"LOVE this series. It never gets old and I don't like sci-fi/fantasy. this has bits and pieces that butt up against those genres yet don't cross the line. wonderful books."
— Michele (4 out of 5 stars)
" These speaking cat books are entertaining tales. This is only the 2nd in the series I've read, and I do think that I want to go back to read some of the earlier selections to really find out some of the backstory. "
— Maryann, 12/18/2013" I love the cats but in a way I wish I didn't know who the "bad guy" was until closer to the end of the book. "
— Marilyn, 12/14/2013" Always a great, entertaining read! "
— Holly, 11/29/2013" Poor Kit! But everthing turns out okay. "
— Malia, 6/16/2013" This isn't meant to be a bad review..these are simple books,infused with warmth and love among the human and feline protagonists. You could make a drinking game of the authors use of "scraggly," and generally could use tighter editing. "
— Bonnie, 6/10/2013" I really, really tried to like this book - in fact, the entire series. I'm sorry, I love cats and mysteries but this is just so...... .......well, let me just say, not my taste. Obviously many people do not agree and love reading them, so God Bless and enjoy. As for me, never again. "
— Anita, 4/14/2013" Came close to giving this a 5 star rating. I really like this series and this was one of the best. "
— Linda, 3/30/2013" I enjoy losing myself in the small California town with the talking cats. This one did not feature Jo Gray and Dulcie. Kit was the star of this mystery, which, of course, all came out good in the end. "
— Robin, 2/18/2013" Delightful continuation of the exploits of feline P.I. Joe Grey, his four-legged cohorts, and the humans they watch over. Loved it! "
