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.
