review 1: Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the author for under a dollar I'd pick it up.4 stars... I really enjoyed this book and will definitely be on the look out to pick up more from the series/author.5 stars... I loved this book! It had earned a permanent home in my collection and I'll be picking up the rest of the series and other books from the author ... moreASAP.
review 2: This was a very good mystery. I really enjoyed the fact that Mary Catherine could communicate with animals, and it was interesting to "hear" their thoughts about humans.Mary Catherine has a local radio show where she answers questions regarding peoples' pets. One day, while coming home from work, she hears the distress call of a creature. As she follows the voice, she walks into a murder scene, with a woman's dead body on the floor and a small turtle who wants to know what happened to his human. She takes the animal home, and soon discovers from him small details of the murder.While trying to convince the police detective assigned to the case that she really does communicate with animals, accidents keep happening to her and her pet cat, Baylor. Add in a P.I. who likes her and has a gift of his own, a sponsor who's interested in her, and assorted other characters, and you have a well-rounded novel that should keep you interested. less

Good concept, but not very well executed. There were parts that made me laugh out loud though.

The mystery wasn't anything special but the character interaction was a lot of fun to read.

This was one of those rather dumb novels that I used as a study break.
