Slight but fun mystery with cats

Grace, Jack, and their two cats, Tatiana and Zeus, discover a disturbing surprise at Grace and Jack's engagement party. Eddie, the band's lead singer, has been murdered--stabbed with a letter opener.

This is Prohibition, and so everyone that has a comfortable income drinks like a fish, by modern standards. And of course, it' all a big joke. For someone who grew up with two alcoholic uncles and a recovering alcoholic father, it's not quite so funny. It's even less funny when you've actually looked at the per capita consumption of alcohol in the years preceding Prohibition, and the annual per capita consumption since. Bad, or at least unwelcome, news: No, per capita consumption of alcohol has never recovered to anything close to pre-Prohibition levels. The pre-Prohibition alcohol consumption rates were truly scary, and Prohibition worked spectacularly well. By the time it was repealed, the culture had changed, and we didn't need it anymore. But be that as it may, Grace, Jack, and the cats have a murder to solve.

That means, in this case, going to Tijuana, to meet a gangster's moll called Cupcake Kitty, due to her enthusiasm for those two things. Along the way, we learn that the Magical Cats really are magical, and a vital part of the Brewster & Wentworth Detective Agency. Jack and Grace could not solve the case without them!

This is a light, fun, short story, and most people will just not be as put off as I am by the cavalier attitude toward near-constant drinking to get drunk. And the cats, of course, are wonderful.

Enjoyable.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from the author, and am reviewing it voluntarily.

Cupcake Kitty

Cute,quick,cozy noir mystery.....with cats! Amy Gramour was a fine narrator.I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

The death of a singer

This book just didn't hold my interest. It was too short to give the story justice.

Boring

Sorry but this was not for me. I found it to be boring and repetitive. It was not exciting at all. I was really looking forward to the series being good but it is not for me.

Magic kitty?

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

no not really, the addition to the kitty having magic type powers was a little strange, the 1920's tyme was ok. I mean I wish the characters were more flushed out.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

The performance is ok, but the infliction of her speech at times is a odd

Did Cupcake Kitty inspire you to do anything?

no

Another Cat Lover’s Treat

A cool magical mystery in the cat world that should please everybody especially cat lovers.

cats and mystery

I love how the cats are magical and help solve the mystery. A musician is killed at the engagement party. The couple and their 2 cats investigate and solve the mystery.

Not a good pick.

Would you try another book from Mary Matthews and/or Amy Gramour?

narration is horrible, and sound quality poor. Could not listen to the full story due to audio.

Enjoyable

I've been enjoying these cute cat mysteries. The writing was good and the narrator did an excellent job.
