A sweet tabby cat named Sunbeam.

A vandalized sunflower farm outside Austin.

A sinister plot lurking beneath the sunny Hill Country fields.

But beneath his cheerful exterior, Sunbeam is heartbroken—his owner Marigold Taylor was mysteriously murdered at her beloved sunflower farm in the Texas Hill Country.

As Ellie and Evie dig deeper, they uncover a tangled web of jealousy, betrayal, and hidden agendas as twisted as a rattlesnake—but as they navigate the twisting rows of suspects and motives, Ellie and Evie find themselves in the crosshairs of a killer determined to keep their secrets buried under the Lone Star soil.

Can they expose the murderer before the sun sets on the farm—and their lives?

Join Ellie, Evie, and their feline friends in “Sunbeam, Sunflowers, and Sabotage”, the eighth installment of the Silver Circle Cat Rescue Mysteries, where every cat has a Texas-sized tale to tell and every sunflower field hides a Hill Country mystery.

Superhero Cats to the Rescue!

This series keeps getting better with each book! This group of amateur sleuths and the rest of the gang that are in each book, are so much fun! This mystery involves the murder of Marigold, who is a sunflower gardener as well as researcher.  The list of people that may have killed her was growing by the day and Ellie and Landon were on the job trying to solve the murder.  Lots of action, mystery and finger pointing in this book. Especially loved all of the time spent with the rest of the family, friends and cats in the shelter.  There were a lot of twists and turns in this book and it was a lot of fun when the cats came to the rescue!  Meghan Kelly did an awesome job narrating this story. She is so amazing with all the voices that you would think that there were multiple people narrating this book.  I would definitely recommend this book and the entire series!  I can’t wait until the next audiobook comes out!

another out of the park hit

another out of the park hit in Sunbeam sunflowers and sabotage. can't get enough of the silver circle. cat rescue characters are all believable. the cats are perfect. as a matter of fact, the cats are what really make this series just top notch. if you haven't read this series before, it's time to grab the first book and dig in.
but on to this book this book starts with Marigold, the plant researcher and some possible world-changing research that gets stolen. after her dead body is found, the silver circle cat rescue gets involved. we get some new characters and many beloved old ones return. we see new twist with how the plate can do work and what it can do. let's see if you can get one step ahead of this author and know who done it ahead of time cuz she's good at keeping it hidden till the last minute of the book. our favorite narrator. Megan, Kelly knocked it out of the park with the voices and narration again on this one. voices are perfect and consistent. easy to tell. who is who?. can't say enough good things about her narration. if nothing else, if she's narrated it, give the book a try. it will be worth it

Fabulous Cozy Mystery!!!!

This is the 8th book in this series. This one is my favorite it was over too fast. I can't wait for the next one. I love checking in on all the cats and new ones and when they talk I think that's the cutest thing ever. Meghan Kelly did a stellar job with narration. I highly recommend this book and series

Absolutely Fantastic Book & Series

The Silver Circle Cat Rescue Mysteries series by Leanne Leeds is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. The characters Ellie, Evie, Landon, Matt, Mario and the rest of the friends/family are described and written to perfection. The characters are so realistic, relatable and believable and interact like real people. The cats all have their own personalities as well. As a long time cat owner I can attest to Ms. Leeds’s description of all the cats’ descriptions, attitudes and interactions are also spot on!

This book involves Marigold, a sunflower farm owner who is murdered and her plant research is stolen. There are suspects galore, including her sister, fiancee, a beekeeper, psychic and an oil company. Marigold’s discoveries could be an environmental boom, but greed rears its head. Ellie and team of friends get involved because she discovered the murdered woman and rescued her cat. It gets more personal for the group when one of their own disappears. I was beside myself when the unthinkable happened, that I sadly thought it was the end. But, as always, the entire team rallies and Table Rock is a sleepy town again, thanks to the magical Silver Circle Cat Rescue!

I cannot say enough superlatives about the narration by Meghan Kelly. She creates unique voices, accents, inflections, etc, for all the characters, both human and animal that 100% fit their written descriptions. Ms. Kelly’s performance is fantastic and the voices of the characters and cats absolutely match their personalities, level of sarcasm, sweetness, etc. Her ability of perform a range of voices in age, gender, accent is so astoundingly impressive. It is almost impossible to believe it’s only one supremely talented person narrating this book. She may be magical herself!

Funny and entreating

This book in the series is also fascinating. This time, we get the chance to discover even more fascinating details about the magnificent Belladonna and magic platter. This is the moment when cats can now join a detective squad, and they are excellent at it.

Even though it is awful when an innocent person is killed, you feel immensely satisfied when the murderer is apprehended and brought to justice.

As usual, the narrator, Meghan Kelly, was excellent. Because each character had a distinct voice and personality, the story was a pleasure to listen to.
