Claws for Alarm by Cate Conte
4.0
Claws for Alarm is the fifth book in the Cat Cafe Mystery series and while not a cat person, I find that I really enjoy the series. The characters are well-written and diverse. There is someone for all readers to relate to and enjoy. Maddie has settled into her new life and I think readers can see that as the series has progressed. I would love to see someone introduced in terms of a relationship with Maddie's grandfather. I like that Maddie is stubborn and at times a bit impetuous, but I love her passion for protecting rescues and getting them adopted.
The book has a good pace and it kept me turning pages. There are a number of outsiders introduced in this book that impact the identity of the killer and the list of suspects. The author does a great job of crafting some red herrings to distract the reader and in the case of this reader, it worked. I did not guess the killer's identity and this person was nowhere on my radar. I love when an author surprises me when the killer is revealed.
This is a fun, cat-themed cozy mystery that takes the reader on an entertaining trip to Daybreak Island and JJ's House of Purrs. Fan of the series will certainly enjoy this installment.
I voluntarily read a digital advanced reader copy provided by the publisher, St. Martin's Press, through NetGalley. The thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.
