The Sixth Cat Groomer Mystery
As Halloween draws ever closer things are getting scary in Chadwick, New Jersey. Some things are scary fun, like cat groomer Cassie McGlone's idea to have a werewolf look alike contest for pets to drive traffic to the town's newly renovated movie theatre and her friend Dawn's booking of a psychic to give readings at her store. Then there's the frightening reality of the robbery at the animal clinic. It appears a drug ring is operating in town and everyone at the clinic is under a cloud of suspicion. When a local young woman dies of an overdose Cassie decides to get involved. Soon Cassie will have more than unruly cats and her ancient heating system to worry about. Will she make it through Halloween unscathed?
The sixth Cat Groomer Mystery delves into modern societal issues such as drug abuse and its dangers, including drink spiking, while highlighting majestic Maine Coon cats. It's a sophisticated mystery that still is plenty of fun.
Cassie is a team player and I like how she works with her friends and the police. In the pursuit of the truth she may go a bit too far, but generally she is intelligent about her actions and tries to cover her bases. The relationship between Cassie and Mark makes me smile, and I admit I thought he was about to give her something different at the end of the story. Despite Cassie's skepticism, I love the appearance of Ripley Van Eyck and I hope he comes back in future books.
With thrills, chills, and charming cats, Halloween themed NIGHT OF THE WERE-CAT is a delight to read at any time of the year.
