Guard Dogs and Guitars

Spy Kitty in the City

By: Bailey Booth

Narrated by: Jillian Yetter

I never thought I’d be half of a crime-solving duo...working with a famous talking cat.

Country legend Benson Bridges is missing a rare guitar that he’s used to write four decades' worth of hit songs. Duke, his old hound dog, is the only one who witnessed the crime.

That’s where Persephone and I come in.

Now we’re on our way to Nashville to find the guitar. I’m a little - make that a lot - nervous about calling myself a professional crime solver. Included in my list of suspects are an obsessed fan, a hotshot singer looking to blaze his own path, and a disgruntled ex-nanny. But this unlikely crew might turn out to be my secret weapons.

Because Duke doesn’t like newcomers so much. He’s set in his ways, just like his human dad. Persephone and I think the old hound might be protecting the thief.

Losing the guitar could end Benson’s career, but finding it might cost him so much more....

Spy Kitty in the City Series

Guard Dogs and Guitars (Spy Kitty in the City) is a light fun listen with cute banter between the characters. The cover is adorable and the title title is perfect. Solving a cozy mystery with a talking cat is entertaining and not predictable. The animals are fantastic and the world building is descriptive and vividly imaginable. A good listen with a solving crimes storyline.

Jillian Yetter's narration was well performed. She gave each character than own individual voice. She played out the emotions of the characters. Her inflection is sweetly appealing to listen to.

Southern sounds & baying hounds

Addie & Persephone have been hired to help a country music star recover his stolen, favorite guitar. Addie asks Persephone if she is willing to help as the the fee will cover expenses for a new apartment with money left over to help her rescues get forever homes. After the talking cat agrees, she & Persephone are off to Nashville to try & solve the case. Soon after arriving in Nashville, Addie learns that the country star’s career is on the line if they fail to find the guitar & the thief. This is a fun, short read!

Great Cozy Mystery

This was my first Bailey Booth's book. This is the second book in the Spy Kitty in the City Series, a short Cozy Mystery. It was fun to follow Addie and Persephone in their investigation to found the missing rare guitar. Benson Bridges's dog Duke, is a great addition to the story. I loved the characters, and the mystery! This was my first listen to Jillian Yetter's voice. She did a good job with the narration.

Talking Kitty and Cozy Mystery

A cute cozy mystery. This is not the first of the talking kitty books by Booth but it is the first I've read / listened to and while there were a few times I felt like I was missing some back story they were short lived and I was able to enjoy the characters and the storyline for what it was. A talking cat and her owner who've been thrust into the world of solving crimes and are navigating it along with kitty fame as best they can. This case involves a trip to the country music capital of the world and solving the mystery of a missing guitar for a country music legend. Not everyone is as they seem but in the end the mystery is solved and all's well in the world - for the most part. Great characters and again, wonderful narration - Yetter does a great job in changing tones and accents for this listen and really brings the characters and kitty to life. Booth provides a smooth flowing storyline that ends in the most pleasing of notes!

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
