The fur is really going to fly when groomer Cassie McGlone drags in a catnapper . . .
With her new van, Cassie has expanded her Comfy Cat business to include mobile cat grooming. Next stop: a cat expo at a hotel just outside her hometown of Chadwick, New Jersey, where Cassie will give a grooming demo using shelter cats to encourage adoption while her veterinarian boyfriend Mark will offer a program on cat care and health.
The highlight of the expo will be a major cat show featuring pop sensation Jaki Natal. Almost as famous as his owner is her pet Gordie, a Scottish fold, who's become a social media darling. But when adorable Gordie goes missing and his sitter is found murdered, Jaki is having kittens. While the cops are more interested in solving the murder of a human, Jaki insists Cassie help expose the catnapper and return gorgeous Gordie to the fold. Now it's Cassie's turn to solo as she plays a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with a culprit who's not afraid to pounce . . .
Praise for Feral Attraction “Watkins’ series is distinguished by the incorporation of facts about cats relating to each case, making her writing educational as much as it is entertaining.” —Kirkus Reviews “This delightfully cozy mystery is a perfect rainy day read. So curl up with your cat and dig in!” —Modern Cat “This entry is a cat lover’s delight” —Publishers Weekly
Gone, Kitty, Gone is the 4th book in the Cat Groomer cozy series by Eileen Watkins. Due out 31st Dec 2019 from Kensington, it's 256 pages and will be available in paperback, audio, and ebook formats.
This is a fun and engaging cat cozy with cat-napping, murder, and protagonist Cassie taking her grooming services mobile to a big cat show in the area. The language is clean, the 'violence' is bloodless and off-scene. Cassie and her boyfriend, veterinarian Mark, have a sweet and slowly developing relationship over the course of the series. Despite being the 4th book in the series it works perfectly well as a standalone.
The plotting and story arc are well done and entertaining. I enjoyed the discussion of the different breeds in the book and especially loved the inclusion of Scottish fold Gordie and sphynx Looli (2 of my favorite breeds).
Entertaining and fun. Four stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
