Scratch the Surface by Susan Conant 3 stars

Felicity Pride is the author of cat cozy mysteries. She comes home from a book signing to find a dead body and a live cat in her vestibule. Felicity ends up adopting the cat and the dead man's other cat. I liked the humor involved when events don't follow the way Felicity thinks they should based on her extensive knowledge of cozy mysteries. There are a few short chapters told from the cats perspective but they were scattered enough so as not to annoy me. The book is a fun parody of cozy mysteries. I’m disappointed the author didn’t write more cat mysteries. I liked this better than the one dog mystery of hers I’ve read.
