Kathleen
Paulson is the proud human owned by two very unique cats named
Hercules and Owen. Hercules and Owen possess magical abilities,
which allow one to disappear at will and the other to walk
through walls! They are also highly skilled in helping solve
crimes, including murder.
Kathleen’s
boyfriend, Marcus, is a police detective, and it seems that
Kathleen and the cats are always in the thick of things when
he is assigned to find a killer. When Leo Janes is murdered,
his son, Simon, is at the top of the suspect list, yet Kathleen
doesn’t believe her friend to be a killer. Simon’s
daughter, Mia, works with Kathleen at the library, and above
all else, Kathleen wants to help give some peace of mind to
the grieving young lady. It seems to be a tall order with
Mia’s grandfather dead and her father the suspect with
a weak alibi. Is it possible that Leo’s twin brother,
Victor, killed him? After all, Victor had an affair with Leo’s
late wife and there has been bad blood between them ever since.
Will
Kathleen’s investigation (along with Hercules and Owen
helping) cause a rift in her relationship with Marcus, or
will it bring them even closer? Will she be able to stop the
killer from acting again and clear her friend’s name?
As with
the previous books in this series, the cats are the stars
of the show for me. They are such characters. Sofie Kelly
delights me with her understanding of the feline mystique
and takes it to a whole new level by imbuing them with magical
gifts! The humans are quite interesting, too, and it is nice
to visit Kathleen and Marcus and Roma and Rebecca and Ruby
and all of the others again.
The backdrop
of a small town library is one of my favorite settings for
any book, but to have the pleasure of all of my most cherished
things in one novel makes me over-the-moon with joy! Cats,
libraries, small-towns and good people provide a case of the
warm fuzzies guaranteed to perk up even the gloomiest of moods.
Amidst
all of this wonderfulness, you’ll find a well-plotted
mystery that is sure to keep you guessing and turning pages
until you find yourself transported into Mayville Heights,
Minnesota, with an ear to ear grin on your face!
