The first novel in a frisky new mystery series set in a small New England town, where an unlikely citizen is called in to solve the purrfect crime. . . Maddie James has arrived in Daybreak Island, just off the coast of Massachusetts, eager to settle down and start her own business—and maybe even fall in love. When a stray orange tabby pounces into her life, she’s inspired to open a cat café. But little does Maddie know that she’s in for something a lot more catastrophic when her new furry companion finds the dead body of the town bully. Now all eyes are on Maddie: Who is this crazy cat-whisperer lady who’s come to town? If pet-hair-maintenance and crime-fighting weren’t keeping her busy enough, Maddie now has not one but two eligible bachelors who think she’s the cat’s pajamas . . . and will do anything to win her heart. But how can she even think about happily-ever-after while a killer remains on the loose—and on her path?
My Review
3 out of 5 stars
| Cat About Town seems to be a pretty promising start to a new series. The pacing was a little slow for me at times, so I had to stop and keep coming back to the book later on. I enjoyed the descriptions of the town and the characters were pretty likable. I especially enjoyed the relationship between Maddie and her grandfather. All of my grandparents passed at an age where I was too young to really remember much about them, so I always enjoy reading about these relationships in books. It's so heartwarming. The love triangle was an interesting addition into the storyline and I am looking forward to seeing how that all plays out in the future. The mystery was well written and the killer completely took me by surprise. *I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. |
