In the first book of the Witches Cats of Cambridge, there are three siblings cats that have the power to various things. Harriet, the oldest can grabs objects from the ether, Laura is able to put thoughts in a person mind and Clara is able to walk through doors, walls and make herself invisible. Most of the story is narrated from Clara's perspective. I was very disappointed in the story as I found it very confusing and I was not able to connect with any of the characters. I could not separate th ...more

This was so not my cup of herbal witch tea.
I should have known. No, I did know but something about a cute mystery with witches and cats just seemed appealing at the time. I'd been reading too much heavy stuff and wanted something light, I suppose, and cats + witches are always of interest so I gave it a shot.
That was a poor choice on my part.

That was a poor choice on my part.

Recap:
Becca, a young woman who has adopted three sister cats (littermates, I think) who are old-family witches, is trying to do witchcraft, herself, because she's joined a local coven full of people who are not actually magical. The fluffy, lazy cat (Harriet...sweet Harriet) who likes to eat all the time happens to conjure herself a pillow at the very moment Becca is casting a spell so, naturally, Becca assumes her magic worked and she calls the coven together to celebrate her witchiness and there's cake and a cake knife and some dithering dire discussion that never materializes. Then there's death by said cake knife and a hot house painter and a hot warlock and bitchy witches who aren't witches and the three sister cats who are witches and a lot of illogical conversations. Becca becomes the prime suspect in the murder with a cake knife! Slinky, sultry cat who also likes to eat (Laurel) gets in the way of proving Becca didn't do it but loving, devoted calilco (Clara) wants to make sure her somewhat stupid but sweet person who saved them from the pound, a fact her two cat sisters do not seem to appreciate even though Clara totally understands how lucky they are, does everything in her limited power (her power is to phase through doors and walls and look invisible so she can follow Becca around town) to keep Becca...safe? Or maybe just make sure she has all the real details in case a detective learns to speak cat and wants to use her as a witness. I don't know, my tolerance for the story ebbed really quickly.

The writing needs some serious editing, my Red Pen Fingers were so twitchy throughout. I solemnly read to the halfway mark, hoping a story would emerge but I started choking on all the superfluous, repetitive descriptors and had to skim the rest of the way. I don't even remember the resolution, now, because I just needed to get this done and back to the library.

Some early inconsistencies:
The cover is wrong. That's no fault of the author's unless the author looked at the cover and went, "YES! That's exactly how this should look! It's PERFECT!"
So the knife on the front should probably be a serrated cake knife (which was an implausible murder weapon at the scene of the crime), the pendant should probably be a crystal teardrop unless we're going by the witch's knot the warlock wears in which case it's still wrong because that's a Celtic knot pictured. There were no yellow tulips - this takes place in May so it's probably a little late for tulips. There was tea and the teapot wasn't described (which is a surprise) so that's correct enough and that could be the calico cat in question but...
...a gray patch over her one eye and an orange one over the other. (p. 10)
same cat, different description: ...both her green eyes - the one in the black patch and the one in the orange... (p. 46)
So who really knows which color scheme this calico has. She could be standard or she could be diluted. Hell, she could even be a tortie at this point. Crazy cat ladies are going to be peeved by this, I think.
There were more problems. I didn't write them down.

I did, however, note to myself that the it's absolutely ridiculous how everyone and everything is constantly described. Becca is the pretty brunette, the petite woman, the dark-haired girl, the small creature. Her friend is full-bodied, plump, etc. Everyone is reintroduced when they come onto the page with some new description.
In addiction, Becca blushes a LOT but just as often, her face drains of all color and she goes pale. She spends many pages crying, as well. The blood vessels in her face get a serious workout in this story.

I really ought not to have read this one. I hated it. However, there are readers who will think this is delightful and I hope those readers find this book and they all fall in love with Clara and Becca, with the evil catsisters and the uncaring coven of witches who aren't witches and enjoy the murder mystery and go on to collect all the books in the series and live happily ever after. ...more

The idea of the book was really awesome, cats who really were magical and talked to each other while their human thought she was a witch because of something one of the cats conjured up. I honestly felt confused the whole time I was reading, since a lot of the human dialogue consisted of who was dating which person. The back-and-forth dialogue between the cats, then the humans speaking had me needing to reread parts just to figure out what was going on at that moment. To me, it seemed like the m ...more

Series: Witch Cats of Cambridge - Book 1
Author: Clea Simon
Genre: Cozy/Witch Mystery
Publisher: Polis Books

Clea Simon can write a good story, her books are normally interesting and well put together. Unfortunately, A Spell of Murder from Polis Books http://www.polisbooks.com/ isn’t a winner. Although a unique idea, the book is told mainly from the perspective of three magical cats, it simply doesn’t give the reader enough insight into the m human character, Becca’s life and who she is. The story is a bit confusing, the action is practically non-existent, and Becca is far too meek to be a good lead or a likable one. There are times throughout the story when the reader has the urge to grab Becca and shake some sense into her.

