If you enjoy crime novels featuring cats (and dogs), and like the sort of books where part of the story is told by at least one animal then this is for you. Both animals and the vicar take turns telling the story, so the reader has the benefit of three viewpoints. These viewpoints overlap rather a lot, resulting in a fair bit of repetition. Also, it is established fairly early on that the cat and dog don’t think much of each other, something reiterated rather constantly. There is quite a lot to enjoy in here notwithstanding, drawing on all those classic whodunits about vicars in villages and their other intriguing denizens, but the triple viewpoints (with many asides) rather slows down the action.
