Two Tall Tails

GIVEAWAY

TWO TALL TAILS

Two delightful stories -- one each from the New York Times bestselling Magical Cat and Second Chance Cat mystery series.

The Cat Burglar 
A Magical Cats Mystery Novella

Kathleen Paulson has her hands full in Mayville Heights, Minnesota, running the public library, and taking care of her two uncanny cats, Hercules and Owen. Kathleen's good friend Maggie says items are being stolen from the local artists' co-op. She doesn't want to call the police because the main suspects are all close friends. Luckily, Kathleen and her faithful felines are there to put paws on the truth!

No More Pussyfooting Around
A Second Chance Cat Mystery Novella
Sarah Grayson lives in charming North Harbor, Maine, where she owns the Second Chance shop and sells beautifully refurbished items, but she's also given a second chance to black cat Elvis. Sarah and her friend Edmund Harris are having some issues with a nephew of a neighbor. With the neighbor recovering from a suspicious fall in the hospital, her nephew is being openly hostile and suspiciously secretive. Is he just a pain in the neck, or actually a threat to his aunt? Sarah and Elvis are on the case.

My Review:

These are two of my favourite cozy mystery series so I was thrilled to find Hercules, Owen and Elvis sharing the pages of the same book! And that's not all they share -- I just discovered that Sofie Kelly and Sofie Ryan are the same author! What sweet, purrfection! (And explains my penchant for both series.) But don't worry if you are new to these cozies --- both novellas can be enjoyed as standalone reads. In fact they make a great introduction to the foibles and fun of these sleuthing felines.

These kitties are positively uncatty! Hercules and Owen of Magical Cats fame have very unique gifts -- like walking through walls or pulling a (literal) disappearing act which often comes in handy when Kathleen is sleuthing. And Second Chance Cat's Elvis has the ability to reveal if someone is lying which is just what Sarah needs when she's in pursuit of a villain! Nothing like a quirky cat (or two) to liven up a cozy mystery!

Pawsitively delightful!

Sidenote: I listened to the audible version and loved the narrations of both Cassandra Campbell and Marguerite Gavin. Both narrators have been consistent with each series so it feels like catching up with old friends when I start listening. So grateful that they made an audio version of Two Tall Tails since it's only been released in ebook format and I don't read ebooks. Now I can happily say I am current on both series now and anxiously awaiting further adventures of Hercules and Owen and Elvis.
