chez_jaeOn Thursday night (I seem to do this a lot!), I finished reading Tailing a Tabby by Laurie Cass. It's the second book in her "Bookmobile Cat" cozy mystery series, featuring librarian Minnie Hamilton and her intrepid cat Eddie.
While Minnie and Eddie are out and about in the bookmobile, a woman flags Minnie down. Her husband has suffered a stroke, and Minnie rushes him to the hospital. A few days later, the victim is discovered slumped over the body of a murdered woman. Minnie doesn't believe her new friend is guilty, and she begins asking questions and doing a little investigating on her own.
Along the way, Minnie's budding romance with Tucker suffers some hiccups, her boss wants her to deal with a dicey situation at the library, and Minnie's aunt is angsting over her botched matchmaking efforts.
The story was mostly fun and lighthearted, with a few anxious moments thrown in to keep it from being entirely too fluffy. I enjoy Eddie's purrsonality almost as much as I like Minnie. I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.
Four stars:
★★★★
