Black Cat Crossing by Kay Finch
3.0
I laced my fingers, cracked my knuckles, and stared at the few words in my laptop screen.
Sabrina has moved to Lavender, Texas to help her Aunt Rowena with her vacation rentals. Aunt Rowe has recently fallen and broken her leg preventing her from maintaining her cottages. Sabrina is working on her first novel and her fond memories of the area seem to be the perfect place for her to work. The situation becomes tense when Rowe's cousin Bobby Joe appears making claims on the family money. When he turns up dead on Rowe's property, she is the prime suspect.
Sabrina catches glimpses of a black cat around town that some townspeople consider bad luck. She eventually lures him into her cottage and names him Hitchcock. He proves to be instrumental in catching the killer.
A decades old death becomes entwined with the current murder which creates danger for Sabrina.
This was a good introduction to the series. I always love a series with a cat! Some of Hitchcock's antics bring to mind Owen and Hercules from the Magical Cat series ([a:Sofie Kelly|4161210|Sofie Kelly|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1316180333p2/4161210.jpg]). The characters are well thought out and the mystery was good. I did not pick the killer until just before it was revealed to Sabrina.
I look forward to reading the next book.
