Resumen del Editor

With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile based in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. But she'd better keep both hands on the wheel, because it's going to be a bumpy ride....

Eddie followed Minnie home one day, and now she can't seem to shake the furry little shadow. But in spite of her efforts to contain her new pal, the tabby sneaks out and trails her all the way to the bookmobile on its maiden voyage. Before she knows it, her slinky stowaway becomes her cat co-pilot! Minnie and Eddie's first day visiting readers around the county seems to pass without trouble - until Eddie darts outside at the last stop and leads her to the body of a local man who's reached his final chapter.

Initially, Minnie is ready to let the police handle this case, but Eddie seems to smell a rat. Together, they'll work to find the killer - because a good librarian always knows when justice is overdue.

A Cat Named Eddie

I enjoyed this rather easy-to-follow book. It’s a shame that Eddie didn’t have a greater role to play.

Good beginning

This has to be one of my most favorite cozy mysteries. I think it's because of the cat, Eddie. Eddie is a fun side character to Minnie. Good duo. The book from start to finish was entertaining. Nice pace. And I love the idea of a Library on wheels. Minnie seems like a good soul.

A Very Good Read/Listen

This Was A great book that kept me guessing until the end. I would definitely recommend it. The Narrator is very talented and engaging.

Enjoyble Mystery.

Nice Cozy Mystery, with a good narration and an interesting topic of books and cats .

Relaxing, Light-Hearted Read

This series is similar to that of Sophia Kelly’s “Magical Cat’s” series, but not quite as good. Both main characters are single librarians, the stories are set in small towns where everyone knows everyone else (and just about everybody is a suspect), both have cats with unusual abilities, both librarians somehow manage to get wrapped up in murders, lots of townspeople are involved, the librarians stick their noses where they neither belong nor are welcome and get into trouble before ultimately solving the murder.

The big difference is Ms. Kelly has two cats in her story who are very magical —- one can walk through walls, the other can appear and disappear at will. In this story, the very relaxed, almost lazy Eddie, is very intuitive.

If you can overlook the implausibility of some of the factors, this is a relaxing, enjoyable, lighthearted read. Initially, I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy the story and it’s characters enough to get through to the end, but the determined 4’9” Minnie Hamilton (I liked her spunk) and her sweet, sneaky kitty Eddie, grew on me. By the end of the story I really wanted to know “whodunnit.” I believe I will indeed read the second book in this series. (:

I like

Well written by and well read. Enjoyed it very much. Going to get a couple more of these!!

Erin Bennett is superb!!

the storyline is great and the narrator makes the entire book so enjoyable!! I love this series

Omg:: I just love Mr Eddie

I really love the flow of the storyline.
I want to hear more about our heroines budding romance. How about if she ( the heroine)starts writing a childrens book about Eddie’s exploits. Plot within a plot.

Really cute for my first cozy mystery

I loved this and I loved Eddie. Literally listened to it in the span of a day. Can’t wait to start book 2 tomorrow 😊

Well worth the wait.

I spotted this book some time back on the pre order list. As soon as I could today I downloaded it. I have always had a fascination with bookmobiles so finding a book series with them in audio format was a real treat
I was expecting a simple cozy but discovered a nice complex story. This one had a surprise ending for me. About mid book I thought I had the killer identified. The last chapter was a big shocker for me when the killer was revealed. What a treat.
A big bonus for me was the cat. Unless you have had a cat decide to move in and adopt you it is hard to believe the things a cat will do. Eddy reminded me of our Kitty Tom. The cat would ring the door bell to be let in and throw up at the sight of a mouse.
I can't wait for the next big adventure in this series.
