Sunny Coolidge's work for a travel agency just got
tougher.
Her boss Ollie is laid up with a broken leg, and he
expects
Sunny to run courier for him. The stay in rehab comes with
a
mystery -- it seems people at the home are dying off --
and
when Ollie's personable roommate passes suddenly, Ollie
demands an explanation. The sheriff doesn't want to put
any
of his deputies on it, so he assigns the job to Sunny's
boyfriend, Constable Will Price. Now they're on a race
against the clock to find the evidence before the
sheriff's
deadline.
Claire Donally has done it again. LAST LICKS is peopled
with
a variety of interesting characters -- several of whom
seem
to have motive and opportunity. She really kept me
guessing
the whole time. The killer was right there the whole time
but was still a surprise in the big reveal. I also enjoy
the
level of detail she gives to all her scenes. It makes it
easy to picture everything.
While all this is going on, Shadow begins to act very
strange when Sunny returns from the rehab center. He can
sense something on her clothing -- another cat, one of the
therapy pets at the home. While the humans try to solve
their case, Shadow is determined to resolve this mystery
on
his own.
LAST LICKS is the third book in the Sunny and
Shadow
mystery series. I highly recommend it for people who enjoy
cats and a good whodunit.
When Sunny Coolidge’s curmudgeonly boss, Oliver
Barnstable,
lands in rehab after breaking his leg, Sunny is stuck
shuttling between their offices in Kittery Harbor, Maine,
and the facility where Ollie is recuperating. And if
putting
up with temper tantrums from her boss wasn’t enough, his
rehab roommate, Gardner Scatterwell, is a shameless flirt.
But when Scatterwell dies unexpectedly in the night, Ollie
is convinced it wasn’t from natural causes. He gives Sunny
a
new assignment—find out who killed the old tomcat.
And speaking of cats, Shadow, Sunny’s feline partner in
crime, takes a peculiar interest in the rehab’s resident
angel of death—a calico cat called Portia, with an uncanny
talent for cozying up to patients right before they pass
away. Together, Sunny and Shadow will have to nose out
clues
to discover if Portia’s jinx had anything to do with
Gardner’s passing—or if all his catting around finally got
him fixed.
