Book 26, 2014

This afternoon, I finished reading The Cat, the Quilt and the Corpse by Leann Sweeney. It's the first book in her "Cats in Trouble" series.

The main character, Jillian Hart, is recently widowed. She takes comfort in her three rescue cats and in her business of creating and selling quilts for cats. When Jillian's house is broken into, one of her cats turns up missing. She doesn't know whether he was stolen or simply escaped. Jillian's search for her missing cat leads her to discover the body of an eccentric man, whom she suspected of having something to do with the break-in.

While the police investigate various leads, Jillian is convinced the crime involved cats. She pursues that angle, to the consternation of the local police chief. Along the way, Jillian makes new friends and one potential enemy.

This was a cozy mystery with a likable heroine. I enjoyed many of the other characters introduced by the author, and I am looking forward to reading other books in the series.

Four stars

★★★★

Oh, yes! I didn't want to spoil too much, but yeah. She was reunited with her cat, as were many other people.
