Trouble in Action

Trouble Cat Mysteries #10

by Susan Y. Tanner

REENACTORS, VINTAGE WEAPONS, and TWO DEAD BODIES!

Kylah West has faith in her horses and her skill to ride them in a reenactment of the Civil War battle of Albrecht Creek. Still suffering from her husband’s suicide, Kylah’s only focus is work. But her concentration is broken when she meets U.S. Marshal Wolf Stockton and the body of a young reenactor is found, shot through the heart with a vintage rifle.

Is it revenge, an accidental shooting, or a hint that opposing forces in the community are boiling over? Those questions turn personal for Wolf and Kylah when her life is endangered. Into the exciting world of stunt riders, tension between the university sponsoring the reenactment and a Cherokee nation tired of being wrongly blamed for everything, strolls Trouble, black cat detective.

Trouble attaches to Kylah when he realizes her vulnerability. He works with Wolf to determine who is behind the murders—and who is attempting to ambush Kylah and her horses as she gives the key performance of the reenactment. As the feline races the clock to keep Kylah safe, he also realizes the two bipeds have another deep need—for each other. He must help solve the mystery while showing his humans the path to true love.

About the author

AKA Susan Tanner, historical romance writer.

Susan Y. Tanner continues to blend her passion for horses with her passion for writing. In Trouble in Summer Valley, she introduced readers to the rescue horses of Summer Valley Ranch where they prove their worth in therapeutic riding. In Turning for Trouble, her own rodeo experience brings that rough and tumble world to life. Her third romantic mystery, Trouble in Action, showcases the risky profession of stunt riding while giving a glimpse into historical reenactments. A Whisper of Trouble provides a glimpse into a talent practiced by few...the art of horse whispering. Published by KaliOka Press, these romantic mysteries feature a super-sleuth in the form of a black cat detective. They are part of the Trouble Cat Detective series written in concert with some very talented authors.

Ms. Tanner's five historical romances--Highland Captive, Captive to a Dream, Exiled Heart, Fire Across Texas, Winds Across Texas, and A Warm Southern Christmas (a novella)--have been rereleased by Secret Staircase Books, an imprint of Columbine Publishing. All were previously published by Leisure Books.

Trouble in Action By Susan Y. Tanner was a very intriguing addition to the Cat Detective Familiar Legacy series. Ms. Tanner's descriptive writing made me feel like I was with Kylah, Wolf and Trouble as the story unfolds.

I was mesmerized by the information regarding stunt riders and how Kylah became involved in the business. Plus there was not one but two murders for Trouble to solve in this one. Kylah was a likable heroine with a sad past that she is still dealing with when she arrives at the Albrecht Creek reenactment. U.S. Marshal Wolf Stock is an alpha male with a heart of gold that immediately takes to Kylah. He senses her pain and vows to protect her when she becomes a target. A quickly paced plot with no real suspects and a complex mystery that develops as I continued to read. I do believe that Trouble may be my favorite detective.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. All of the above opinions are my own.

I jumped at the chance to read and review an e-ARC of this book, offered by Carolyn Haines, one of the contributors to this series. Trouble is a special, no, amazing, no, incredible cat who just happens to be adept at solving or helping to solve murders. While his owner is visiting a small town in North Carolina, he has time to get involved with a couple of folks: a female horse trainer/rider who is performing in a Civil War reenactment, and a Cherokee U S Marshall who happens to meet her.
No more about the plot, which is deliciously convoluted, by the way! The relationship back story almost, but not quite overshadows the solving of the murders. Two of them!
A little on the edgy and sexy side of cozy. I highly recommend it.

Trouble in Action by Susan Y. Tanner kept me totally intrigued as the story had to do with stunt riders and war re-enactment. I felt as if I was right there with Kylah on the horses, as well as Wolf and Trouble.
Mystery, romance, dead bodies, twists and turns to keep you turning the pages.
Not forgetting the great cat Detective Trouble and his way of protecting and getting involved.
So sit back and enjoy the “ride.”

