Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I was born in London and spent my teenaged years in Hertfordshire where I spent large amounts of time reading novels, watching day time television programmes which seemed to involve middle-class women visiting each other's houses, and avoiding school. Failing to gain any qualifications in Science whatsoever, the dream of being a forensic scientist collided with reality when a careers teacher suggested that I might like to work in a department store. I don't think she meant Harrods. Later studying Law, I decided to teach rather than go into practice and spent many years working as a college lecturer teaching mainly Criminal Law to adults and young people.

One of the key protagonists in Street Cat Blues is a rescue cat called Aubrey. I was asked recently whether there was a real Aubrey and, if so, how he had come to be named. The answer is yes, there was a real Aubrey and he was given his name because my husband, John, was reading John Aubrey’s Brief Lives at the time. Aubrey always said he was grateful not to have been called Brief.

Aubrey came from a rescue centre and, just like his namesake in the book, was an inmate for longer than any of the other cats. He had been found wandering the streets and picked up by a helpful stranger, although once we got to know him we suspected that he was found before he was lost. Wherever he had been, he had certainly been well looked after. From the very first, he was affectionate and loving although it would be true to say that he never missed a food opportunity. The idea for the book came from John observing one day after watching Aubrey strolling about the garden, 'that cat always looks as though he's got a bit of admin to sort out'. Or, possibly, a crime to solve.

I live on the south coast with my husband John and cat Archie. When not writing, I enjoy crosswords, reading crime fiction, walking by the sea, and drinking wine. Not necessarily in that order.

    Interesting! I enjoyed this mystery very much! The series so far has been a immensely delightful read. I like all the characters, especially the feline characters. I hope in the next book we find out what happened to Eric, the cat.

    5. Christmas Cat Blues (Cat Noir) December 7, 2022. New Release

    Christmas Cat Blues (Cat Noir) is about The Goodman family, Jeremy, Molly, Carlos, Aubrey, and Vincent. The family member that was more around the danger was Jeremy at the dinner table with the trustees and managers sat at top tables and all the office staff at the bottom. Colleagues of Jeremy started to collapse. And Aubrey and Vincent meet a new character name Eric. This story is family, four-legged family mystery solvers. I am captivated, intrigued, entertained, and engrossed with the cat noir series.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2022
    I enjoyed reading this cozy mystery. This is a great book that I found hard to put down. It is a fast paced book that brings the Christmas spirit and mystery into one entertaining book. This is a hard to put down book that has connectable characters that bring the story to life. They made me want to come back for more. They have great growth throughout and just made the book easy to read. This is a book you don't want to miss. I highly recommend this book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoy this purrfect winter remedy with hidden depths
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2023

    What I really enjoyed about 'Christmas Cat Blues' apart from the engaging cats - Aubrey, Vincent, and new addition, Eric - is the beautiful writing. Alison O'Leary creates a wonderful setting and a host of fascinating characters - the resident Goodman family and a cast of suspects and the occasional victim - wrapped up in an intriguing mystery. This is a slow burner of a tale that sucks the reader in and keeps them hooked to the very last word. With a deft touch, the writer strips away the layers of the plot showing us real characters and addressing social issues in such a way as to not intrude on the reader's enjoyment. I do hope Alison O'Leary revisits the Goodmans and The Foundation. And is it wrong that I was rooting for the baddies? Some of them anyway. I definitely want more.

    Enjoyed this very much, didn't want to put it down. A very well written novel, not always a given these days. The characters are a joy, people and cats alike. I would definitely recommend this book and the previous four in the series, they all work as stand alone novel but you will want to know what happens to the characters.
