The Cat Who Sang for the Birds by Lilian Jackson Braun

2.0

You know, these books are so funny. The lull you in with a cozy, mostly ordered world, where things always work out okay, actually more than okay, for our hero and his feline compatriots, but really horrible things happen. Two murders in this book; the first, a murder and arson combo so the poor, unfortunate soul does not leave much behind. Never you mind that it's a salt-of-the earth nonagenarian farmer who takes in stray animals. She must die a horrible death. Then, another character, who is a victim of domestic abuse, ends up brutally murdered, and her body hidden for about 24 hours, and then crashed in a car in an attempt to hide the crime. Yet, this is a cozy. Boggles the mind a bit, but I am as guilty as the rest. I read these an enjoyable break in between more complex texts, what does that say about me?
