Claws for Alarm

Nick and Nora Mysteries Series #2

Since inheriting her mother's sandwich shop, Nora Charles is more about hot grilled paninis than cold-blooded murder - until her sister, Lacey, is arrested. The victim, an esteemed art collector and Lacey's bullying professor, was stabbed in the heart. Apparently, all over a lousy grade. Off campus, things were just as dicey. The prof had an ex with secrets, a trophy wife set to inherit a fortune in masterworks, and a scorned student mistress.

Going undercover, Nora realizes that investigating this crime is the biggest test of her sleuthing career. Because if she fails, even Nick's animal instinct won't be enough to rescue Lacey from a perfectly executed framing.

Getting there

At least the cat sounds like a cat this time and they dropped the phone French accent Chantal had been using. The Ma Cherie has to go! No one says Ma Cherie with such regularity if at all!
Character development is definitely better this time round.

The characters and the cat

I have a cat and find she is intuitive sometimes I ask her Who is in there? The story was told very well great narration. Narration can change the way you listen to the story. Some narrators make it difficult to listen I have abandoned a story even a series because it is to difficult and even work to listen to

Awesome Mystery

This is a great series. It has well written fully developed characters and a well planned plot. It has humor, suspense, a little romance, and an intriguing mystery. This is a great mystery and I look forward to the next book.

Better than the first.

Would you consider the audio edition of Claws for Alarm to be better than the print version?

Don't know. Just have audio edition.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes. A little suspension of disbelief at Nora's sleuthing but good twists. Like the mystery of the missing PI. Love Nick the cat.

Which character – as performed by Amy Rubinate – was your favorite?

Falling hard for Daniel. Please keep him. Not as big a fan of crabby cop/ex boyfriend. Please let her end up,with the sweet guy!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Unfortunately yes. Listened through weekend with flu. :-).

Any additional comments?

Love the characters and Nora is growing on me. Please write more!
