Katz becomes a Cokenburger! Excellent Story!
The Cats that Stalked a Ghost by Karen Anne Golden is wonderfully funny. I don’t know what made Katz think she could get married without incident and that’s not even counting the Siamese ring bearers. Cute idea but kind of crazy, lots of laughing.
I like that Ms. Golden has built her town with unique and quirky characters. It feels like small-town life where you have friends and not-so-friends that you interact with daily. People that share your life and know your business whether you would like them to or not. I truly liked the neighborly attitude of the people of Erie and the way they pull together in emergencies and celebrations. It is so mid-western. This is a great cozy mystery.
Katz sees the good in people, as with Stevie Sanders, who had been in a few of the books and it is nice to see that he is changing his life for the better. His sister, Barbie remains slightly flaky even though she has improved her life too.
Jake is such a sweetheart. He and Katz are a great match. The love and respect they have for each other and their cats is inspiring. I look forward to them tackling the next mystery together. Nine heads are better that one, three, five, oh you get the picture.
Kudos to Ms. Golden for such an outstanding installment. I find that I thoroughly enjoy this series. Therefore my rating for The Cats that Stalked a Ghost is 5 Stars. If you haven’t read this book or series check it out, it’s worth the time. My review of The Cats that Watched the Woods might interest you.
