Librarian Charlie Harris and his cat Diesel must catalog a killer in this mystery in the New York Times bestselling Cat in the Stacks series.

The cat and mouse game heats up after a highly valued copy of Edgar Allan Poe’s Tamerlane goes missing and a second murder occurs. Now Charlie and Diesel must solve the case before the killer strikes a third time—and hope curiosity doesn’t kill the cat...

A lot of my catnip here, a murder mystery with all of the above is not a hard read for me. It was more about the relationship between Charlie Harris and his son who is back in his life looking for a new life.
Entertaining and gentle this was a fun read.
