Cat Got Your Cash by Julie Chase
A Kitty Couture Mystery #2
Lacy Marie Crocker’s whimsical pet couture has gained a following in New Orleans’s cozy Garden District, and word of mouth has traveled all the way to her favorite fashion designer, Annie Lane. Lacy’s thrilled when Annie schedules a private session at her home to discuss a companion line for her evening wear, but when Lacy arrives for the appointment, she enters the kitchen to two mewling Siamese cats–and one very dead Annie.
Lacy takes the kittens home to care for them until they can be properly claimed by Annie’s family or friends, but after a busy day of work, she returns home to find them missing. And when Lacy learns the cats are set to inherit Annie’s fortune, she begins to wonder if the killer was after the kittens all along. Now Lacy will stop at nothing to save the Siamese and find justice for Annie–if the killer doesn’t sink his claws into her first.
Luckily, Lacy has the help of handsome NOLA PD homicide detective Jack Oliver to help her catch the cat-napper before its too late in Cat Got Your Cash, the endearing second Kitty Couture mystery from Julie Chase.

But What Do They LOOK Like?
I get questions from readers all the time about what my characters look like. How do they look to me as I dream them up? If I could hand pick a cast to fill the roles of my book as a movie, who would I choose? Well, I think the fun part about reading is that you envision the exact right thing for you, but since a lot of people ask, I thought I’d show you the inspirations behind the characters. Of course, these people are real actors. They can’t be my fictional cast, but if Lacy and the gang were mistaken for a bunch of celebrities one day…it would probably be these.
Ashley Benson as Lacy Marie Crocker
Ian Somerholder as Detective Jack Oliver
Jensen Ackles as Chase Hawthorne
Susanna Thompson as Violet Conti-Crocker (Lacy’s mom)
Emma Stone as Scarlet Hawthorne (Lacy’s very best friend forever)
So there they are. The inspirational faces behind my fun and fictional cast.
Have you read the books? Who would you put in these roles?

I really want to read “Cat Got Your Cash”. I love the New Orleans Garden District and the cats involved in the storyline.
Yum Jack and Chase are characters I must meet 🙂
I want to read this book very much. I have requested the two of them at my local library but there’s a waiting list so I have to wait my turn. 🙁
I just read the first two in the series and am impatiently waiting for the 3rd! I love the choices for what the characters would look like – spot on!
