Cat About Town

Cat Cafe Mystery Series, Book 1

De: Cate Conte

Narrado por: Amy Melissa Bentley

Maddie James has arrived in Daybreak Island, just off the coast of Massachusetts, eager to settle down and start her own business - and maybe even fall in love. When a stray orange tabby pounces into her life, she's inspired to open a cat cafe. But little does Maddie know that she's in for something a lot more catastrophic when her new furry companion finds the dead body of the town bully.

Now all eyes are on Maddie: Who is this crazy cat-whisperer lady who's come to town? If pet-hair-maintenance and crime-fighting weren't keeping her busy enough, Maddie now has not one but two eligible bachelors who think she's the cat's pajamas...and will do anything to win her heart. But how can she even think about happily-ever-after while a killer remains on the loose - and on her path?

WHAT A GREAT READ

I LOVED THIS NEW-TO-ME FIRST IN A SERIES. THE CHARACTERS ARE LIKEABLE, BELIEVABLE, FUNNY AT TIMES, AND QUITE AN ASSORTMENT OF PERSONALITIES. OH, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THE OBVIOUS STRUGGLE CRAIG AND LUCAS WILL HAVE OVER MADDIE. I AM ABOUT TO BUY BOOK 2.

For once, I prefer to listen to the voices in my head

I purchased this audio book several months ago. I never made it past the 3rd chapter; unless a book captures my interest within the first couple chapters, I rarely continue. Then, yesterday, I was reviewing Kindle's Recommended books and this book was on my list. I thought the plot sounded interesting and the cat on the cover convinced me to give it a try. I downloaded the book, totally forgetting I had already purchased the Audible version. It wasn't until I opened the book and it prompted me about switching to immersion reading that I realized the book already occupied space in my Audible library.

To my delight, I loved *reading* the book, it was the audio version I don't care for, however. The narrator isn't bad, in fact, she's probably good, but her voice failed to captivate me. Initially I thought it was the story that didn't appeal to me, but since reading the book on Kindle, I realized the narrator's interpretive delivery of the story just didnt match my interpretation, especially of the characters, in my head.

Great READ!

Cat About Town

New series. Starting out with a bang. Enjoyed all the new characters and reader was great.

Fun

I really like this series and it’s fine to listen to. As an animal lover, I find it clever to bring mystery, reading, and awareness to animal rescue all in one. I have been huge supporter of best friends animal sanctuary, which is not far from me.

Mystery with cats!

I love the idea of a coastal city, murder and cats. It was a very charming book and I did home renovations while listening- me and my cats! The book felt long though. With over 50 chapters and so many potential suspects, it got a little long for me. But it was enjoyable and the kitty was a great character.
