The Cats and Curios Mystery

review 1: I have read the books out of sequence which is not a good idea but it is all making sense to me now.This is a fun Cozy series but must be read in sequence in order to be understood. Rebecca has been left an antique store by her Uncle Oscar who spent much of his life collecting artifacts and studying San Francisco history. This book is one of the adventures her send his niece and her cats on.The cast of characters are quirky and multi talented. They return in each book. There are references again to Mark Twain. Once again we are treated to the antics of the cats Isabella and Rupert as they help solve the mystery. We also enjoy the company of an albino alligator named Clive.
review 2: I enjoy this series. They are rather bizarre in a way, but fun, too.Oscar's nie... morece has gotten caught up in another mystery her uncle has left her clues, too. But she needs Isabella's help to uncover all the clues. Isabella also requires lazy Rupert to do his share of the work. The opening scene is funny, with interim mayor candidate Monty Carmichael thinking he can capture Clive, the missing albino alligator from San Francisco's science museum.Then you get into all the story behind this moment in time - and find out what happens in the end of the episode.The previous mayor, PM, is dabbling in all things going on in the city still. The current mayor is going to Sacramento to be Lieutenant Governor, and very happy to get away from incidents involving frogs. "James Lick" has opened a fried chicken restaurant which seem to be making Oscars chicken recipe. His niece buys it for her cats. She is not so concerned with making The Green Vase antique shop pay now, but following Oscar's clues involving the history of San Francisco. This mystery involves the missing alligator from the Aquarium and the Steinhardt brothers who were big in funding the aquarium originally. James Lick is also a name from the past. The PM guesses who he might be and knows something is up with the interm mayoral candidates. But the excitement keeps brewing with Clive being spotted around town - dressed appropriately - with a friend. In one of the first sightings, a woman is upset because Clive is wearing a Hermes scarf that she wants - and she is afraid he looks bbetter in it than she will!I love all the history and am fascinated by Isabella, who is awfully knowing for a cat. But she and Rupert ARE special cats, historical cats in fact (from the first book in the series). less
