Interview with Lorraine Evanoff, Author of Walking the Cat (A Louise Moscow Novel Book 4)

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Walking the Cat (A Louise Moscow Novel Book 4)?

My spy thriller series’ title character, Louise Moscow, is a feisty forensic analyst who solves international financial crimes. After years of solving “banker’s grave” mysteries – real life murders of prominent international bankers – she is now retired. In book #4 of the series, I wanted to give Louise Moscow the opportunity to indulge in one of her passions, based on one of my own life passions, fashion. What would it be like to have an all-access pass to Paris Fashion Week? What if a murder occurred during Fashion Week? Would Louise Moscow be able to say no to anyone who needed her help solving the case?

If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Walking the Cat (A Louise Moscow Novel Book 4), what would they be?

“Ramble On” by Led Zeppelin, “Ruby Tuesday” by The Rolling Stones, “I Was Brought to My Senses” by Sting, “So What’cha Want” by The Beastie Boys, “Ocean Eyes” by Billie Eilish, “Vogue” by Madonna, “Same Guy” by Jack Harlow, “No More Drama” by Mary J. Blige, “Cause We Ended As Lovers” by Jeff Beck, “Bluesette” by Toots Thielemans, “The Captain of My Heart” by Double, “Year of the Cat” by Al Stewart, “Knocks Me Off My Feet” by Stevie Wonder, “Afternoon” by Pat Metheny, “True” by Spandau Ballet, “West End Girls” by Pet Shop Boys, “Kiss Of Life” by Sade, and “Breathe Me” by Sia,
