Kitty Confidential
by Molly Fitz
Honestly this was a low stakes read and I needed it. It was funny at times and it made me laugh some too. I thought this was an interesting idea in the cozy mystery genre. Have a woman have the ability to speak to a cat who then helps her solve murders. The main reason why I gave this 4 stars is that the book runs out of steam towards the end. I don't know if Fitz didn't know how to end things or what. But I thought the killer came out of nowhere and the over explanations on the mysterious going ons with some of the other characters also came out of nowhere.
"Kitty Confidential" follows Angie, a 20 something paralegal unclear on what she wants to do with her life. When Angie is asked to make some coffee, a fluke accident knocks her out and when she awakens she is able to hear a cat that is in the room speak/talk. The cat is named Octavius Maxwell Ricardo Edmund Frederick Fulton, or as Angie calls him Octo-Cat. Octo-Cat claims his previous owner was murdered and enlists Angie to help him prove it. The two unlikely duo then end up living together and trying their best to solve the murder.
Look you guys, this book features a talking cat who has shade for days. I liked it and laughed a lot. Any scenes with Octo-Cat talking down to Angie were delightful. But I also liked how Fitz captures his vulnerability with Angie and how he wants to be petted by her and told what a good boy he is LOL.
I don't think any characters were developed that well besides Angie and Octo-Cat. Which is okay in my mind. This is the first book in apparently a 16 book series. The writing was sharp when Angie and Octo-Cat were interacting, but Angie's investigating was pretty poorly done I thought. Definitely an amateur sleuth here. The flow was okay almost towards the end and like I said above things just read as rushed to me.
The ending of what happens to Octo-Cat and Angie of course should not be a surprise cause this is the first book in a 16 book series.
I read this book for the "Cozy Mystery" square.
