About this listen

In the latest mystery from the New York Times best-selling author of The Cat, the Sneak and the Secret, a cat collector is suspected of murder.

Jillian Hart and police chief Tom Stewart are enjoying peaceful, newly wedded bliss in Mercy, South Carolina, until a woman is found wandering the streets one night. She's in her nightclothes, disoriented, and carrying a kitten in a tote bag. A search of the woman's house reveals many more cats, a maze of cardboard boxes - and a dead man.

Although the evidence suggests the frail woman is the killer, Jillian doesn't believe she's capable of such a crime. The dead man had many enemies in town, which means finding the real murderer may prove to be its own cat and mouse game....

I really enjoyed this book. This is the second book in this series that I have listened to but it won't be my last, I love the way the author has made the cats such a huge focus of the story, there plight and there owner's certainly tugs at the heartstrings but I liked how it turned out in the end, a sweet and happy ending. There is so many different subjects tackled in this story like hoarding, alzheimer's, family relationships and of course a house full of cats, that it never got boring and it all comes together nicely in a well crafted plot. The mystery was good with what seems like two cases and although I had guessed who was responsible it was still good to be proved right and I liked piecing the clues together of a scattered mind. Even though the mystery was what attracted me to the series I think it is the characters that has me wanting to return. Jillian is a great main character, whose big heart gets her into trouble but we love her anyway. The author also shows a good understanding of cats (as we as human relationships) and I found mystery laughing over a number of simular traits that my cat shows.
Jillian is asked to help out Sean, her friend who runs a cat shelter. He has been phoned by a neighbour of an elderly woman who's inside cats seem to be roaming free and nobody has seen her. He asks for Jillian's help because the cat warden has a restraining order against him and he might also show up. They arrive to find not just the seven cats that they know about but several more than an elderly woman can cope with. The house is also full of boxes and they need to clear a path to find her, instead they find the cat catcher dead. Did the little old lady kill him? And if she did where is she? She is quickly found wandering around the streets in her night clothes clutching a kitten that she won't let go. Jillian known as the cat lady is asked to talk to her and she soon learns that everything is not right with the elderly patient and there is no way she could kill anyone. When the doctor in charge of her care is run off the road, Jillian and her step daughter Kara can't help but try to help both families. Can they get to the bottom of the car accident and the murder?
I liked the narrator. She was a pleasure to listen to and I liked the unique voices she used for the characters.

For the love of cats and a good mystery
