chez_jaeIt's taken me this long to knock back my first book of the year, because the book I chose to start reading has not grabbed my attention. So yesterday, I started reading Pouncing on Murder, which is part of author Laurie Cass' "Bookmobile Cat" mystery series.
In addition to her duties as library administrator and bookmobile operator, Minnie has now been tasked with putting together the library's first-ever book fair. As if that isn't enough on her plate, she learns that a gruff neighbor has died, and that another man doesn't think it was an accident. When the second man is almost run down, Minnie begins to believe him. In the meantime, her long-distance relationship with Tucker is fizzling, leaving Minnie to wonder if it's worth it.
As her questions lead to unexpected answers, Minnie finds herself in danger. Worst of all, however, is that she may have endangered her beloved cat Eddie.
This was an enjoyable installment. There was a lot going on, which kept the pages turning. I liked reading about Minnie and the regular cast, as well as meeting new characters.
Favorite line: "...I know that feline innocence is an oxymoron. There's no such thing."
