Review by: Kevin A. Lyons on July 31, 2012 :
Okay, the murders take place in the "Reed Moore" library, the librarian's name is "Penny Copper," and a cat assists in solving the murders. If you're still expecting a complicated police procedural ... "move along, there's nothing to see here."

On the other hand, this is a cute, fun, entertaining story. The characters are engaging and the story moves right along.

On the downside -- even for a small town, the police seem to be remarkably careless. The library's book drop plays a big part in the story, and the only real problem that I have is that the book drop is not adequately described. I'm a big library-goer, and I've seen a variety of book drops -- some would serve this story's purposes, but others wouldn't. Trying to picture this book drop as the plot unfolded took me "out of the story" a few times. Not enough to turn me off, though.

I enjoyed the short story & would read more by this author. One for cat lovers as it's written from the cat's perspective!

A very enjoyable short story mystery. I enjoyed the story being told from the viewpoint of the cat, who is quite a clever sleuth! He and Penny Copper are good characters I hope to see in other books.