I received an ARC prior to publication and decided to voluntarily review it. Opinions are my own.

I really enjoy Susan Tanner's works about Trouble. Trouble in Action is #10 in the series written by a group of ladies taking turns. They must have so much fun.
This one is about a civil war reanactment ish. Susan's ability to cover all the bases and keep things on tract with a little fall back to a previous book of hers is amazing.
She will keep you entertained and trying to figure out who is the bad guy until she tells you.
Great read. Keep up the good work and look forward to more trouble.
Cheers

In Trouble in action, Trouble is in North Carolina where his human, Tammy Lynn, is attending to several writers and book signing functions. This gives Trouble some free time which he spent following a young intoxicated women around growing increasingly worried about her safety and well-being. Wolf is in the same bar and watches as the woman is bothered by some pushy guys and decides to protect her.
Kylah agrees to let Wolf take her to her hotel where he leaves her to sleep off the alcohol excess.
Kylah is a stunt rider on horses she trains to perfection. She was contracted to perform at the first annual re-enactment of the battle of Albrecht Creek.
She and her right hand man have been practicing daily but on the day following the drinking session a woman was killed with an old Calvary style revolver. Wolf is asked by the local sheriff to assist in the case and gets to meets Kylah and Jake, her assistant, officially.
Kylah had been drinking on the anniversary of her husband's suicide 5 years earlier and thinks she never will get over it.
On one of the practice days for the re-enactment, someone is shooting at Kylah. This causes Wolf serious concerns as he is starting to be rather attracted to Kylah.
Trouble is meantime investigating the murder of the woman by her tent as well as following Kylah around and attending to interviews with potential witnesses or guilty parties. At a practise session Trouble finds a rope strung between trees which would cause Kylah's horse to fall and potentially crush her. Luckily he gets Wolf there in time to cut the rope just before Kylah arrives galloping through the trees ready for the jump.
This brings Kylah and Wolf even closer together and makes them realize they have something special going on.
The organizer of the re-enactment event is a very arrogant guy whose wife will be participating in the re-enactment although he is against it.
On the first day of the event Kylah will be doing the jumps with her horse so Wolf uses all the manpower he can get to ensure the path is clear and there are no traps. On arrival at the meeting place Wolf realises there is danger, he yells at Kylah to get down which she did just as two gunshots are heard. Kylah is ok but the wife of the organizer is fatally shot.
Wolf goes to collect the organizer to take him to the hospital to say his farewells and then goes to see one of his long time buddies who always had loved the woman although she had married another guy. He is totally devastated and had been seeing the woman regularly for an ongoing affair.
Kylah and Wolf relationship is developing very fast meantime, they realize that they love each other and they are worried about what will happen when Kylah goes back home. The rest of the event was cancelled and the FBI called in to assist in solving two murders and two attempted murders.
Trouble attends the meetings and continues to study clues; he guides Wolf and the doubting sheriff and investigator to study a plan which was in the office of the organizer.
Later as he is waiting with Kylah for Wolf to come back, they hear a truck stop at the office trailer. Kylah and Trouble go to investigate and find the event organizer trying to sneak out a Calvary revolver which has all the makings of the gun used to shoot his wife. Trouble meantime drops a vase from a sideboard making a huge racket attracting the attention of Jake and Wolf who just arrived back. With their combined efforts they manage to get Kylah out and the man disarmed before Trouble attacks his legs for good measure.

Having solved the cases Wolf had to decide whether to follow Kylah to her hometown, let her go (never) or ask her to stay in North Carolina. To his intense relief she agrees to stay and Jake will stay too.
Trouble can go back to his human Tammy knowing all is well with his detective skills and manipulation in the romantic department.

I received an Advance Reader Copy of this book for the purpose of finding typos and posting this review.

