When three sisters come together, it's murder
Two sisters living in the greater Seattle area and one sister from Chicago teamed up to write the Cat DeLuca Mysteries (Published by Poisoned Pen Press).
The debut mystery, "Liar, Liar" introduced Cat DeLuca and her Pants On Fire Detective Agency. Liar, Liar received rave reviews and two inquiries for movie rights.
Larsen’s engaging second mystery, "Sticks and Stones" is available February 2012. Publishers Weekly states, "Janet Evanovich fans will relate to the humor and crazy characters, but under the fun is a well-crafted plot with all the elements of a classic whodunit." (Reviewed on 11/14/2011)
The Library Journal writes: Cat DeLuca is smart and charming…and is sure to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum.
Storey Book Reviews: If you like to laugh you will love this book…you won’t be disappointed.

In Larsen’s engaging second mystery featuring Chicago PI Caterina “Cat” DeLuca (after 2010’s Liar, Liar), Cat goes after Walter Jones, Cleo Jones’s no-good ex, who’s stolen Cleo’s money as well as her Tibetan terrier, Beau.
Cat, trailed by a furious Cleo, finds Walter’s bloody body, still warm, in his suburban house, plus a bag of money and Beau. With perfect timing, the police show up and arrest Cleo—who’s threatened Walter loudly and publicly—for murder.
Determined to prove Cleo innocent, Cat turns for help to a number of friends, notably Chance Savino, her FBI agent lover, while evading the police to track suspects and hiding Cleo, after she’s released on bail, and Beau in her home. It’s a plus that Cleo is a great cook.
Happy reading!
