Publisher Description
New York Times bestselling author Carolyn Hart presents the story of a woman with a curious ability that drops her headfirst into a world of intrigue and murder. Since her fiancé’s death, Nela Farley has been plagued by a sixth sense: She understands the thoughts of cats. In desperate need of a distraction, Nela agrees to substitute for her sister, Chloe, at her job for a charitable foundation. Chloe has even arranged a place for her sister to stay. But when Nela encounters the previous tenant’s cat, she gets a flash of thought: “...dead and gone...She loved me...skateboard on the step...” Nela wants to ignore what the cat saw, but the idea that the death of former tenant Marian Grant wasn’t an accident is something she can’t ignore. And when a detective becomes suspicious of Nela’s sister and a second murder occurs, Nela realizes she’ll have to make the most of her unwanted ability before she meets her own untimely end...

"This was a good mystery with a little bit of weird. The heroine can hear the thoughts of cats around her. She must solve a mystery without letting anyone know it was the cat who gave her the clues. Really fast read and enjoyable from start to finish."
— Susan (5 out of 5 stars)

What the Cat Saw Listener Reviews

" I really, really enjoyed this book and the character reminded me of a young Henrie O., albeit one with a special talent. Kudos for that! I have to say this book left me wanting more and I hope the author writes a sequel or 10. "

" Great book! Hope to see more of Nela and Jugs! "
— Cindi, 1/29/2014 -
" Good book. Nicely written mystery. "
— Jeanine, 1/28/2014 -
" Not usually a fan of animal mysteries, but in this case the cat doesn't actually talk. Try it. "
— Melissa, 1/27/2014 -
" Interesting book, or at least her writing voice. If it were going to be made into a movie I'd say it should be black and white and directed by someone with a perspective like Hitchcock's. I wanted to see more of Jugs the cat.....and that's just me and loving to see cats in books. "
— Regan, 12/3/2013 -
" I enjoyed this. It did take me a bit to get into it but as I worked my way through it, I began to really enjoy this. Would like to see what would happen with a sequel. "
— Trisha, 11/30/2013 -
" Some silly premises, but an enjoyable read. Made me want to get a cat more than the cat information books did. "
— Ladymath, 11/23/2013 -
" Pretty tightly-woven, nicely done! It says #1 in a series, but since this book is so new, there aren't any others around just yet. I liked it--I can't wait to see the next one! "

" First book in this new series featuring Nela Farley. It was a fun, quick read and I look forward to more of this character. It was the first book I've read by Carolyn Hart--will have to try more of her books. "
— Cathy, 11/2/2013 -
" This was an o.k. read - didn't enjoy as much as the Henry O. stories. "
— Michael, 8/11/2013 -
" The story moved along well but the premise was a little unbelievable and I guessed "who done it" in the first chapter. "
— J.D.R., 6/5/2013 -
" It is good but much slower paced than her other mysteries. "
— Misty, 4/24/2013 -
" Better than I expected. Psychic stuff very light. Still huge fluff, sort of Phyllis Whitney-like, but not bad. "
— Patricia, 4/1/2013 -
" I really wanted to like this book, but I just could not get into it. I did try. Half way through I gave up. "
— Peggy, 12/16/2012 -
" Fun mystery. This is a stand alone book for Carolyn Hart. I wonder if she's going to make a series out of it. I enjoy her other series. "
— E, 11/25/2012 -
" Big fan of this writer as she always finds a new plot line to capture my imagination. Liked her use of cat in story because did not take away from main plot. Creative mystery with activity related to story line. "
