Furbidden Fatality

A Catskills Pet Rescue Mystery, Book 1

De: Deborah Blake

Narrado por: Hollis McCarthy

A lottery winner uses her good fortune to save a local pet sanctuary, but when a body is discovered on the property, she just might be in the doghouse in this first book in a new, charming cozy mystery series from author Deborah Blake.

Kari Stuart's life is going nowhere - until she unexpectedly wins the lottery. The 29-year-old instant multimillionaire is still mulling plans for her winnings when rescuing a bossy black kitten leads her to a semi-abandoned animal shelter. They need the cash - Kari needs a purpose.

But the dilapidated rescue is literally going to the dogs with a pending lawsuit, hard-to-adopt animals, and too much unwanted attention from the town's dog warden. When the warden turns up dead outside the shelter's dog kennels, Kari finds herself up a creek without a pooper-scooper.

With the help of some dedicated volunteers, a cute vet, and a kitten who mysteriously shows up just when she needs it, Kari must prove her innocence all while trying to save a dog on death row. Now she just needs to hope that her string of unexpected luck isn't about to run out.

5 stars

Furbidden Fatality is an entertaining and enjoyable cozy mystery book. The characters are engaging and the plot has several twists and turns to keep the reader involved in the story. My only problem is that the pace of the story is a bit slow. However, I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next book in this series.

Great start to series

Fun with some twists and turns and of course the animals were a pleasure to hear about

Very enjoyable

I enjoyed this book very much. Not as silly as some cozies I have listened too. Part of the proceeds go to a great cause also.

Love Wueenie

This is my first book by this author. I enjoyed listening to it and will get more

Great Story!!

I loved it! I started to get really disappointed at one part, because I thought the book was almost over, then there was a wonderful twist and it continued for quite a while longer. Exceptional first genres book, and wonderful writing as usual.

I fell in love with Tripod, he sounds Adorable! All the animals sound so lovable!

A really great listen!

This book was really great! I
Enjoyed the characters and a twist at the end was wow! I’m looking forward to the next one in the series!

I love the premise

This feels like the start of a great new, cozy mystery series. This is the first book that I’ve read from this author and I found that I enjoyed the storyline and the pace of book. The premise, a lottery winner uses her prize money to buy and renovate a local animal shelter, is a cute idea and it’s what first drew me to the book. I’ve already bought the next two books and I’m excited to see where this series takes us.

She doesn't know

I like that she hasn't figured out that Queeny is actually all knowing and knows how to do more than she's letting her hooman know. This book is well paced, has comedy, suspense, multiple cases with the murder case looming behind them all.

Pet Sanctuary has a new owner

This is 1st in a new series and I think it is a winner!

ENJOYED THIS FIRST IN NEW SERIES

GREAT THEME, LIKEABLE CHARACTERS, HUMOR (ALWAYS A PLUS), GOOD MYSTERY. MY SIL DOES PET RESCUE AND FOSTER. I SENT HER A COPY OF THE BOOK. I KNOW SHE WILL ENJOY IT.
