Book 5, 2016
Jan. 15th, 2016 11:51 pmI spent two evenings reading an ebook novella, Depawsit Slip by Nancy C Davis. It is the first installment in the "Vanessa Abbot" cozy cat mystery series.
Vanessa owns and runs the Cat Protection League, which basically means she's a glorified crazy cat lady. When taking her shop's deposit to the bank one afternoon, she and a group of townsfolk are distracted by an accident outside. Inside, one of the observers drops dead at the others' feet with a knife sticking out of his back. Now that Vanessa is a suspect, she wants to clear her name and figure out who dunnit.
The writing wasn't bad...FOR A TWELVE YEAR-OLD. I got this ebook for free, which is the only good thing I have to say about it. Had I paid for this dreck, I would have been appalled. What was wrong with it? Let's see...
( Rant, ahoy! )
That's just what I can recall off-hand. I rolled my eyes all through this. Blah. I even had trouble coming up with a favorite line, BECAUSE THERE WERE NONE.
Favorite line: I'm just a weird old cat lady. True, that.
