made me laugh. I can so see it! Here's mine, if you'd like to take a peek.
Sidne: Thanks, it was a fun read. I finished it early this morning.
Library Snake: It was a cute cozy mystery. The cats are especially fun and lovable.
Boriquaz: Though I love that movie, I can honestly say it's not a connection I made, lol.
Thanks, Sarah! *g*
Bookish: Aw, but that's the great thing about literary cats (much as I love the real thing): you don't have to feed, pet, or pick up after them. *g*
harsadpassion: Thank you, I was hoping people would get as much of a kick out of that second quote as I did. I sooo know cats like that. :)
Myra: Thanks, I always try to include the back cover synopsis so people can get get more of an idea of what a book is about. I know I appreciate it when others include it, too. :)
Sounds like a fun series! Thanks for visiting my teaser :)
Thanks, Jenny!
