CLAWS OF DEATH
Book 2 in the Cat Lady Mysteries
by Linda Reilly
The meow of death . . .
Whisker Jog, New Hampshire, is a long way from Hollywood, but it’s the place legendary actress Deanna Daltry wants to call home. Taking up residence in a stone mansion off Cemetery Hill, the retired, yet still glamorous, septuagenarian has adopted two kittens from Lara Caphart’s High Cliff Shelter for Cats. With help from her Aunt Fran, Lara makes sure the kitties settle in safely with their new celebrity mom.
But not everyone in town is a fan of the fading star. Deanna was in Whisker Jog when she was younger, earning a reputation for pussyfooting around, and someone is using that knowledge against her. After being frightened by some nasty pranks, Deanna finds herself the prime murder suspect when the body of a local teacher is found on her property. Now, it’s up to Lara, Aunt Fran, and the blue-eyed Ragdoll mystery cat Lara recently encountered to collar a killer before another victim is pounced upon . . .

MY REVIEW
I
was so happy to finally get to read CLAWS OF DEATH! After reading the first
book in the series, ESCAPE CLAWS, I knew this was a series that would half a
place on my bookshelves.
It
was a great amount of fun to return to Whisper Jog, New Hampshire, and spend
time with Lara, Aunt Fran, and all the other delightful residents of the small
town. Author Linda Reilly writes characters that I would be friends with. I can
see myself spending any enjoyable hours in the company of these people, Just as
I spend many enjoyable hours reading about them.
CLAWS
OF DEATH is a wonderfully written story that captured my attention on page one
and fed my imagination until the very last page. The mystery aspect is well
crafted and intriguing, with just the right amount of twists and turns to challenge
my guesses. A real page turned that I hated to see end.
I give CLAWS OF DEATH 2 paws up and 5 meows!

ReplyDeleteI have the first one on my Kindle but haven't read it yet. I also have one of her paperbacks in her other series.
