Blurb
Genre – Cozy Mystery / Animals
Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson often seems to gets mixed up in murder, but luckily, her very special cats always find a way to help her close a case . . .
The charming Minnesota town of Mayville Heights is hosting a music festival, and the whole place is bustling with musicians and tourists. Kathleen is looking forward to taking in some fabulous performances–and her two cats, Owen and Hercules, are looking forward to taking in some fabulous sardine crackers. But then the trio stumbles across a dead body by the river.
The victim is a close friend–who also happens to be a look-alike of a popular cabaret singer set to perform at the festival. Who could have wanted to harm this innocent girl? Was it a case of mistaken identity?
As accusations abound and suspicions swirl, Kathleen, Hercules and Owen will put their abilities–both mundane and magical–to the test, and lay down the paw.
My Review Rating – 5 Stars
A Magical Cats mystery is a series I am absolutely addicted to. The best part about the series is in the name of the series – the two cats. When you think of animals with personality, these two cats have whatever you could think of in that description. They are smart, has an opinion of themselves about everything, being typical cats, never listen to anyone and do exactly what they want to do.
But the most endearing thing about them are they would allow only Kathleen to pet them, for reasons of their own. No one else can touch them. Now I am a dog person, and don’t understand cat behavior. But this attachment is endearing even to me. The way the cats have bonded to Kathleen is what makes me keep coming back to the series.
Now, that does not mean the mystery is any less. The adventures that Kathleen is dragged into by Owen and Hercules, the cats are mysterious to say the least. This time, it is a possible case of murder by mistaken identity. Everyone believes it to be the case except for the cats. And Kathleen has no choice but to prove her cats right.
Kathleen is a wonderful character, full of spunk and fun. She is the perfect cat mom to these two detective cats. Speaking of detective, Marcus is also a wonderful detective and understands that giving Kathleen her rein is better than trying to hold her back.
The series is an all rounder in every aspect. The characters and the story line has not dropped even a bit since the first book in the series and is going on strong even on the #10 installment. I am sure Sofie Kelly is here to stay with her Magical Cats Mystery series.
