Midnight Louie and Temple Barr

a cozy mystery series with a sleuthing cat by Carol Nelson Douglas

I admit, I bought and bought but didn't finish reading this series. Book 20 is Cat in a Sapphire Slipper and came out in 2008. It has been so long that I'm not sure where I left off reading so I'm guessing that I could start over! Let's make a challenge out of it! Twenty books in twelve months? Eighteen?
