What the Cat Dragged In

Cat in the Stacks Mystery Series, Book 14

By: Miranda James

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

When Charlie inherits a house from his grandfather, he and his cat, Diesel, discover some old bones that lead to a shocking new mystery in this latest installment in the New York Times best-selling Cat in the Stacks Mystery series.

Charlie has always believed that his grandfather had sold his house to his longtime tenant, Martin Hale. So when Martin dies, Charlie is surprised to discover the house was not left to Martin, but instead belongs to Charlie. As he and Diesel check out the house he remembers fondly from his childhood, he is pleasantly surprised that it is in better condition than expected. That is, until they find a literal skeleton in a closet.

While the sheriff's department investigates the mysterious remains, Charlie digs deeper into the past for clues to the identity of the bones and why they are there. But the cold case heats up quickly when Martin's grandson is found dead on the farm.

As Charlie delves into his own family history, he encounters many people who might have been motivated to take a life. But Charlie and Diesel know that things are not always what they seem and that secrets seemingly lost to time have a way of finding their way back to haunt the present.

I would love to adopt Diesel.

I have enjoyed this series very much. Hope Diesel returns. And Charlie’s very nice too.

Narrator

While the narrator had a beautiful voice and did a wonderful job I would have thought since the stories are basically being told by Charlie Harris, the main character, there would’ve been a male narrator. Loved the book.

The story was great

The warm tale of every day life - then the tense evil slips in and another murderr or murders I this case needs to be solved.

wonderful as usual

loved it. love these characters and the new one. love charlie and the kitties. great ending. read until finished. couldnt put dow. narration perfect.

What the Cat Dragged In : review

Charley Harris & his cat get involved in another adventure.

Many story threads of new characters are woven back into the existing regular people of the series.

Erin Bennet does a good job to carry the story with feeling.
