Book Review of The Cat, the Devil, the Last Escape (Lee Fontana, Bk 2)

The Cat, the Devil, the Last Escape (Lee Fontana, Bk 2)
reviewed on


A ghost cat, the Devil, a deceitful criminal, a father framed for murder, and a vulnerable young girl combine in this magical tale from the award-winning, critically acclaimed author of the Joe Grey feline mysteries, Shirley Rousseau Murphy, and her husband Pat J.J. Murphy.
The Devil has been up to no good . . .
Brad Falon, one of Satans longtime puppets, orchestrated a deadly robbery and set up his old friend Morgan Blake to take the fall. Now, Morgan has been sentenced to life in prison, and his wife Becky and young daughter Sammie are devastated. Alone and afraid, in need of comfort and a friend, Sammie turns to Misto, the ghost cat.
Behind bars, her father Morgan makes fast friends with an old con named Lee Fontana who knows a few tricks about outwitting evil. They plan a wily escape to bring the real killer to justice and clear Morgans name for good. All it will take is outsmarting the Devil one more time. . . .

This was truly an intriguing book. It took me a bit of time to get into it (and had I read any of the others in the series I might have done better.) but, once I got started, I just couldnt put the book down and truly enjoyed it! The characters were all super human, interesting and very believable the little girl was just astounding and has abilities that could be helpful to every person alive. How the cat, the prisoner and Samantha all interplay makes a wonderful story! The ending made me most pleased and happy! I'm off to find others by these authors! There are not enough stars to rate this book!
