A Familiar Tail

Witch’s Cat Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Delia James

Narrado por: Elise Arsenault

Unlucky-in-love artist Annabelle Britton decides that a visit to the seaside town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, is the perfect way to get over her problems. But when she stumbles upon a smoky gray cat named Alastair, and follows him into a charming cottage, Annabelle finds herself in a whole spellbook full of trouble. Suddenly saddled with a witch's wand and a furry familiar, Annabelle soon meets a friendly group of women who use their spells, charms, and potions to keep the people of Portsmouth safe. But despite their gifts, the witches can't prevent every wicked deed in town.

Soon, the mystery surrounding Alistair's former owner, who died under unusual circumstances, grows when another local turns up dead. Armed with magic, friends, and the charmed cat who adopted her more than the other way around, Annabelle sets out to paw through the evidence and uncover a killer.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A special brew of magic, murder, mayhem...and one extraordinary cat." (Laurie Cass, best-selling author)

Great Story

Super story, well narrated and fun to listen to. Engrossing and holds your attention. Great. an hardly wait to start next in series.

This was a fun read!

It has a compelling mystery, magic, interesting characters, and of course, an adorable cat familiar.

Great!

Really good book! Storyline was terrific. I couldn’t stop listening because I wanted to find out what was going to happen. The narrator would’ve been 5 stars if she wouldn’t have kept saying words like “impor-dant” for important and “cur-dan” for curtain. (Her T’s were always D’s at the end of a word.) This was throughout the whole book and it was distracting to me.
Can’t wait to start the next book in the series!

A cozy witchy mystery

This book is a cozy and a perfect fall time read. Witches, a cozy cottage, a feline familiar that you wish you had, and a who done it with low stakes. Wonderful storytelling and narration. I’m intrigued to read the other two in this series.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book. It has it all murder, mystery and mayhem. The narrator did a really good job performing this story.

A funny tale of mystery

I enjoyed the story of how witches can be good. While a cat remained star.

Love it!

My friend gave me this book when I ran out of stuff to read on a trip and of course I had to get the audiobook for it. Loved this book. It was so good getting the other two. Hope she does more in the series. Awesome cozy mystery.

Great first in a new series

Delia James has written a great first in her new series. She has crafted believable characters, with a brand new idea. Elise Arsenault gave a great performance bringing all the characters to life. I can't wait for the next installment. I highly recommend this book.

Enjoyable

This is a well written and enjoyable cozy mystery. The story line was fresh and entertaining. The characters were believable in the world created for them. The story overall is plausible and enjoyable.

A familiar tail

I really enjoyed every moment of the story. It was refreshing to listen to a good book that can be enjoyed by all ages. Plus I am a cat fan
