Fantastical felines Owen and Hercules are ready to help librarian Kathleen Paulson pounce on a killer art thief in this novel in the Magical Cats Mystery series.
Normally, the arrival of an art exhibition at the Mayville Heights library would be cause for celebration. But thanks to the overbearing curator and high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen’s life has been completely disrupted. Even Owen and Hercules have been affected, since their favorite human doesn’t seem to have a spare moment to make their favorite fish crackers or listen to Barry Manilow.
But when Kathleen stops by the library late one night and finds the curator sprawled on the floor—and the exhibition’s most valuable sketch missing—it’s suddenly time to canvass a crime scene. Now Kathleen, her detective boyfriend Marcus, and her clever cats have to sniff out a murderous thief, before anyone else has a brush with death...
After the last book I read, I needed a light and fluffy story to read, and this was just the ticket. Enjoyable story and a well paced plot with a few twists and turns.
Kathleen once again finds herself at the center of a mystery when she finds the body of Margo, the curator brought in to stage an art exhibit at the library and the star exhibit - a valuable sketch - turns up missing. Can Kathleen and her supernatural cats solve the crime?
The antics of Owen and Hercules were a bit more subtle in this book; I'll liken it to how Koko "helps" solve the mystery in The Cat Who series. Nothing overt, just nudges in the right direction. Kinda clever.
Overall, an good, quick read.
