Meow If It's Murder

Nick and Nora Mysteries, Book 1

By: T. C. LoTempio

Narrated by: Rebecca Mitchell

Back in her hometown, Nora reconnects with old friends and makes some new ones - like Nick, the charming feline who seems determined to be her cat. But not everything about Cruz is friendly. Writing for a local online magazine, Nora investigates the curious death of socialite Lola Grainger. Though it was deemed an accident, Nora suspects foul play. And it seems that her cat does too.

Apparently, Nick used to belong to a P.I. who disappeared while investigating Lola Grainger's death. The coincidence is spooky, but not as spooky as the clues Nick spells out for her with Scrabble letters - clues that lead her down an increasingly dangerous path. Whether fate put her on this case or not, solving it will take all of Nora's wits, and maybe a few of Nick's nine lives.

Mostly Good

I enjoyed the characters and the story, but the reader had these odd gaps in speaking. It was VERY annoying at first, but I did somewhat get use to it (not entirely). It detracted from the story. I pray the reader is smoother in future books or that someone else does the reading.

Good Start

This was an entertaining book with interesting characters and a lot of twists and turns. I look forward to the next book.

one thing missing

the book is good but needs a much better narrator. her voice is way too soft.

LOVE NORA AND NICK

I LOVED THE CHARACTERS, THE STORY, THE NARRATION, AND I AM SO EXCITED TO FIND THIS NEW-TO-ME SERIES. NORA IS SMART, CONFIDENT, AND I LOVE THAT SHE WASN'T AFRAID TO WALK AWAY FROM A CAREER TO CONTINUE HER MOTHER'S DREAM - NO REGRETS, SELF PITY, OR EMBARRASSMENT. SHE IS STRONG WITHOUT BEING BRASH OR ANGRY OR NEEDING TO PROVE ANYTHING TO HERSELF OR ANYONE. THIS IS A PROTAGONIST I COULD ASPIRE TO BE.
