The Cats Came Back: 08/10/23

The Cats Came Back by Sofie Kelly and Cassandra Campbell (2018) is the tenth book in the Magical Cats mystery series. Mayville Heights, Minnesota is hosting a music festival. Of course, there will be trouble and of course there will be a murder.

A highly talented singer known for her arias has come along with her sister and manager. While out on a photoshoot with Hercules and Owen, Kathleen and her artist friend, Ruby, find the body of who they believe was the singer.

What follows is a convoluted mystery to figure out who committed the crime and why. The mystery, though, kind of gets lost in the middle of the slice of life aspects of the novel: Ruby's photoshoot with the cats and Roma's upcoming wedding.

I really wish weddings, especially of side characters, could happen in between books. Especially here, it seems that the wedding cut into the actual reason I was reading, namely the mystery! Instead I find myself able to remember everything about the photoshoot and the wedding and barely anything about the murder and investigation.

The eleventh book is A Night's Tail (2019).

Four stars
