After the video of Hamlet mimicking Darla's moves during a
martial arts competition goes viral, Darla and Hamlet are
invited to a cat show in Miami.
Taking her best friend with her, they all set off to have
a
great time. Since Jake's mother lives in Fort Lauderdale,
Jake will act as security during the show and then visit
with her mother for a few days.
With animal activists picketing the show, there are a lot
of things going on all at once. Just before the show
where
Darla and Hamlet are due to perform, Hamlet is kidnapped.
Jake is discovered unconscious. Even after shutting the
convention center down, they don't find Hamlet right away.
When Hamlet is discovered in the room of a dead man, Jake
and Darla will become part of the investigation despite a
lot of reluctance from the local detectives.
There are many cat mysteries available, but Ms. Brandon
has
done a good job writing a unique series. Hamlet
communicates with Darla by knocking books off the shelves
her store. It is up to Darla to interpret his clues with
the help of her staff and Jake. Each time, Darla finds
herself in some danger and Hamlet is smug as he helps
solve
the murder.
This series is thoroughly enjoyable with some fun
characters. I look forward to each new book.
From her Brooklyn bookstore, Darla Pettistone not only sells
mysteries, but solves them, aided by her big-boned black
cat, Hamlet—who has suddenly pounced into the spotlight
after unleashing his fists of furry…
After a video of Darla and Hamlet performing at a martial
arts tournament goes viral, the Florida chapter of the
Feline Society of America invites the “Karate Kitty” to be
the guest of honor at their championship cat show in Fort
Lauderdale.
Upon arrival, Darla discovers that not everyone in the
Sunshine State has a sunny disposition. Animal rights
activists are on the march, and a cat show contestant stages
his own angry protest when his special breed Minx—half
Sphynx, half Manx—doesn’t win. Then Hamlet disappears—only
to be found next a dead man's body. Now it’s up to Darla and
Hamlet to take best in show and collar the killer…