First off, I am a fan of the Familiar Legacy series, featuring Trouble the black cat detective. I came upon this series after finding the Sarah Booth mystery series by Carolyn Haines. Carolyn has penned the original series featuring Trouble's father, Familiar. She was the one to convince some of her peers to help out with the Familiar Legacy series, and so far they've all been great reads.

In Trouble In Action, we find ourselves following Kylah West as she bar-hops and is totally blitzed (drunk). Kylah catches the eye of Wolf Stockton, a Cherokee of the local tribe who is also a deputy of the Marshall Service and Trouble, who is in town with his human Tammy Lynn at a book conference. Both Wolf and Trouble realize that Kylah, in her current intoxicated state, could be the flashpoint of some trouble. Wolf manages to get her back to her hotel room without incident - however the incident happens elsewhere.

In the morning we follow Wolf as he is called to the fairgrounds where the College of the Carolinas Albrecht Campus is holding their First Annual Reenactment of the Battle of Albrecht Creek. A woman in full period costume has been shot through the heart at her campsite. Wolf is called as a courtesy by the sheriff to the scene, as the fairgrounds abut the Qualla Boundary, property of the Cherokee Nation.

What follows is a very well though out and intricate tale of following the clues (and lack thereof) of the mystery of the murder of the woman. Kylah herself is targeted, and Wolf does his best to keep Kylah safe... as they both feel the attraction to each other start to develop into something more.

I mention a lack thereof of clues, as this tale will keep you guessing until the end as to whodunit. It is carefully crafted yet keeps you reading to find out more. Trouble has his paws full in helping to solve the mystery and keeping Kylah safe.

This is the third tale penned by Susan Y. Tanner for the Familiar Legacy series. She has done a great job penning these stories for Trouble, and is a delight to read. Look no further if you're in the mood for a light romance to go with your murder mystery.

Of another note, please read to the end - this series features "Trouble's Double". We the fans of the Familiar Legacy series all love black cats, and Carolyn, Susan et al let us show off our sable furred friends. This book happens to feature one of my fosters, Wanda Bellatrix Feline. If at the end of reading any of the Familiar Legacy stories you find yourself wishing for a feline companion of the sable hue, please check out your local animal rescue. There are a lot of cats, black or otherwise, looking for a great home and a wonderful human to boss around. You won't be sorry.

The latest adventure of Trouble and Tammy Lynn takes them to North Carolina for a book conference, soon afterwards, Trouble is out and about with his latest charge, Kylah West, an expert horse trainer, who encounters Wolf Stockton at the first annual Battle of Albrecht Creek Civil War Reenactment after a murder had been committed on the grounds. Trouble sensing a case is afoot at the reenactment show, works with Ms. Kylah and Wolf, the Deputy of the Cherokee Nation Marshall Services, to solve a murder and several accidents of several Civil War reenactment participants before someone else becomes the next casualty?

The characters of Kylah and Wolf have an immediate connection that is explored fully in this romantic mystery with a humorous flair which is a very nice touch in this story. One of my favorite scenes is their hilarious dialogue about who owned Trouble, who followed them during the event. The scene of Tammy Lynn and Wolf discussing Trouble's remarkable sleuthing abilities is another great scene of this agile feline. The author adds a very healthy dose of humor in the romantic scenes that provide comedic relief with the characters following a black cat’s lead of finding clues to a murder mystery, much to their amazement.

The author gives the reader a brief overview of the Civil War reenactment along with some history regarding Wolf’s Cherokee heritage. I love the fact two of the characters are Native American and through their conversations do give a brief glimpse about their cultural values that is entertaining as well as a learning experience for this reader.

The story has a slow start in the beginning of the book which is a slight drawback. The plot does pick up once the murder victim is discovered at the campsite that continues at a very good pace that kept this reader’s interest throughout this book to the very end. Ms. Tanner makes several good references to a previous Trouble adventure story, which is a plus for readers who want more adventures with Trouble and his crew in this book series.

