Sleight of Paw by Sofie Kelly is the second book in the “Magical Cats” mystery series. Publisher: Obsidian, September 2011
Kathleen Paulson never wanted to be the crazy cat
lady. But when Owen and Hercules followed her home from mysterious Wisteria
Hill, she realized her mind wasn’t playing tricks on her: Her cats have magical
abilities. And when a body is found near Kathleen’s favorite local café, she
knows Owen’s talent for turning invisible and Hercules’s ability to walk
through closed doors will give the felines access to clues Kathleen couldn’t
get without arousing suspicion. With her pet partners, and perhaps the
assistance of a certain handsome detective, Kathleen is determined to find out
who kill Agatha Shephard, an elderly woman who seems to have helped almost
everyone in town at one time or another. Someone is hiding dark secrets, and it
will take a bit of furtive investigating to catch the coldhearted killer.
This was a good read. When Kathleen’s friend is arrested for murder and believing in her innocence, Kathleen begins an earnest investigation into the murder. This was easy-paced story that was very appealing. The mystery was good and with guidance from her mystical cats, Kathleen was able to expose a killer. I liked the character developments; the easy flow of conversations; the small-town feeling and of course, her two furry roommates. I look forward to reading the next book in this charming series.
