Lending a Paw

Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Laurie Cass

Narrated by: Erin Bennett

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.

Great narration of a fun, intriguing story

It was fun and entertaining. Great plot and characters. The narrator fit the main character's personality and has a great voice to listen to.

Wonderful!

Great narration! Very intriguing storyline. Kept me guessing until the end.You won't be disappointed with this author or this narrator.

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.
