SYNOPSIS:
         
Sarah Grayson and her trusty companion, Elvis, race to tail the right suspects in the fifth installment of the New York Times bestselling Second Chance Cat Mysteries.
Sarah Grayson owns Second Chance, a shop that sells lovingly refurbished items, in the charming town of North Harbor, Maine. But she couldn't run the store without the help of her right-hand man, Mac--or her dashing rescue cat, Elvis.
Mac's life before North Harbor has always been a little bit mysterious, but it becomes a lot more intriguing when a woman from his past shows up in town, and then turns up dead. Suspicion falls on Mac, but Sarah--and Elvis--know he can't be the killer, and they hope they can prove his innocence quick as a whisker.


Who can resist a cozy mystery with a mischievous cat as a sidekick? Not me!

Author Sofie Ryan has created a cast of eclectic characters that readers can’t help but fall in love with in her Second Chance Cat Mystery series. Her latest release, THE FAST AND THE FURRIEST, is a prime example of the well-balanced stories the author writes. The story flows at a good pace holding your attention from beginning to end. The twists and turns along the way may have you picking the wrong villain if you’re not careful.

The North Harbor (Maine) setting draws you in and the delightful residents make you wish you could visit in person. The protagonist, Sarah Grayson, is realistic and easy for readers to relate to. Sarah’s charming cat, Elvis, enhances the story and the members of Charlotte’s Angels, along with Mr. P., add another layer of intrigue.

This is the fifth installment in the series but can be read as a standalone. The author shows that second chances can be fun, mysterious, and full of adventure. Don’t wait for a second chance to read this fun story.
