Faux Paw

Magical Cats, Book 7

By: Sofie Kelly

Narrated by: Cassandra Campbell

Normally the arrival of an art exhibition at the Mayville Heights library would be cause for celebration. But thanks to the overbearing curator and high-tech security system that comes with it, Kathleen's life has been completely disrupted. Even Owen and Hercules have been affected, since their favorite human doesn't seem to have a spare moment to make their favorite fish crackers or listen to Barry Manilow.

But when Kathleen stops by the library late one night and finds the curator sprawled on the floor - and the exhibition's most valuable sketch missing - it's suddenly time to canvass a crime scene. Now Kathleen; her detective boyfriend, Marcus; and her clever cats have to sniff out a murderous thief before anyone else has a brush with death.

Critic reviews

"A fun cozy mystery with a delightful cast of characters." ( Book of Secrets Blog)

Love the entire series!

I love the entire series and always look forward to the next book. Thank you!

Love the cats

I like the way the cats understand what people say and are so very smart.

very entertaining

The characters are always interesting and the story keeps you locked in. Still I say needs to be on Hallmark

Kathleen and Marcus

The author has found a way to create an interesting story and have the main characters work together instead of against each other. And the ending was dangerous in the tradition of her stories, but not. Well done.

Cute but predictable

Not bad but not Sofie Kelly’s best work.

The biggest problem with this book in the series is that it’s incredibly predictable. Kelly is normally very good with keeping you guessing with the whodunnit side of things but a little strange or boring with the side stories. This is the opposite.

The Who, how and why are very easy to figure out. Yet the side stories were fairly entertaining and funny. Per usual, the characters were interesting and funny and the narration by Cassandra Campbell was on point.
