Description: Sarah Grayson, secondhand store owner, and her clever rescue cat Elvis are right on the tail of a criminal in the charming new Second Chance Cat Mystery.
Summer is around the corner and Sarah is making sure the store is stocked and ready for tourist season. But while the weather’s heating up, Sarah gets involved in a case that is decidedly cold, when a man who was linked to a drowning death years ago is found dead himself, on the same stretch of beach. Some of Sarah’s friends from the store knew the victim—and the young woman who drowned—very well and are concerned they could be dragged into the case.
It’s beginning to look like an innocent man may be in prison and that drowning death might in fact be the work of a killer who has struck again. Between Charlotte’s Angels, the group of senior citizen private detectives who operate out of the store, and Elvis’s abilities to sniff out trouble, Sarah won’t let a second chance at catching this purr-petrator pass her by.
Genre: Mystery - Cozy
Why I Picked This Book: This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series so of course I had to pick up this newest book.
My Impression: I really think this series keeps getting better! There's a fairly large cast of characters and they're really hitting their stride and the different personalities are really developed. Elvis especially shone in this book with an extra helping of cat sass.
I really enjoyed the mystery in this book. Not only did a present murder seem to have ties into a past murder but a regular side character had quite a lot of development. The pacing was fantastic as well. Not only did the murder happen fairly quickly in the book but the investigation progresses reasonably quickly. I was hooked in from page one and not only did I enjoy spending time with the characters but I was caught up in the mystery.
I very much enjoyed this book and think it may be my favorite of an already favorite series.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? Of course! I'm looking forward to reading more from this series and from her other book under the Sofie Kelly name.
Would I Recommend this Book? Absolutely! If you're a cozy fan this is a fantastic series - especially if you enjoy an opinionated cat and a solid investigating community.
