Fifth installment in the Kindle-bestselling series of humorous women sleuth mysteries featuring advertising copywriter and pet lover Leigh Koslow. Originally published in mass market paperback by NAL/Penguin, Putnam, Inc. in 2002. Large-Print Edition published by Thorndike, 2003.

"NEVER TEASE A SIAMESE is the fifth installment in this excellent series, and perhaps Ms. Claire's best yet. The characters and relationships are superior, written with heartfelt compassion and wry wit."—Romantic Times

"Edie Claire always writes an entertaining amateur sleuth novel... NEVER TEASE A SIAMESE is her best work to date."—AllReaders.com

Lilah Murchison never cared about anyone besides her prize-winning cats. Unfortunately, the feeling was mutual...

When wealthy socialite Lilah Murchison dies in an airplane crash, the locals in Pittsburgh's North Boros shed no tears. The reclusive millionaire and rumored black widow was detested by almost everyone, including her own son, who expects to share his inheritance with the throng of Siamese that inhabit his mother's dreary mansion. But when Lilah's latest will delivers the bulk of her cash to another, unidentified heir, the cat litter flies.

The only local who seems genuinely sorry about Ms. Lilah's passing is Leigh Koslow's veterinarian father, who hasn't a clue how the death of his long-term client could be connected to the bizarre series of break-ins and threats now plaguing his clinic. But daughter Leigh has a hunch that Lilah's mystery heir may be hiding right under their noses, and wishes she could prove it before the entire staff runs screaming out the door. Because someone wants the past to stay buried—even if it means adding a little extra to the grave.

"Fans will enjoy Claire's solid plot with its many twists and turns as well as the snappy dialogue of her well-rounded characters. This is a clever mystery written with a dash of humor and concluded quite logically. Altogether, a satisfying read."—ReviewingtheEvidence.com

The fifth book, Never Tease a Siamese, wraps up the original Leigh Koslow series. A long time client of the Leigh's father has died leaving millions of dollars to her cats and anonymous child and her son is not happy. When the clinic starts getting death threats Leigh worries that someone thinks her father knows who the heir is and so she sets out to clear up the matter once and for all.

The last book in the original series is not quite as strong as the others. The plot was fine, if a bit convoluted but it lacked the inclusion of all the normal characters. There were only brief appearances of the rest of the fam including Randall, Frances and Cara. I did like that Adith Rhodis (the neighbour from the first book who's married to Bud) made an appearance but I missed catching up with everyone else. Even Warren and Maura were less prominent than usual which sucked. Still it was a decent read and engaging enough. 3.5 stars, rounded up to 4. ( )

This was ok.... A siamese is brought to the vet's after eating fabric... An heiress dies & leaves her estate to the vet..... A house is broken into.... Someone tries to steal the siamese from the vet.... One of the vet tech's is getting death threats..... The family is fighting over the estate......

The vet's daughter is the "sleuth"......and is almost killed by the bad guy..and you'll never guess who it is (or at least I didn't)!

A very simplistic read....not a great mystery, borders on "cozy". ( )

Not bad; light, with a nicely clever use of misdirection and appealing characters. This is the first of Claire's work I've read; I'll look for others. ( )

An enjoyable read with characters that are both familiar and lovable. I do have trouble understanding how a self employed advertizing copy writer can spend so much time away from her job playing detective (she is a pretty good detective) and still pay her bills. I guess it helps that she finally realized that Warren is a really desirable guy and married him. Her childhood friends and family carry her. If one of her best friends wasn't a big, tough police detective that not only suspected her interference but frequently took action to insure compliance. Her background as an assistant at her father's veterinary clinic is just another excuse to help there and avoid creative copy writing work. The visual descriptions throughout the stories and the suspenseful scenes makes you want to reign in her native curiosity an be especially sympathetic to the challenges that her new husband, Warren, has to deal with. This is my forth book in the series and I'm still eager for more (just glad I'm not a long suffering husband, father, mother or friend in her life). ( )

Bertha McClintock let out an exasperated groan as she sank her stout, sixty-three-year-old body into the generously padded, oversized plane seat she had lined up below her.