I gave this book a four star rating for the realistic character development and a good solid storyline. This is a nice light read that is perfect for a quiet weekend at home. If you love books with a smart feline detective with a cast of great realistic characters, this book is for you. I will continue to read more of the Trouble, the fabulous cat detective mystery series in the near future.

I was given an ARC for a honest book review.

[Claire Matturro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Trouble in Action is a cozy mystery/romantic suspense novel, featuring Trouble, the Sherlock Holmes of cat detectives. True to its blended genres, the book is delightful, fast paced, with a touch of whimsy, while still offering serious sleuthing, an authentic set-up, and compelling characters.

This is also Susan Tanner’s third book in a 10-book Familiar Legacy series featuring Trouble, the black cat detective. Her prior books in this on-going series are Trouble in Summer Valley and Turning for Trouble. While her newest book keeps the romance and charm of her first two, Tanner ups her game with Trouble in Action with heightened suspense and intricate plotting with not one, but two murders set against the backdrop of a troubled-plagued Civil War re-enactment.

For those not familiar with the series, the Familiar legacy books are the original brain-child of award-winning, best-selling author Carolyn Haines. But the ten books (and counting) in the series are authored by a rotation of women writers with variations in setting and style. Yet all have Trouble, the black cat detective, as an active point of view and engaging sleuth. Don’t let the cat detective aspects fool you though—the books, like Trouble in Action, are strong mysteries with classic romances.

Aside from Trouble, the book focuses on the two romantic leads: pretty, strong, yet emotionally wounded Kylah West, a horse trainer and stunt rider, and attentive, protective Wolf Stockton, a U.S. Marshal with strong ties to the Cherokee Nation, who also works with troubled teens.

Romance readers will have much to enjoy in the book, as will mystery readers. As with most cozy mysteries, and more assuredly with animal cozies, Trouble in Action requires a bucket full of willing suspension of disbelief. But that’s all part of the fun, excitement, and the pure escapist lure of such books.

[Reviewer’s Note: In the interest of full disclosure, I was the author of the third book in this series of ten books.]

Trouble and his human, Tammylynn, are in Albrecht, North Carolina. While she is the emcee for a writer's conference for the weekend Trouble sees a woman who might need looking after. He follows her while she bar hops and at the last one she catches the eye of Wolf Stockton. He's concerned when he sees her dancing alone but when she successfully gets rid of two men bent on dancing with her, he relaxes. He takes her back to hotel and Trouble tags along.

Wolf leaves her in her room along with his name and number. When Kylah wakes the next morning to the note and a cat she doesn't know. She is in Albrecht for the first annual College of the Carolinas reenactment weekend. She's a horse trainer who's brought her specially trained horses for the weekend but Trouble senses a sadness inside and stays close.

Meanwhile, Wolf finds himself outside the fairgrounds investigating the death of a young woman. The location is on the border between the fairgrounds and Cherokee tribal lands. He's a Deputy with the Tribal Marshall service so the dead woman gals into his pervue. When he meets up with Kylah after Trouble senses that the dead girl didn't of natural causes and decides to help investigate. When it seems that Kylah might be the next victim Wolf and Trouble steps in to save her.

Another great installment on the continuing adventures of Trouble, the great detective.

[CarolKat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Kylah is in town for the Civil War reenactment. On her first night she goes out on the town where she meets Wolf. Well sort of, she's drunk and he secures her back in her hotel.

Trouble is actually with his bi-ped Tammy Lynn, she's attending a book conference and out and about with authors and friends. When he gets bored he decides to follow Kaylah, just to be sure she stays safe. Tammy Lynn knows he'll be back so doesn't worry.

Now Wolf is a Deputy with the Cherokee Nation Marshal Service, and the morning that little escapade he's called in to a murder scene. The victim was found by one of the tribe's children. The unfortunate thing is the murder is on the grounds where the reenactment is scheduled.

