Mayville
Heights librarian, Kathleen Paulson is excited about a fund
raising event to help the library's Reading Buddies program
for children. Her friends and co-workers have put a lot of
effort into making the event spectacular, complete with entertainment
and luscious cupcakes and small boxes of chocolates for dessert.
The ex-wife
of Burtis Chapman, a long time town resident with a bit of
a reputation for walking on the shady side of things, blows
back into town after an absence of more than 20 years, and
shows up at the fund raiser. Meanwhile, the small boxes of
chocolates from Decadence Chocolatier are being handed out
to guests. Dayna Chapman takes a bite of one of hers and promptly
collapses. It seems she had a nut allergy, and this was enough
to kill her. Olivia Ramsey, who made the chocolates insists
there are no nuts in her products and takes a bite of another
chocolate from Dayna's box. She too, collapses, but is saved
with an injection from an EpiPen. When it turns out that Dayna's
death wasn't a horrible accident, but in fact murder, Burtis
asks Kathleen to help. As the ex-husband, he's likely to be
the main suspect, and Kathleen has solved murders in the past.
Will Kathleen go against her detective boyfriend Marcus' wishes
and get involved in his case?
With
the help of her magical cats, Hercules and Owen, she might
turn up some clues that Marcus doesn't find. Along with help
from her friends, Kathleen keeps digging, while at the same
time helping her elderly friend Rebecca get ready for her
wedding, and trying to figure out how to fund the Reading
Buddies program after the disaster at the fund raiser.
I have
thoroughly enjoyed every book in this series, and “A
Midwinter's Tail” is no exception. Sofie Kelly keeps
her Mojo going strong as the human characters continue to
develop and grow, and the feisty felines keep up their magic
act. This is a fun and fast read you won't want to put down.
Four paws up for “A Midwinter's Tail!”
