Love + Murder

Résumé du livre

She had been named Love and he, Murder, from a fit of inspiration as ill-considered as it was prophetic. Murder always hated it-he wasn't a monster, nor Love an innocent. As they stared at the dumpster in the faceless alley that had either saved or condemned them-he wasn't sure which-he knew it was true, cats only know two things: love and murder.A noir and literary work of adult animal fiction, Love & Murder opens with its eponymous bickering sibling house cats.Spoiled and comfortable Love and Murder enjoy the affections of their elderly mistress, Lady, while marauding through the neighborhood at every opportunity. Young favorites of the senior cats in their clowder, their free rein has engendered a precarious sense of entitlement and complacency. When their squabbling incurs the ire of a notorious local clowder, they are thrust into the purview of the infamous and desperate ferret, Remy the Blond, who ushers them into an underworld they'd refused to believe existed.Steeped in style and fast-paced wit, Love & Murder is the story of two spoiled house cats who thought they had everything and now must learn to live with nothing. A genre that rips out our hearts and lays bare our souls, noir is what happens when life goes wrong. A thrilling spiral of haunting loss, heartbreak, and the resilience that propels us to laugh in the face of it all, Love & Murder is noir at its best-it's kitty noir.
