SYNOPSIS:

In this charming mystery from the bestselling author of Paws and Effect, two magical cats have powers of detection that prove indispensable to librarian Kathleen Paulson…
 

With a well-placed paw on a keyboard or a pointed stare, Kathleen’s two cats, Hercules and Owen, have helped her to solve cases in the past—so she has learned to trust their instincts. But she will need to rely on them more than ever when a twenty-year-old scandal leads to murder…

The arrival of the Janes brothers has the little town of Mayville Heights buzzing. Everyone of a certain age remembers when Victor had an affair with Leo’s wife, who then died in a car accident.

Now it seems the brothers are trying to reconcile, until Kathleen finds Leo dead. The police set their sights on Leo’s son and Kathleen’s good friend Simon, who doesn’t have much of an alibi. To prove her friend innocent, Kathleen will have to dig deep into the town's history—and into her sardine cracker supply, because Owen and Hercules don't work for free...

The allure of a library and two mysterious and magical cats will quickly draw readers into A TALE OF TWO KITTIES.

Author Sofie Kelly has created a mesmerizing atmosphere in the form of Mayville Heights with its quaint shops and zany residents. Protagonist Kathleen Paulson is a delight and her two mischievous cats, Hercules and Owen, are a fun addition.

The story moves at a good pace and holds your interest from beginning to end. The tantalizing mystery will keep you on your toes as you wonder what to expect next from the darling cat duo. The small-town setting enhances the story.

Returning fans of the series will enjoy catching up with Kathleen and the gang. New readers won’t be left in the dark if this is their first visit to Mayville Heights.

This is an amusing and fascinating murder mystery that will be hard to put down, plus you get a Magical Cats Mysteries short story, THE CAT BURGLAR, as the end.
