Escape Claws

Cat Lady Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Linda Reilly

Narrated by: Callie Beaulieu

Here, killer, killer, killer...

For the first time in sixteen years, Lara Caphart has returned to her hometown of Whisker Jog, New Hampshire. She wants to reconnect with her estranged Aunt Fran, who's having some difficulty looking after herself - and her eleven cats.

Taking care of a clowder of kitties is easy, but keeping Fran from being harassed by local bully Theo Barnes is hard. The wealthy builder has his sights set on Fran's property and is determined to make her an offer she doesn't dare refuse. Then Lara spots a blue-eyed ragdoll cat that she swears is the reincarnation of her beloved Blue, her childhood pet.

Pursuing the feline to the edge of Fran's yard, she stumbles upon the body of Theo Barnes, clearly a victim of foul play. To get her and Fran off the suspect list, Lara finds herself following the cat's clues in search of a killer. Is Blue's ghost really trying to help her solve a murder, or has Lara inhaled too much catnip?

Must enjoy cats

Much of story focus was overran with cats cats and more cats as well as angst over her living site.

Loved it

Good storyline! Just a good read. Can’t wait to hear the next one. I wish it had a little more witchy but good all the same

Nice mystery.

Had a good time following the story. Didn't guess who the killer was. Very enjoyable listen.
