Shadow may be a cat, yet he knows a thing or two about
the two-legged folk and he likes the ones like the
Generous one who gives him lots of fish tidbits. Now what
is happening with him and where are his fish treats?
Unknown to Shadow, a number of unusual things are
happening in the small town of Kittery Harbor in Maine
and it is not only a major winter storm. Shadow is
determined to sniff out what is going on.
Meanwhile, his two-legged owner, Sunny Coolidge, is
striving to fix some software where she works at the
Maine Adventure X-perience (MAX for short), but is
concerned about others in her life. As a break from her
office work, she strives to get a handle on what is
going on with Neil Garret and what is happening (or not)
with his seafood shop. It had started off so well but now
seems to be in a deep slump and not just from the winter
season. Finding a dead body in his deep freezer is not
going to help him either. What can she do about?
Well-known for cozy mysteries and story telling
abilities, best selling author Claire Donally's CATCH AS
CAT CAN is the fifth book in her Sunny and Shadow Mystery
series. As this book is my first introduction to the
series, I can certainly endorse that it reads very well
as a stand-alone cozy mystery. Given that, I am sure
fans of Donally's earlier books will be sure to lap up
this latest addition and savor how Shadow has been
sharping his claws and his detective skills while
Sunny, along with her boyfriend Chief Inspector Will
Price, strive to make sense of the information they
gather about the unusual murder and other happenings in
their small town, including just what Will's new lovely
sidekick is up to.
If you like cozy mysteries, there is a lot to enjoy in
CATCH AS CAT CAN right from its delightful cover, the
likeable characters to its surprising ending. The
story is well-plotted with intriguing twists and a nice
balancing act between Sunny and Shadow and their
relationship with others. CATCH AS CAT CAN is a
definite treat for cat loving fans, so get your copy
and curl up with it for a lovely cat-satisfying read!
The new Sunny and Shadow mystery from the New York
Times bestselling author of Hiss and Tell and
Last Licks.
When a new seafood shop opens in Kittery Harbor, Maine,
Sunny’s tomcat Shadow is on the hunt for tasty treats—until
Sunny discovers a cold-blooded killer’s catch of the day.
Neil Garret is new to town, but his seafood shop is already
going belly up. Working next door, former reporter Sunny
Coolidge can’t help noticing the telltale signs. But
checking on Neil one morning reveals something far worse for
business than a lack of inventory—a mysterious man lies
murdered in his freezer.
Sunny’s boyfriend, Chief Investigator Will Price, nets Neil
as the prime suspect. But even when Sunny learns about
Neil’s secret past, the open-and-shut case seems fishy. Now
it’s up to Sunny to find the real culprit and get Neil off
the hook.
