I purchased this book because the author, Miranda James, came up as recommended due to other books I have bought. And I like cats...
I read quite a bit, especially mysteries and crime novels, but with some romance thrown in as well. So you know my tastes, I read books by James Patterson, Charlaine Harris, MaryJanice Davidson, M.C. Beaton, Sophie Kinsella, Julia Quinn and many others.
It took me about 2 days to read this book. The story flows well and is interesting without being too complicated. Usually I give the first in a series, or a debut novel by the author, a lot of leeway as they normally aren't the best they can do. Was refreshing not to have to do that with this one. There is no foul language and only a small amount of violence, barely any blood and gore. It's easily a book I could give my mother to read.
The characters are easy to get to know and keep track of and yet when I was done, I wanted to know more about them and was looking forward to getting the next book to see how they progress. I was sorely disappointed to find that the 2nd book isn't out yet - but soon! - and have that pre-ordered now.

If you like cozy mysteries, are interested in books and like cats then this is one for you, I read it in a single sitting and then promptly ordered then next in the series.

always enjot the world of miranda james cat in the stacks. A really good plot that keeps you guessing and a beautiful cat included for us cat lovers.
