Stable Cat

I found this book in a library on board a cruise ship. It was the purrfect book to lie in the sun and read while crusing. I have read all the books in this series and wish there were more.

Big Mike is on the prowl again! He is the ultimate purrivate eye, with his macho-ism and his keen observation of the human goings on around him. In these books, the cat "detective" is really a bystander, but his contribution is great nonetheless. His human, Penelope Warren really does the detecting. She wouldn't be able to do it without the help and protection of Big Mike. These books are fast moving and have a lot of unusual interchange among the human characters. This is a worthy addition to the cat detective genre.

I proudly list "Stable Cat" among my very favorite books, Mr. Allen has done it again. There is never a dull moment in the life of Ms. Penelope Warren, all of the characters are life-like, fresh, new...I am so happy that finally there is another type of murder-mystery besides the gloomy, dead-serious world of Agatha Christie. This book deserves more than five stars, I have read it twice and plan on reading it again.

I love Mikey and the person he owns. I've read all so far and can't wait til the next one comes out. The Mikey and Penelope books are easy to read. And very funny. At least once every book I find myself laughing out loud and tears running down my cheeks. The characters are one of a kind.They are outragous, lovable, contemptable, and very very strange. Enjoyable reads when you just want to kick back and get some fun out of reading with a little mystery thrown in.
