    About this audiobook

    Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson gets plenty of entertainment from her extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules. But when a theater troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for, it's up to Kathleen to play detective....
     
    With her sort-of boyfriend Marcus calling it quits and her ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has more than enough drama to deal with-and that's before a local theater festival relocates to Mayville Heights. Now the town is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own private dramas with the director, Hugh Davis.
     
    When Davis is found shot to death by the marina, he leaves behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an ensemble of suspects. Now Kathleen, with a little help from her feline friends Owen and Hercules, will have to catch the real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call.

      I like this series, it's a fun and relaxing read, it is much more a cozy mystery then a paranormal no matter the title of the series. If you enjoy a good cat mystery with a tiny touch of magic this would be the series for you, best to start with book 1 as there is a series plot along with the standalone mystery in each book.
    • 4/5
      I like the characters, but I especially like that the cats never act like anything but cats, even if they do have special talents.
    • 4/5
      I'm starting to really like Sofie Kelly's writing more and more with each book. She has a way of going against this reader's expectations in really delightful ways. For example, this book has Kathleen's ex-boyfriend coming to town. Usually when this happens we see lots of angst, lots of "should I?/shouldn't I?" and when I read the first chapter, I groaned in anticipation of it. It's a very worn out plot device. But Ms. Kelly goes a different route and in the process stays true to the character of Kathleen. Next example, Kathleen's mom comes into town. Again, most authors use this device for tried and worn out story lines: mother-daughter bonding/sleuthing, or resolution of old mother/daughter conflicts. Nope. Not this time. Mom is delightful but she's there as a secondary character and not much else. Kathleen's been dancing around a romance with police detective Marcus since the beginning of the series but her involvement in each mystery has become an escalating source of conflict. The author uses this book to not only resolve the conflict, but to do so in a way that turns the tables, and once again, she doesn't use the worn out "the love of my life is in jeopardy, I must rush to save him" story device. All in all, this book (this series) is full of grounded, rational-thinking but unique individuals that are likeable. The only oddballs here are Hercules and Owen, Kathleen's cats. The cats with magical powers and mischievous personalities. It goes without saying the cats steal whatever scene they're in and I love the scenes with Owen and Fred the Funky Chicken. Don't ask me why, but I just laugh every time. The murder plot was good. If I'm nit-picky, there could have been closer attention paid to some smaller details that would have made for a richer puzzle, but the puzzle we do have isn't a bad one. I suspect that had I not been so caught up in the characters' stories, I'd have found the killer obvious; I do remember upon their introduction thinking "hmm..odd man out" (gender neutral usage of course - no spoilers here), but then sinking back into the story and sort of forgetting about it. The ending was a bit high on drama, but then most of them are. I can't have every single stereotype busted in one book, I'd probably start hyperventilating in my joy. I genuinely look forward to the next book and more Hercules and Owen (and Fred the Funky Chicken).
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed reading this cozy mystery. It was a fairly fast moving story and the cats addition was a fun touch. Any cat lover would enjoy this touch, I look forward to reading more of her work.
    • 5/5
      In Kelly’s paranormal mystery novel, librarian Kathleen Paulson is between a rock and hard place—her sort-of boyfriend Marcus has called it quits and her ex-fiancé has shown up intending to win her back. To top it all off, a local theater festival relocates to Mayville Heights bringing in a flock of theater folk carrying their own baggage and drama. When the play director, Hugh Davis is found dead with a bullet hole in his temple, evidence of blackmail and fraud crop up along with a list of suspects all with a reason for disliking him enough to kill him. Kathleen steps up—along with Owen and Hercules, her feline sidekicks—to track a killer before someone else falls prey.A well plotted mystery, though not all of the suspects are obvious to the reader. It has small-town charm complete with a lovable cat duo making this a wonderful addition to the A Magical Cats Mystery series.
