Castle Grey

A Katt and Mouse Mystery, Book 1

By: L.C. Wright

Narrated by: Marlin May

There’s a fine line between genius and insanity. The home of such a man existed 100 years ago. A rich, egotistical, megalomaniac built it and used it for science as well as pleasure. Now his great-grandson has returned to re-establish the family's traditions. Seven women are dead because of the curse of Castle Grey.

Tall, beautiful and intelligent, Special Agent Katherine Katt of the FBI was sent to Monterey, California, to find the man responsible for the murder of those seven women.

Detective Mickey (Mouse) James, of the Sacramento Police, was sent in an attempt to hide from the Mexican Cartel and to keep himself from getting killed.

Oil and water is how you would describe their relationship. Katt is a good agent being held back from how she sees herself in the Bureau. James is a bully with an attitude. Castle Grey is their first attempt together to get their lives and careers back on track.

Trudged through...

I trudged through this book. Didn't like the narration and the way the story kept jumping around was confusing. Too many plots within the book. The writing was tedious and if I heard the phrase, "my friend" one more time I was going to scream. It could have been a good book with editing, alas it floundered.

A great beginning

It took a while to hit its stride. The opening chapters felt forced and formulaic. But as the story unfolded, I got caught up in the intricacies and plot twists. There's a lot here to like. I felt the author didn't know their characters well enough when they put pen to page, but by the end the Katt and Mouse felt fleshed out and real. I look forward to the next in the series.

OMG just shoot me now!

I really tried to listen to this book. The narration was so bad I just couldn't make myself continue past the 1st three chapters!
