A Night’s Tail by Sofie Kelly is the eleventh A Magical Cats Mystery and a joy to read. I like the author’s casual and engaging writing style. I was quickly drawn into this cute cozy mystery with librarian, Kathleen Paulson and her two magical cats, Hercules and Owen. The beginning with Mary is hysterical (I do not want to spoil it for you). Kathleen’s brother, Ethan is visiting town with his band, The Flaming Gerbils. The group recently lost one of its members to art school, so Derek Hanson has been playing with them. Derek ends up the top suspect in a businessman’s murder after having an altercation with him at a bar. Ethan asks Kathleen to prove Derek’s innocence. Kathleen soon finds the victim had a checkered past which leads to multiple suspects. There are good clues to help readers in solving the whodunit before Kathleen zeros in on her quarry. The cats help guide Kathleen along the way and provide some pivotal clues. There are charming cozy moments as Kathleen spends time with brother, enjoys outings with friends, plans a quilt show at the library, dates with her boyfriend, and interacts with her cats. Owen and Hercules are cute and clever felines. I like how Kathleen talks to them (uses them as a sounding board) and they respond with their little noises. Owen, of courses, manages to dismember a catnip chicken or two (he is addicted to catnip much to his brother’s disgust). Kathleen finds it is time to tell Marcus about his feline’s special ability, but she is not sure how he will react to the news. If you are new to A Magical Cats Mystery series, I recommend reading Curiosity Thrilled the Cat first. It will provide you with needed background information. I wish there had been less repetition of case details as Kathleen shares what she has uncovered with others and discusses the case with her cats. I had to laugh when Kathleen called Owen and Hercules “two mooching furballs” as they tried to acquire human food from Ethan (I had a cat like that). A Night’s Tail is a spellbinding tale with a catnip chicken catastrophe, quilt show quandaries, a cookie calamity, and a busy brother with a bothersome bandmate.
Rating: 3Kathleen’s brother Ethan has arrived for a visit, combining business with pleasure. His band, The Flaming Gerbils, is touring. But it’s not all fun times, because a businessman ends up dead following an altercation with one of the band members. Ethan asks Kathleen to find the murderer, and clear his band mate, even though her very capable boyfriend Marcus might solve it first, being that he is a detective. And ever present are her two magical cats, and following not far behind is Marcus’s little cat Micah, although Marcus is not yet aware of her special talent. This series continues to be a delight with every new tale, entertaining in every way.
Rating: 5A pleasant entry in the long-running Magical Cats series. When an obnoxious businessman is killed and Kath's brother's bandmate is briefly suspected, she determines to investigate. Owen and Hercules are their usual helpful, inscrutable selves.
Rating: 4Kathleen’s brother and his band The Flaming Gerbils are in her small Minnesota town. The newest member of the band has a run-in with a fellow who kicks a service dog. Kathleen later finds a body and she (along with her magical cats, Hercules and Owen) are swept into the investigation. A light, cozy mystery perfect for a summer read.
