Purrfect Trap by Nic Saint

My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Thursday night I finished reading Purrfect Trap by Nic Saint, which is the 15th book in the “Mysteries of Max” series of cozy cat mysteries.

Odelia thinks she has a big story to cover when a local meat market runs out of their beloved Duffer sausages. However, when several people go missing, along with most of the cats in Hampton Cove, she turns her attention to solving the disappearances. But this time, she’ll have to do it without the help of her own cats; they’re missing, too.

This was not entertaining; it was awful. I put two and two together early and hoped I was coming up with five, but no. I was correct in my assumption. The fact that nobody died (neither a cat nor a person) does not excuse the atrocity.

Favorite line: “It’s just like a serial killer to have some sort of weird cat fixation.”

Horrifying. Do yourself a favor and skip this one. It’s getting one star from me, because I can’t give it zero.
