Book 39, 2017
Feb. 26th, 2017 02:04 pmI've been so busy that I haven't had time to post about the book I finished on Thursday. Sheesh.
The book was Catch as Cat Can, which is part of author Claire Donally's "Sunny and Shadow" mystery series.
A shop selling fresh fish has opened next door to the small tourist/travel office where Sunny works. Her cat Shadow is sufficiently intrigued that he hitchhikes to town with Sunny a few times to mooch fresh fish from the owner, Neil Garret. When someone is murdered in Neil's store, Sunny learns that he's been in a witness protection program, and now the Feds are in town, and Sunny's boyfriend, Chief Investigator Will Price, is also on the case. Neil's alibi is shaky, and he becomes a suspect, but Sunny doesn't believe he'd harm anyone. Her old, investigative journalist instincts kick in, and she soon becomes embroiled in the mystery.
Good story, although the author didn't provide any information to allow me to connect the dots until quite late in the story. Boo on that!
Favorite line: Sooner or later, you'll have to go to sleep. And then, when you least expect it, I'll jump on you.
That was the "thoughts" of Shadow, the cat!
Four stars:
****
