Description:  Kathleen is busy running the library and planning her upcoming wedding to detective Marcus Gordon when she suddenly stumbles across a body in the library. She is surprised to learn that the deceased was in the middle of an unlikely heist—it seems he was trying to steal one of the paintings that had been in a box in the library’s workroom. Kathleen never knew any of the library’s rotating artwork was valuable and can’t imagine what the dead man wanted with it.

But then an art history expert called in by the police identifies the almost-purloined painting as a piece that might have been part of a previous high profile art theft. Owen’s and Hercules’s whiskers are already twitching, and events soon make Kathleen realize that whoever killed the wannabe art thief has more than murder on their mind. Kathleen and her clever cats will have to work fast to prevent anyone else from getting hurt.

Genre: Mystery - Cozy

Why I Picked This Book:  This series has been on my TBR for ages and the blurb of this one really caught my attention so I thought I'd give it a try.

My Impression:  I love the books this author writes under her Sofie Ryan series and have been meaning to try this series for ages.  I'm so glad I finally picked this one up.  This was such a fun read! Kathleen is in the middle of wedding preparations when a bit of her past comes back to haunt her.  Specifically a person from her past is found dead on the library floor in front of a painting that may have a mysterious history.  

This is definitely a series best read in order as there are a lot of characters that have a lot of connections.  That said, even though I'm jumping in with this book I was able to appreciate the relationships and enjoy the interactions.  It made me want to go back to the beginning of the series and meet Kathleen, Marcus, Roma, and all the rest of the community at the beginning.  I also really loved the cats.  Hercules and Owen have powers but for the most part they're powers I think anyone with cats would recognize - and wonder if their cats might have a power or two as well!

The mystery really kept me entertained and I flew through this book.  I have thoroughly enjoyed every book in this author's series under Sofie Ryan and I am adding the Sofie Kelly Magical Cat series to my series list to get started on reading from the very beginning.

Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Absolutely!  I'm really excited to start this series from the beginning.

Would I Recommend this Book? If you enjoy cozy mysteries with books and cats this is a series that you must try.  If all the books are as enjoyable as this one you're in for a treat.