Lots of suspense with Trouble sniffing out clues. I like that Wolf doesn't doubt his sleuthing abilities.

Kylah's horses are just as amazing as her riding abilities, I loved the interactions with her foreman and how she doesn't back down from anyone.

Lots of fun as Wolf sneaks his way into her heart and Trouble solves the mystery all while keeping Kylah safe.

Trouble the cat has found another human who needs his special skills. Stunt rider Kylah West is in North Carolina as a paid participant in a war reenactment. At the same time, she is having trouble letting go of her own past. An evening of drinking puts her in front of both Trouble and a Cherokee marshal, who makes sure she stays safe. But morning brings murder to the site of the reenactment, and when Kylah is shot at, too, both the marshal and Trouble kick in to high gear to solve the murder and protect Kylah.
There are plenty of interesting twists along the way, and a strong sense of the community of reenacters, along with the not so peaceful world of academics. Trouble is his usual clever self, making believers out of anyone who's paying attention.
I was a little disappointed that the mystery seemed to take a back seat to the romance in this story. I still enjoyed reading it, but would have liked a bit more mystery and a lot more Trouble.
This voluntary review is based on an ARC from the publisher.

[Donna Townsend · Rating 5 out of 5]

When Trouble sees a drunken Kylah in a bar, in true fashion he looks out for her. Luckily, Wolf, a true knight in shining armour, does the same, and sees her to her hotel, leaving a note describing where she’d left her truck. She awakens with one heck of a hangover and one sharp detective cat.
She is in town with her horses to attend a Civil War reenactment. The setting is a character in the story, a college town located near a sprawling Cherokee reservation. Not everyone is pleased about this new historical event especially after a body turns up.
The story is rich with local color as the trio, Trouble, Wolf, and Kylah, seek to discover who killed the young history teacher. And we have romance, of course! Kylah is one tough lady who is not seeking romance. But Wolf . . .sigh!
The book is fun, the setting interesting and unique, and Trouble, well, he’s in fine form. Always a bit stuffy, you understand. But he gets the job done! Don’t miss this one!

[Becky Burciaga · Rating 5 out of 5]

Susan Tanner’s tenth installment of the Familiar Legacy has all the delightful elements of its predecessors, equating to entertaining and absorbing reading. From its onset, I was drawn into Trouble’s latest protection detail that quickly evolves into a historical re-enactment murder case. Through clever dialog, believable cat musings, and characters who are realistic in their personalities and actions, I found myself quickly turning the pages...and with each new revelation that changed directions of the investigation, but not this kitty’s focus, this plot drove the rapid pace from beginning to end. And even though you may think you know where the story is leading, the unexpected will catch you unprepared and provide a very satisfying conclusion to the story.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the author. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

[Judy Dickerson · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another great addition to the Familiar Legacy Series, Trouble in Action is Susan Tanner’s third book in the series, & again combines Trouble with her love of horses. Her lead is Kylah, a stunt rider from CA, doing a Civil War re-enactment. Trouble, in MC with Tammy Lynn for a book conference, sees Kylah & realizes she needs help. So does Marshall to the Cherokee Nation Wolf. The two males- human & feline— see her safely home. But, soon there is a murder to be solved. Worse, it seems Kylah may be next.
My test for any book in a series is always whether it can stand on its own, & Trouble in Action can. But any reader will fall in love with the Black Cat Detective & want to read them all. Another wonderful, fun, Trouble cozy

Trouble saves the day!

This is my first "Trouble" story and I absolutely loved it! Trouble's human is Tammy Lynn but she knows that he will be where he needs to be to solve a mystery, in this case, two murders. The story is funny, romantic, and has a great storyline. The characters are lovable and relatable and there are a lot of twists and turns in this book to keep you turning the pages while you try to figure out the murderer.

