Carole Nelson Douglas Catnap: A Midnight Louie Mystery (Midnight Louie Mysteries)
Forge Books 19930301 0812516826 / 9780812516821 MM Very Good
0812516826 0812516826 From Library Journal In the first of a projected series, Douglas enters the feline-as-protagonist subgenre. Midnight Louie, whose cat-memoirs bracket the discovery of a murdered book publisher at the American Booksellers Association meeting, "helps" public relations person Temple Barr discover the murderer's identity. Las Vegas provides a slightly surreal backdrop for Temple's smooth friends and sly acquaintances, who alternately provide assistance or muck things up. Midnight Louie's viewpoint adds humor (the Baker & Taylor cats have Scottish accents) without straining the reader's credibility too much, so share this with Braun fans and other librarians. Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Kirkus Reviews Why would the killer of detestable publisher Chester Royal, after dispatching him with a knitting needle at the American Booksellers' convention in Las Vegas, tag him with a note reading ``STET,'' and then, for good measure, kidnap a pair of cats, the corporate mascots of rival imprint Baker & Taylor? Clearly no-nonsense Lt. R. C. Molina, one unsympathetic female, isn't interested, so it's up to PR frontwoman Temple Barr, still smarting from the recent disappearance of her magician lover, to dig up the motive from Chester's client/victims and old friends (ha)--aided at crucial moments by Midnight Louie, a big black tomcat who fancies himself another Philip Marlowe but who writes (yes, those interpolated chapters are written in his voice) like a pulp novelist who's been force-fed a dictionary. Reassuringly predictable feminine flutters and detection (``I didn't expect to be found out,'' the killer obligingly announces on being unmasked)--but Midnight Louie adds a fatal dose of the cutes. Douglas (Good Night, Irene, 1991, etc.) is already at work on a sequel that should appeal to cats everywhere. -- Copyright ?1992, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Carole Nelson Douglas Cup of Clay (Taliswoman, Bk 1)
Tor Books 1994 0812512480 / 9780812512489 Paperback Good
0812512480 0812512480 From Publishers Weekly A Minnesota newspaper reporter suddenly finds herself in the devastated world of Veil, where water is frequently poisonous and children are cast out because of mutations (or birth-banes) in this ecologically oriented fantasy. Alison Carver rescues five ragged, feral children, who call themselves the Littlelost, from a band of depraved miners. Soon afterward, she encounters a young man named Rowan, who informs her that Veil is a world of magic that has fallen on hard times because the earth has been poisoned. Rowan is on his way to a music competition to contend for the Cup of Earth, which has properties that can restore his blighted land of Desmeyne. When Alison enters the contest and wins the cup, Rowan is devastated, particularly when she reveals she is a woman; in sexist Veil females are highly sheltered and considered intellectually inferior. Although Alison agrees to use the powers of the Cup to aid Desmeyne, many barriers remain, including the prejudice of Rowan's people against Alison and the Littlelost. A spirited heroine, Alison aids the hero in his first quest and then bows out--for the time being only, one presumes, since this is the first of a projected trilogy by Douglas ( Good Night, Mr. Holmes ). Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From Library Journal A Minneapolis reporter discovers that her family's island retreat has become a gateway to another world in this first novel of a series set in the troubled land of Veil. Douglas (the "Sword and Circlet" trilogy) treads the borderline between fantasy and allegory as her modern-world heroine faces the forces of evil in the all-too-familiar guises of environmental pollution and chronic child abuse. Strong characterizations and polished writing make this a recommended title for most fantasy collections.
