REVIEW: A Night's Tail

A Night's Tail
Author: Sofie Kelly

A Night's Tail is the 11th book in the Magical Cats Mystery series. This series is one of my favorites! Anyone who is owned by a cat(s) knows that sometimes it seems like cats can go through closed doors or disappear at will. The main character in this series knows that better than most. Kathleen Paulson's two cats don't just seem like they are magic....they really are! It makes for a cute, fun cozy mystery!

I enjoyed this newest book in the series. There is some long awaited character development, as well as the usual investigation and kitty magic. Kathleen's brother is in town with his band, The Flaming Gerbils, when of course someone turns up dead. Unfortunately, the band members had an altercation with the dead man...so Kathleen has to do a bit of sleuthing to help clear them. Turns out quite a few people disliked the dead man. The mystery moves along at a steady pace with plenty of suspects, clues and interesting developments. The background fluff about the band, songwriting, etc doesn't overpower the mystery portion of the plot, but adds to it. Very entertaining cozy!

I listened to the audio version of this story. The audio, narrated by Cassandra Campbell, is just over 7 hours long. Campbell reads at a steady pace, has a pleasant voice and does a great job of voice acting. It made for a nice listening experience.

All in all, a great addition to one of my favorite cozy mystery series! These books always provide an entertaining, fun reading experience! I always eagerly await the next book!