The information about the Civil War reenactment and the horses was particularly interesting to read.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advance Reader Copy.

Kylah West trains and performs stunts on horses and has been hired to participate in a civil war reenactment. When one of the participants has been found dead the entire event may have to be canceled. Trouble, the great cat detective realizes that Kylah is vulnerable and is going to need his help.
This story has the perfect balance of mystery, romance, and twist and turns that will keep you in suspense and guessing until the end.

Hello My name is Trouble and I help solve crimes. Sounds interesting-right? Oh did I mention I'm a cat? I belong to Tammy Lynn who allows me to travel around and do what I love.This time around I'm helping protect Kylah West-a stunt rider and solve the murder of Maisy McGuire ( a Civil War reenactor). Wolf Stockton is the man in charge of trying to figure out who wants to harm Kykah and who wanted Maisy dead. A non stop read full of action and suspense.

Trouble, the Cat Detective to the rescue! His love for bipeds and his Sherlock Holmes-ian deductive skills save the day (or the Civil War reenactment to be more exact).

Trouble in Action by Susan Y. Tanner is a fantastic mystery with lots of twists, turns, romance, and, of course, Trouble.

Antique weapons, civil war uniforms, and murder, what has Trouble gotten into now?

Kylah West
Kylah is professionally known as K.T. West. She is a horse trainer/stunt woman who usually works in Hollywood, but she has been contracted to do a Civil War reenactment in Albrecht Creek, North Carolina. Kylah is a widow who is finally getting over her husband's death.

I like Kylah. She is strong, intelligent, and faces life head-on. At first, I wasn't sure what was going through her head, but once I understood, she made the perfectly damaged heroine. I also like her loyalty to her friend Jake and even her acceptance of Trouble.

Wolf Stockman
Wolf is a US Marshall but spends most of his time working with local teenagers. He has lived in Albrecht Creek and the surrounding hills his whole life. Wolf is a person that people come to with their problems, and he does his best to help them. Much as with Kylah, I wasn't sure if I was going to like Wolf or not. Yet, right away, he proves how much of a gentleman he is.

Wolf is a man of integrity, honesty, and manners. The most endearing is that he is kind to animals. He immediately saw that Trouble wasn't your ordinary black cat and treated him with respect. The way he carries himself and handles those in charge of him is caring but not too forward. He is a good guy.

The Mystery
Albrecht University and the Albrecht Historical Society have put together a reenactment of a Civil War battle. Kylah is hired to play one of the Calvary leads with her horses, adding to the actual feel of the battle. At the same time, several other participants are at the fairgrounds for the many different parts required. I have never been to a reenactment, but I can only assume the amount of people it would take to make that happen. What a place for a murder? People are camping everywhere, wearing all different types of uniforms, street clothes, and the like. There are locals mixed with the reenactors and students who are there to watch. Good luck trying to find the person who killed the lady and why.

Amid the mystery is the romance, which is put together well. I enjoyed the banter of the two trying to figure each other out. Wolf and Kylah seem made for each other. Well, the person that each is in this part of their lives.

I love how Ms. Tanner introduces Tammy Lynn to Trouble's newest wards. She even gives them a heads-up about his talent and a way to contact Tammy Lynn when Trouble has solved the case and is ready to go home.

Five Stars
My rating for Trouble in Action by Susan Y. Tanner is five stars. I love these mysteries and the way they give Trouble's point of view and that of the investigating couple. I recommend these stories. Each book can be read alone or with the others. I am hoping to catch up on this series this year.

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Trouble in Action by Susan Y. Tanner.

Until the next time,

This reenactment is getting serious!

The investigation of a murder at a Civil War Reenactment event needs the help of an experienced detective and Trouble is the cat investigator for the job. There are too many suspects and too many crimes. The killer has to be found before there is another victim!

I liked the Civil War Reenactment setting mixed in with a university. It created a lot of possible scenarios and throwing in some romance made it even better!
