A Fat Cat Mystery

review 1: I love cozy mysteries when someone is murdered in a small town where everyone knows each other but yet they feel safe. I never got the small-town feeling with this book because Minneapolis is a big city and Dinkytown is a large neighborhood. It appears that Chase, a transplant from Chicago has co-owned the bakery a short time and is only familiar with the murder victim (whom she despises) and his wife and adult child (who she suspects is stealing from the bakery). Not exactly a warm-town feeling.Chase owns an overweight cat named Quincy that runs off in search of food because he hates the new diet food that vet suggests. Chase "chases" after him and sees that a condo door is slightly ajar. She enters he home and sees the cat on the kitchen counter chowing down on meatloa... moref. Then Chase notices the man that she just finished arguing with at her bakery laying on the floor facedown. She rolls him over and touches the knife to pull it out. YOU NEVER TOUCH THE BODY OR THE WEAPON! Call the police you fools! You got it, Chase becomes Suspect #1 in the murder. Duh!Chase co-owns a bakery with Anna who is supposed to be the grandmother of her best friend and a "grandmotherly presence" in Chase's life. However, they hardly seem to like or trust each other when it comes to keeping track of the financial side of the business or how to coach their employees so they can have a successful bakery. I figured out long before they did who the murderer was and even the murder weapon used. Yawn. This wasn't my favorite cozy mystery. ***Book Challenge: I read this book because it takes place in Minneapolis (my hometown or close enough).
review 2: A relaxing light cozy mystery based around desert bakery that is co-owned by Chase and Anna. Quincy an overweight orange cat is supposed to be on a diet. Someone is feeding him cookies under the counter. Quincy knows how to open doors and leads Chase to a dead body so she is a "person of interest" in couple homicides. Chase takes Quincy to the Vet and it looks there might be a romance developing. Vi and Laci ares employees at the shop are constantly fighting and must be scheduled to work different times. Can Chase clear herself and will Quincy loose the needed weight? less
