THE CAT, THE QUILT AND THE CORPSE By Leann Sweeney

I love cats, quilting was a former passion, and who doesn't like a good mystery.

Leann Sweeney’s first book in her new Cats in Trouble series was truly enjoyable.The characters are realistic and relatable, the cats are truly stars in this book, and the plot is well thought out.  The Cat Trivia within the story are little added gifts.  (I did not know a group of kittens was call a “kindle”, I thought a kindle was the new electronic gadget for reading books.)

Jillian and John Hart move to Mercy, S.C. where everyone knows everything about everybody, or do they?

John dies all too soon and leaves Jillian with their three cats, Merlot, Chablis, and Syrah and her quilting business, knowing almost none of her neighbors. When she returns from an overnight business trip she finds her home has been broken into and one of her beloved cats is missing. After reporting the break-in and the missing cat, she knows the police are not going to be of any help to find her cat and realizes she must look for him herself. While searching for her cat she also finds a corpse, and her investigation is just beginning, not only is she going to meet her neighbors, she’s going to find out one of them is a murderer.

This sounds like a nice cosy mystery, something a cat lover would love. A group of kittens is a kindle that is an interesting tit bit, what is a collective noun for a group of cats I wonder. I have three cats and I think of them as the tribe but there must be an official collective noun somewhere.

Thanks so much for the wonderful review! And Book pusher, group of cats, btw, is a clowder. That's in the book somewhere!

Glad you posted your link on Facebook so I could find you.
