3.5 stars. I enjoyed the character development and the progression of the storyline. The mystery part felt a little recycled from gotchas from earlier in the series and Scooby Doo type antics. Some of the pet related suspense hit a little close to home for me. That was written in a way that to some might seem extreme but I found it very relatable.

This book was enjoyable, it just felt like the author had a deadline and a little less creative flow. Its a pleasant addition to this series of cozy mysteries.

This book was published in the year that I was born, and it was very obvious. It was dated and it probably wasn't all that interesting at the time of publication either. I did enjoy all the humor that was scattered throughout and it made me giggle a few times. I have a few other books in this series on my shelf that I will read, though I won't go out of my way to read the whole series.

I don't remember ever reading this book before! I'm going through the "Cat Who..." series in order, and it's really fun to see the characters and locale progress over time. the series manages to be extremely cozy - comforting descriptions of meals, décor, Qwill writing an article, cat antics - but the mysteries are very dark. I love reading this series.

Something about the writing in this one bothered me.

I thought I was spacing these out pretty well, but maybe I am re-listening to them too close together. This was OK, but it annoyed me more than it should have. I'm so torn....continue or take a break??

2. A legit mystery, but I don’t feel like she gave us enough clues to figure it out.


George Guidall was okay narrating. It felt like he was reading slower than usual, though.
