School Psychologist Skye Dennison has enough on her hands with her job, engagement to police chief Wally Boyd, and the ghost she is convinced haunts her house. The last thing she needs is to be pulled into one of Bunny Reid's schemes but somehow she is there when Bunny runs a cat show/speed dating event. Skye is convinced this won't turn out well but even she isn't expecting that one of the participants will be murdered. I always like my visits to Scumble River and "Murder of the Cat's Meow" is no different. This book is a nice mixture of murder mystery, humor, and a bit of the paranormal. Skye is one of my favorite characters in a cozy mystery and I love reading the details of her busy overbooked work life. I also love her interactions with the various people in her life, not only Wally but her best friend Trixie Frayne (love that nod to the Trixie Belden series), Bunny, former students Justin and Frannie, and various members of her large family. I also like the haunted house aspects which are more amusing than frightening. Bunny never fails to amuse with her inappropriate clothes and over the top schemes. As for the mystery aspects - the mystery is intricately plotted but not one of my favorites. There are not enough suspects and the identity of the killer seemed to come from nowhere. The plot also relies a bit too much on coincidences and Skye being in the right place at the right time to unveil a major clue. However, I was so caught up in the story that this didn't bother me all that much. "Murder of the Cat's Meow" is another nice entry in Denise Swanson's Scumble River cozy mystery series. Cat's Meow is the 15th book in Scumble River series by Denise Swanson. It's always nice to spend some time in Scumble River visiting with school psychologist Skye Denison. Bunny Reid, ex-Vegas showgirl, has returned to Scumble River and has purchased the local bowling alley. Bunny, Frannie and Justin were sitting around talking about increasing business and the idea of a Cat Show and Speed Dating, they decided would be a big boom. So they go ahead with there plans and things organized. They were even able to get a DJ to volunteer his time for a dance after the Speed Dating. Things seemed well in hand, but Alexis, the judge for the cat show portion, alienated a lot of the owners with her flippant attitude towards their cats and before the night is over she is found in the basement murdered. Of course no visit to Scumble River would be complete without visiting with the student and school personnel and the Dooziers family. They show up with a bunch of mayhem and good times. The real dilemma that Skye is facing is that she is sure her house is haunted by the ghost of its former owner. Once Skye and Wally, the police chief, are married, they are planning to live in Skye's house. But whenever things start to become "romantically" related, things on the counters start flying around. That's hardly the way to start your married life. A very enjoyable series. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
