Kijewski never disappoints...
3 April 1997
Format:Paperback
Karen Kijewski never fails to entertain me with gutsy, bold characters confronting too-true situations. Patricia Cornwell she is not, but an interesting read nonetheless. Kat Colorado's spunk keeps me coming back for more, eagerly searching for Kat's latest 'project', anxiously awaiting the day when all ends well, and of course, it never does. 'Alley Cat Blues' is set in the familiar stomping grounds of Kat and her sometimes boyfriend, Hank. While Hank, a gritty but soft-hearted cop,is preoccupied with a Las Vegas skirt and a series of murders, Kat desperately tries solve her own hit-and-run case,assist Hank, and salvage their relationship. One or two gaps in the story line, but no major complaints. A definite 'recommend' for mystery lovers, a 'must' for Kijewski fans

Alley Kat Blues... a good read
16 Jun 2005
Format:Hardcover
Karen Kijewski is a marvelous author! I've read half of her books and will continue to finish up her Kat Colorado series. Although her portrayal of the Mormon family in this book is extreme and does not reflect all Mormons, obviously, I was intrigued by the accurate portrayal of the victim's struggle between a strict religious upbringing and a more liberal adult acknowledgment of gray areas in many decisions. In this aspect, Kijewski's work is very accurate, and very intriguing. There still are polygamists (though the Mormon church does not associate themselves with them). And, Mormons have a hard time talking about sexual abuse/rape, for sure. If nothing else, read the book for a good mystery, because it is.

One of the better books in the series
23 April 2002
Format:Paperback
This was a hard-to-put-down book, exploring both the professional and personal sides of Kat's life. She must solve a heinous murder and resolve a roadblock in her relationship with her cop lover, Hank. Great characters in a compelling story. From other reviews that seemed to concentrate on the Mormon aspects of the plot, it appears that the word went out to Mormons to disparage the book, unfairly so, I believe. "Alley Kat Blues" is a fine addition to a series that gets better with every book. If you like gutsy female PIs and a gripping read, this book's for you.
