Jillian
Hart is fostering Clyde the cat. Clyde is a big media star.
It seems he ran away from his current owner to walk 200 miles
to be with his original owner, Norm Jeffrey. It is a shame
Mr. Jeffrey passed away before Clyde could see him. Clyde
put up such a fuss that neighbors showed up and found Mr.
Jeffrey had died. Now the media have camped in front of Jillian's
house and refuse to leave without an interview. It seems everyone
is jumping on the Clyde bandwagon. Or, it is a very slow news
cycle. The Mercy, SC, police were called as the reporters
had trampled Jillian’s flowers.
Deputy
Candace asks a big favor of Jillian. She wants Jillian to
do the interviews. It will take the focus off the death of
Norm Jeffrey, which is now looking more like a suspicious
death. Some of Mr. Jeffrey's heart medication is missing,
and Candace is having an autopsy done. Jillian always gets
drawn into Candace's cases. She better be careful investigating
or she could end up clawed.
Things
to ponder: Who gets possession of Clyde? Why kill a terminally
ill man? Or, was it suicide? Will Jillian and Tom ever have
a chance to let friends and family know they are engaged?
This
is the sixth Cats in Trouble Mystery. I am happy to report
that the author still has plenty of stories to tell and never
disappoints. Like a fine wine, the stories just keep getting
better. I am always eager to read a Leann Sweeney mystery.
I enjoy a well-crafted mystery. The good news is The Cat,
The Sneak and the Secret will be out in August 2015.
Anyone have a spare time machine? No matter how hard I try
– Leann Sweeney's books always become page-turners that
I can't put down. Cozy mystery readers will enjoy this addition
to the wonderfully delightful series. So, if you like a mystery
filled with adorable furry guys, then you should be reading
The Cat, The Vagabond and the Victim.
