When bookmobile librarian Minnie Hamilton helps save a
man's
life, she has no idea he's the famous artist known as
Cade,
or that she'll become friends with him and his wife. Or
that she'll be the first one they call when Cade is
arrested
for murder.
Minnie can't believe this kindly man, weakened by a
stroke,
could have brutally murdered a young woman. Using her
research skills and her bookmobile connections -- and with
a
little guidance from her cat Eddie - Minnie starts piecing
together what really happened.
In TAILING A TABBY, author Laurie Cass has given us a
solid
whodunit in a small town populated by generally kind but
quirky characters. Minnie has a lot more to do than solve
the mystery - her boss wants her to get rid of a patron he
thinks is wasting everyone's time, her friend wants to get
her restaurant on a trendy cooking show, and her
grandmother
wants her help playing matchmaker to her summer boarders.
And she's trying really hard to go on a date with her busy
E.R. doctor boyfriend.
TAILING A TABBY is a fun, engaging, and suspenseful. It's
also a perfect cozy mystery for cat lovers. Eddie doesn't
talk, communicate psychically or have scenes that take us
inside his mind, but he still manages to get his point
across to Minnie when it's important. This is the second
book in the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series.
In the bookmobile, librarian Minnie Hamilton and her
rescue
cat, Eddie, roll out great summer reads to folks all over
the lake town of Chilson, Michigan. And when real-life
drama
turns deadly, Minnie makes sure justice is never overdue.
The bookmobile is making its usual rounds when Minnie and
Eddie are flagged down by a woman in distress. The woman’s
husband, a famous artist, needs emergency medical care.
After getting him into the bookmobile, Minnie races the
man
to the hospital in time but his bad luck has only
just begun.
After disappearing from the hospital, the artist is
discovered slumped over the body of a murdered woman.
Minnie
knows that her new friend didn’t commit the crime, but the
evidence paints an unflattering picture. Now this
librarian
and her furry friend have to put the investigation in high
gear and catch the real killer before someone else checks
out.
