Jillian, Shawn Cuddahee, and Dustin Grey go into the old
textile mill to evaluate what they will need to relocate
some feral cats and find an old woman living there. She
claims to have a pet named Boots; although no one else can
see him. She also claims to be protecting a holy place.
First, Jillian contacts Candace for help. As a local police
officer, Candace is very much by the book. She reluctantly
agrees to help find out more about Jeannie, a woman whose
daughter disappeared years ago. When Jillian, Dustin, and
Candace return to the mill, they find Jeannie injured.
When the local councilwoman driving this renovation project
is found dead, things really become interesting. Now, they
are in a race to find out who is harassing Jeannie, who
killed the councilwoman and relocate the cats before
something more dangerous happens
Ms. Sweeney has added a new twist to the latest in her
i>Cats
in Trouble mysteries...a ghost cat. With the addition
of
the histories on mills in the south and the mystery of the
missing girl, events become very interesting in Jillian's
new home. We follow Jillian through her trials as she
searches to solve the mysteries that surround her. We
sympathize with her as she battles her growing conviction
that Boots is not a figment of Jeannie's imagination.
Ms. Sweeney is a talented writer who has peopled this series
with some extremely likable characters, one truly obnoxious
character and some interesting ones to keep it all
interesting. She is adept at weaving the history of the
textile industry into THE CAT, THE MILL, AND THE MURDER ;
giving the reader just enough to keep their interest without
boring them. This series just gets better and better.
When cat lover and quilter Jillian Hart volunteers to help a
local animal shelter relocate a colony of feral cats living
in an abandoned textile mill, she never expects to find a
woman living there, too. Jeannie went missing from Mercy,
South Carolina, a decade ago, after her own daughter’s
disappearance.
Jeannie refuses to leave the mill or abandon Boots, her cat
who died years ago. After all, she and Boots feel the need
to protect the premises from “creepers” who come in the
night. After Jeannie is hurt in an accident and is taken
away, those who've come to town to help repurpose the mill
uncover a terrible discovery.. As the wheels start turning
in Jillian’s mind, a mysterious new feline friend aids in
her quest to unearth a long-kept and dark secret.
Very nice review. I love Leann's Cats in Trouble mysteries (and her Yellow Rose series as well), but this book is my favorite of all of them. It is so well written. It's fun, informative without being boring, and leaves you wanting more. The characters have become like old friends. I have all five books in on my Kindle and in audio. I can't wait for the next installment. (Lynda Turpin 1:30pm December 10, 2013)
