I'm a sucker for a cozy mystery with cats. They don't have to solve the mystery - just be in it, and I'm happy. This story was a quick read and fairly entertaining, although it felt a bit rushed and thrown together at the ending. I will likely look for more mysteries by Marian Babson, especially since she tends to include animals in her tales.