The cats have distinct characteristics, but only the youngest, Clara is truly stimulating. The other two cats are self-centered and downright “bitchy.” They don’t care about their human and care even less about their younger sibling who appears to be the only one of the three that worries about their owner and what will happen to the three of them if she is sent away. If they were human, they would be the mean girls from high school. This might be a good combination for the story in the long run but can make it difficult for the reader to enjoy their antics and get past this first story.

The actual murder is interesting but was also predictable. It was clear almost from the beginning who the killer would turn out to be. However, the motive is a bit underwhelming. It is hoped that the first book in a new series would be stronger and more memorable. Many readers may well toss this book never to pick it up again. Regrettably, I cannot recommend A Spell of Murder. Perhaps the series if it continues will evolve and grow and become more exciting and more worthy of its author. ...more

I really struggled to get through this book. I only kept reading to find out the killer, and was rather disappointed. It was difficult to keep all the characters -cats and humans- straight. This was especially challenging when there was dialogue. I also found the characters to be bland and the plot was slow and boring. I doubt I will read any future books in this series.

In this latest outing, the cats are again front and center, and this time they are witch cats.

In this latest outing, the cats are again front and center, and this time they are witch cats. They’ve confused their owner, Becca, who is a fledgling member of a coven – one of them made a pillow appear out of thin air and Becca thinks she’s done it herself, as does the rest of her coven.

The cats are a little disgusted by this but the three of them – adopted by Becca – have a mission to protect and care for her and their powers are many and varied. They range from the very real cat talent of comforting their owners to the talents of making things appear, controlling thoughts, and walking through walls, the better to track Becca undetected.

Becca is troubled – she’s lost her job, she struggling to “re-create” her supposed spell, and she’s oh so unlucky in love. She has an ex, a warlock in her coven who’s putting the moves on her, and a nice housepainter she meets when one of the members of her coven is discovered (by her) with a knife in her throat.

Simon’s witty way of sketching in characters and tight way with a plot serve her well, as she dishes up a charming story that’s never too scary but does have some actual menace to it. The members of the coven are especially delicious, and while they could have been written as total satire, it’s obvious Simon is actually fond of all of her characters to some degree and the affection she feels for them – and for the cats – shines through on every page of this delightful book.

In general I object to a story where the animals are the narrators and yet I’m a huge fan of Spencer Quinn’s dog, and the same applies here – Beca’s cats seem to think like actual cats might. As cats are some of the more mysterious animals to share space with us humans, anything that shines a light on their behavior is more than welcome. Thanks, Ms. Simon! ...more

Which leads to all sort As the blurb describes, Becca is a young woman going through some rough times - she lost her job around the same time her boyfriend broke up with her - but she has one huge benefit that she doesn’t realize: she owns three magical cats. And these aren’t just your average magical cats (for all cats have some magic), but witch cats. When Harriet, a lazy creamcicle cat concerned more about treats and dinner than anything else, conjures up a pillow, Becca thinks she’s done it. Which leads to all sorts of problems, including murder. Clara,the youngest (by a few minutes) of the three cats and the closest to Becca, feels obligated to protect Becca and help her solve the case.

What I really loved about this book is that it’s told from Clara’s point of view. She’s able to follow Becca, so we get to see the action, so to speak, but we don’t get insight to all of Becca’s thoughts. Becca is a researcher, so she’s always googling stuff; Clara watches her, but can’t read, so we only get to see the pictures, for example, of the web search Becca does of her great grandmother (who incidentally had Clara’s foremother as a pet); we get to see there’s a connection, but don’t get the full details right away. I’m hoping it’ll be revealed over the series. I also love how Clara’s journey seems to be echoing Becca’s. Both start off seeming very young, but start to grow into their powers, so to speak. Becca gains some strength and independence, for example, when she finally walks away from her ex-boyfriend, while Clara starts to suspect she has other strengths, like being able to suggest things to people as well has her sister Laurel can.

The mystery itself was a little on the light side I felt; the motive just seemed thin. Yes, there were some clues pointing to it, but it seemed a little unbelievable to me. Maybe I need to re-read the book to find what I missed? And I felt like a few of the main characters were flat; I never felt like I got to know Becca's best friend Maddy, for example. However, given how much I liked Clara, her sisters, and Becca, I’m looking forward to future books.
