THE FAST AND THE FURRIEST BY SOFIE RYAN

     The Fast and the Furriest by Sofie Ryan is the fifth book from A Second Chance Cat Mystery series.  In this book, someone from Mac's past shows up to see him and ends up meeting her maker.  Sarah, her cat Elvis, along with Mr. P. and the Angels, must find the killer before Mac take the fall for the crime.
      I love this series.  It's filled with fun characters and, of course, a cat who seems to know when people are lying.  Sarah is a strong independent woman who stands on her own two feet.  The Angels are friends of Sarah's grandmother.  They also knew Sarah when she was little and came to stay with her grandmother in the summer.  They work with Mr. P., a private investigator, who seems to get caught up in the cases of the community.  They are a group of witty characters that add a wonderful quirkiness to the story.  They made me laugh throughout the book.
     The mystery is a great who-dun-it.  It grabbed me from the first page and kept me reading until the last.  With it's twists and turns, it kept me guessing until the last page reveal.
      I definitely recommend this book to the cozy mystery reader that loves strong willed quirky characters, a story with lots of adventure, a touch of romance, with a plot that will draw you in and keep you turning its pages until the very end.
     I can definitely say this is one of my favorite series.  If you haven't already, checkout the first four books in the series.  You will not be disappointed.

  Sofie also writes another series.  It's the Magical Cat Mystery series she write under the name Sofie Kelly.  It is another wonderful series, with cats that seem to have qualities other cats don't possess.  I would recommend that series as well.  Check out this and her other books at:  http://sofiekelly.com/

     Until next time, Happy Reading.
    

Poisoned Pages by Lorna Barrett



      Poisoned Pages by Lorna Barrrett is the twelfth book of the Booktown Mystery series. In this book, Tricia is having a housewarming party in her newly refurbished apartment. At the party, one of the party goers is killed when poisoned by something he ate. It's up to Tricia to figure out who did it and why.

      I really enjoyed this book. Going back to Stoneham was like visiting with old friends. I could see myself shopping in Haven't Got a Clue, visiting with Pixie and Mr. Everett. I would go to Booked for Lunch for a great meal while watching Tricia having lunch with Angelica. The characters add warmth and wit to the story. They are one big family.

      The mystery is exceptional. It is a mystery within a mystery. There were secrets and a great who-dun-it that will keep you guessing. I couldn't stop reading until I got to the end and found out the answers to all of the questions. It kept me riveted until the end. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a great who-dun-it with twists and turns that will keep you guessing along the way, and characters that are warm, witty and have a family feel.

      I received this ARC copy of the book from the author for review. This is an honest review.

      I would also recommend readers to check out the first eleven books of this series.  They are wonderful reads that will grab you from the first page to the last.  I love this series so much.

      Until next time Happy Reading.
