Tari's Reviews > The Big Kitty

Ohhh I just love this sweet cat! There were times when I was ready to cry over what he'd experienced in his life. I wanted to cuddle him and tell him he'd be ok. That was one of the cool parts of this third-person mystery. I liked how the author got inside the various characters and gave their viewpoints, including Shadow the cat. Once he spotted Sunny who had moved back home to take care of her dad who was a post-heart attack patient, Shadow knew he'd found his forever human. The mystery was a good one with plenty of great suspects, action and threats. Sunny worked part-time as a news reporter for the local paper and started working on a story about the local cat lady's suspicious death. This apparently riled enough people to want to go after her with various types of threats, one of which Sunny and her dad were saved by Shadow's actions.

I only had a slight suspicion about the killer and loved the little twist that came at the end. The whole showdown was really exciting and Shadow finally got to have his revenge on someone he knew as a bad person. It's a shame that this was a short-lived series, but I plan to read and savor all of the rest of the books in it.
