Mayville
Heights librarian, Kathleen Paulson is out of sorts. Her sort-of
boyfriend, Detective Marcus Gordon is so unhappy with her
getting involved in murder investigations that he’s
shutting her out. Their tentative relationship had been precarious
from the start, but now it seems as if he won’t forgive
her latest escapades.
After
a fire at the Stratton Theater, a local acting troupe needs
a place to perform their play, “Yesterday’s Children.”
The gazebo on the library grounds seems to be the perfect
place for the show to go on, and Kathleen is willing to do
anything she can to help. The director, Hugh Davis, is difficult
to please, however, and he doesn’t seem pleased with
anything. Little did anyone suspect that things were about
to get worse, but they did. Hugh’s been murdered at
the lookout at the Marina…and Kathleen literally trips
over his body!
Meanwhile,
her ex-fiancé, Andrew, has come to town to try to woo
her back, and Marcus’ little younger sister, Hannah,
has arrived to perform in the play. Are these two going to
be more trouble for Kathleen and Marcus, or will they find
a way to mend fences because of the current adversity? Thank
goodness, Kathleen has good friends, and an amazing pair of
cats, Owen and Hercules, with magical powers and the ability
to help her figure things out. Maggie steps up to find the
murderer when suspicions point to Hannah and Marcus is off
the case. Will she figure out who the killer is before they
strike again? Hercules offers up some clues, in typical magical
cat fashion.
I’ve
been lucky enough to review all of the books in this fabulous
series. Owen and Hercules have enthralled me from the start,
and they have this reader wrapped firmly around their paws.
When I visit Mayville Heights via the Magical Cats Mystery
series, I find myself transported enough that I can envision
the characters, hear their voices, and almost taste the yummy
food served at Eric’s Place. There is so much to love
about “Final Catcall,” and I promise you won’t
want to put the book down…and you simply must read it
if you want to know what a “funky chicken” is!
