Mystery Cats
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


This murderously entertaining collection assembles 16 purr-fect tales of crime and cats by some of today's best mystery writers. Lilian Jackson Braun's charming Siamese SuSu is the first to smell a rat in a chilling tale of two spinster sisters and an eccentric neighbor. Edward D. Hoch's favorite thief, Nick Velvet, accepts a commission to catnap a pampered pet named Sparkle and ends up a whisker a way from death. Ruth Rendell leads an unwary motorist up the garden path to an elderly cat owner's cottage, giving a sinister twist to the old maxim "and eye for an eye". These along with 13 other purebred stories of felines and felonies, make for spell binding reading for mystery fans and cat lovers alike.
