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.
