Small-town librarian Kathleen Paulson gets plenty of entertainment from her extraordinary cats, Owen and Hercules. But when a theatre troupe stumbles into more tragedy than it bargained for, it’s up to Kathleen to play detective....
With her sort-of boyfriend Marcus calling it quits and her ex-boyfriend Andrew showing up out of the blue, Kathleen has more than enough drama to deal with—and that’s before a local theatre festival relocates to Mayville Heights. Now the town is buzzing with theatre folk, and many of them have their own private dramas with the director, Hugh Davis.
When Davis is found shot to death by the marina, he leaves behind evidence of blackmail and fraud, as well as an ensemble of suspects. Now Kathleen, with a little help from her feline friends Owen and Hercules, will have to catch the real killer before another victim takes a final curtain call.
My Thoughts :
Final Catcall is the fifth installment in the Magical Cats Mysteries. While the fourth book wasn't my favourite of the bunch, I have to say that this one was even worse. Now it wasn't bad, should have given up and I am writing a bad review but the series started off better, the plot this time around was boring and I kept losing interest.
As this series continues I have to wonder why this is labeled with the series name 'Magical Cats' because despite there being two cats that are a little magical, they are absent most of the story and hardly do anything. The whole magical cat angle hasn't been explored, in my opinion, to its full potential and the series title is slightly misleading. There are two things that have kept me coming back for more, one being the 'will they or won't they' in regards to Kathleen and Marcus and the other is the expectation regarding the Magical Cats.
This time around the murder mystery plot was slightly boring but it was nice to have Kathleen's mother come visit. Although I felt the story ended without closing that aspect of the story. Also the appearance of someone from Kathleen's past was interesting, especially with her decision of whether she wants to stay Mayville Heights or not still not decided. There was enough in the story to keep me going but Final Catcall was weak plot wise
I will keep up with the series, I do enjoy listening to this one, However I think I will take a little break and come back in a few months.
