About the Book
Synopsis from Goodreads:
A charming cozy mystery with a delightful twist: The detectives are three kittens with magical powers, determined to solve a most purr-plexing case.
Precocious kittens Bippity, Boppity, and Boop are exceedingly loyal to their human, the 28-year-old mediocre magician Mila. She saved them from starving to death in a dingy Corvin’s Crossing alleyway and has been nothing but loving ever since, even though her own life is in shambles.
So when Mila’s sketchy boyfriend and business manager turns up dead at the end of her big magic show—she’s the prime suspect. With evidence mounting, there’s nothing stopping the sheriff from hauling away Mila to the human pound. Unless the kittens can solve the crime and clear her name.
The kittens will have to use their dubious control over the laws of physics and every whisker of know-how they’ve got to catch the real killer if they want to save their happy home with Mila. This is one meow-stery more tangled than any ball of yarn they’ve encountered yet.
My Review
Magician Mila MacAllister is getting ready to go on stage and perform her magic show. This could be her big chance to make a name for herself. When she discovers a box of three abandoned kittens, Mila decides to adopt them and name them Bippity, Boppity and Boop. She loves them already.
Mila is shocked when her nasty ex-boyfriend/manager turns up dead at the end of her show. All evidence points to murder. The police are quick to suspect Mila and make sure she pays for the crime. Mila insists she didn’t do anything wrong. She’s innocent. She has nothing to worry about since her new kitties are on the job and determined to prove her innocence.
When I first saw the names of the three kittens, I thought this might be a children’s book. It isn’t. It’s a full-length murder mystery complete with many clues and quite a few twists and turns along the way. I enjoyed trying to solve the case along with the kitties. The kitties do not verbally converse with the humans, but they do communicate with each other and other animals.
It’s a fast-paced mystery. I was surprised at the ending. I don’t know if this is the beginning of a new series or a standalone, but I’m hoping for a series. I liked all the characters involved, especially the kitties. I think this will appeal to cat lovers and mystery fans.
