A Purrfect Alibi is the 3rd Oyster Cove Guesthouse mystery by Leighann Dobbs. Released 18th Sept 2019, it's 219 pages and available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats.
This is a cute paranormal murder mystery cozy with anthropomorphic talking cats (they talk to one another). For readers who are familiar with the series, this is another in much the same vein (although the paranormal theme is more prominent in the story arc here than in previous volumes). Obviously with talking cats and the third(?) murder in a few weeks at the guesthouse, this book (and the series) requires a hefty suspension of disbelief. If readers are willing to invest in the story, they will be rewarded with an entertaining light read with treasure, ghosts, and a pack of eccentric characters including visiting psychics and investigative reporter. This is definitely aimed at a readership who appreciate cozies with recipes included at the back. I fully intend to try out the turkey breakfast sausage recipe soon.
The language is very clean, nary a curse word to be seen. There is no explicit sexual content. There is a cute romance element as one of the main plot devices, but nothing blush-worthy at all.
For Kindle Unlimited subscribers; the titles in this series are available in the KU subscription to borrow and download for free.
Four stars. Entertaining light reading.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
