Murder Most Feline: Cunning Tales of Cats and Crime

I love anthologies. Seldom do I read one without finding an author new to me, who then becomes one of my regular's. This book is no exception. As to where the pussycat has been, most of the stars of these stories have been in courtrooms! They've been witnesses for either the prosecution or defense, or perhaps have been the plaintiff or defendant. Cats are very versatile, and if you don't agree, here's a most enjoyable way to be proven wrong. Painless, too. Settings range from the old west to modern day big cities: plots include inheritances, missing heirs, mistaken identities, and even a couple of romantic triangles, complete with jealousy issues. Comedy isn't ignored, either. Whatever, cats are very versatile as demonstrated in these delightful seventeen stories. It would be hard to pick a favorite, however, in my opinion, two of them were perhaps more equal than the others: "Catnip" by Dick Lochte, and "For the Benefit of Bootsy" by Jeremiah Healy.
