Paws to Remember: 06/03/24

Paws to Remember by Sofie Kelly and Casandra Campbell (Narrator) (2023) is the fifteenth book in the Magical Cats mystery series. This is another cold case mystery with a body discovered between walls as we've seen in The Walled Flower by Lorraine Bartlett (2012) and Murder in a Cape Cottage by Maddie Day (2022). This time it's a young woman who went missing in the early 1990s.

I remember as a child, a character's blood type being a key bit of evidence either for finding a long lost parent or discovering the identity of a murderer. This mystery brings back the blood phenotype plot, but in a very rare type, Cis-AB. It's so rare that I hadn't heard of it before, nor seen it used in a book. It left me skeptical until I looked it.

Mostly, though, the mystery is a question of what happened to a pregnant high school senior and how did her daughter end up in the next town over? Ignoring the explanation of how the now adult daughter is the murdered woman's child, the murder mystery itself is fairly easy to solve. I certainly did well before Kathleen did.

The next book is Furever After (2024)

Five stars
