A Cats in Trouble Mystery

review 1: You know how people talk about curling up with a good book? For me, this was that book.I read cozy mysteries every now and then and this was the first book of the series I read, even though it’s actually book number 5 in the series. That fact didn’t matter at all – I was able to jump right in without any prior knowledge and the story and characters just all flowed wonderfully. It was a comforting, encouraging read.I really liked Leann Sweeney’s lightly educational description of the American south and the textiles industry’s impact on the lives of many locals. Wow that sentence sounded like the teacher-me talking... and maybe it sounded like a bit a of plug. But I honestly just really liked this book! And I know ‘educational’ is an ugly word but I really did ... morelearnt a bit about the history of the south and was glad for it. The environment she created in the small town of Mercy was detailed without being trite. None of the characters over-stayed their welcome... well, except for Lydia who I believe to be an antagonist for the sake of having an antagonist. But she is a very minor flaw in a very enjoyable read.And you know what? I don’t even like cats. That’s how good this cozy mystery is. Thumbs up.
review 2: As usual, I loved Jillian, Candace, and everyone else who populates Mercy. This one was a little sad, though. I do like how the characters are being drawn out, fleshed out at a natural pace. Having said that, I do wish the author would back up a little with the Jillian/Tom romance. I like having Jillian living independently with her fur babies. Overall, very happy with this series, and hope there's many more to come. less
