Copycat Killing by Sofie Kelly is the third book in the “Magical Cats” mystery series. Publisher: Berkley Prime Crime, May 2012
It’s been raining cats and dogs in Mayville
Heights. The small town’s been deluged, and now the local artists’ co-op is on
the verge of flooding. Kathleen has been working hard to help her friends move
their creations to the safety of the upstairs studio. The artwork
survives, but when controversial mask-maker Jaeger Merrill is found drowned in
the co-op basement, Kathleen questions whether the death was accidental. With
the help of handsome detective Marcus Gordon—and her cats’ extraordinary powers
of detection—it’s up to Kathleen to unmask a killer.
This was a good read. Dead bodies seems to find Kathleen when first she falls down an embankment and then finds one drowned in basement. Are the two incidents connected, despite being years apart? Is the drowning accidental or murder? That is what I faced as this book became a page-turner that I could not put down. The author did a good job in keeping me guessing in this mystifying whodunit. The story boasts a strong heroine who is making her own way in her newly adopted town, two friendly felines who are a whiz at communicating and a supporting cast that rounds out this charmingly terrific series and with that ending, I can’t wait for the next book in this lighthearted tale.
