Okay, yes, this IS a murder mystery, but Ms. Kelly always manages to inject some very comedic sequences into her stories. She really 'hooks' you by doing this in the most unexpected places. I gave this 2nd in the Magical Cat series a 5+++ because of the 'kick-boxing grandmother' character. This is a prize-winner of a scene & [if in a film would only] should be played by Jane Fonda! I don't see an audio book available, so I will submitting her 2 titles to the CNIB to see if they will add them to their books for the blind. I tried to read it aloud to my husband, but I just can't keep from laughing - this book & the first one are really, really good. Unfortunately, while this one includes a "taste" of book 3, there doesn't seem to be a publication date available as yet. If you like murders, small towns, & are [perhaps, in danger of being..] a crazy cat lady...you will definitely have fun with this story.
