Sleight of Paw
Author: Sofie Kelly
I originally started reading this series several years ago. Then life got in the way and I lost track of these books amid everything. Back now -- and I started reading from the start of the series again. :)
Sleight of Paw is the second book in the Magical Cats Mystery series.
My favorite characters? Hercules and Owen, of course! I can't choose one kitty over the other, so they will just have to share the top spot. :)
Librarian Kathleen Paulson finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation again when a local elderly woman is killed. Owen and Hercules jump in to help, as well as Kathleen's loyal group of friends. Even small towns like Mayville Heights hide secrets. Kathleen and her buddies discover just how dangerous it can be when hidden secrets get revealed.
I enjoy this series. The idea of two cute kitties with paranormal abilities is just a fun concept. I really like how the author even has Owen and Hercules help investigate. They actually come up with the best clues!
The plot of this second book kept me fully engaged the entire time. I kept trying to guess the killer's identity and changed my mind several times. The story has a balanced blend of amateur sleuthing, character development and background, and humor. The small town/library/cat portion of the plot does not overshadow the mystery plot, but adds depth to it.
Another entertaining book in this series! Moving on to the next!
