Canapes for the Kitties

Resumen del Editor

The outcry when Arthur Conan Doyle pushed Sherlock Holmes over the Reichenbach Falls and the dismay when Freeling shot Van der Valk are as nothing compared to the chaos that ensues when Lorinda Lucas tries to dispose of Miss Petunia and her siblings, Lily and Marigold. Not only does the lid blow off the fictional village of St. Waldemar Boniface, but the literary colony of Brimful Coffers is shaken to its foundations.

Old feuds are resurrected and new feuds are born as a town full of mystery writers begins to wonder if Life has imitated Art or vice versa. Even the cats, Had-I, But-Known, and Roscoe, become embroiled and add their share to the motives for murder and frayed nerves in the community.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Nadia May composes a lighthearted narration of feline and human happenings. With enticing charm and a bit of satire, she voices the intrigue, fear, and frivolity by which characters collectively attempt to sniff out a killer." (AudioFile)

Giggled out loud

I giggled out loud all the way through it. Hilarious character names, smart and funny takes on mystery clichés, a wonderful listen. And the cats are lovely.

unusual

Unusual story. A little hard to follow for me. The good part was a complete surprise ending.

jumping around

I didn't like how it kept jumping around to the book she was writing to her surrounding
.

Written by someone who knows how!

So well written - if you enjoy detailed, imaginative narratives this one will work for you.

Good story but

Good story but at times it just failed to engage. Overall it’s a neat lighthearted mystery to read/listen to nothing fancy or difficult to figure out.

well-read but sordid

didn't finish this book. glad I didnt pay for it. a little too blood thirsty in parts. some funny dialog and comedy. confusing at times switching back and forth from the book the main character is writing to her actual life events. not much moral fiber...I didn't actually like or admire the characters. who are the good guys? why do I want to give them my allegance?

Funny

I am really enjoying this series. Those crazy people and their pets. Nadia may has done a terrific job of narrating. It can't be easy making all those cat noises. I found the story very interesting and humorous. I really like the characters.

Took me awhile

The narrator was excellent!
it was good I got lost in the beginning ... mainly because I did not realize they were Authors and they were excerpts from their own books. After that got sorted out I enjoyed it!
Good plot line, nice twist and lead into it.

Good

This book was good, it's about a lot of author's and their pets , funny throughout the story, there is mystery, humor and craziness, got a little lost in some of the chapters , then understood it was about the charters that the authors were writing about . Overall it was very entertaining.

Very slow start

This started soooo slowly. The majority of the book was background. The voices weren’t always consistent. Macho and Freddie, in particular, often were mixed up. A couple of the voices were grating and I couldn’t wait until those characters left the scene. Overall, I’m glad I stuck with the book and will listen to the next one. If the glacial pace continues in the second book, though, I won’t continue to the third.
