Jillian Hart’s
almost stepson Finn has fallen in love with a cat. By the
time they arrive at Mercy Animal Sanctuary to adopt the cat,
the cat has escaped and can’t be found. Said cat turns
up at Ed’s Swap Shop in a couch that Ed has recently
picked up. Jillian, who has three cats of her own, goes along
with Finn to rescue the cat. Jillian should be preparing for
her upcoming wedding to Finn's dad Tom. The cat is freed from
the couch and brings a locket with it. The locket is covered
in a sticky substance that turns out to be blood. Deputy Candace
is called and she treats the area like a crime scene. So we
have a crime scene with no body. Jillian had better be careful
or she might be late to her own wedding.
Things to ponder: Who owns the locket? Will
Deputy Candace find a match for the blood? Will Jillian and
Tom’s wedding go off without a hitch?
This
new addition to the Cats in Trouble Series hits a home run
for me. There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you turning
those pages. The story moves along at a great pace and will
keep cozy mystery lovers happily reading to find out whodunit.
Jillian always has time for her friends and cats that might
need help. It is such a treat to read this delightful series.
So, if you like your mystery filled with a real “cat”
burglar, then you should be reading The Cat, The Sneak
and the Secret.
