Bee's knees

Okay I enjoyed the author's book Nine lives to live (book 10 in the series) but felt I had missed a lot of the plot history so I went back to the beginning to discover what I had missed. On the whole I did enjoy the audio book but with the box set containing four books I did find some information and sayings got repetitive. Still not sure why or how Tatania is magical, other than always turning up in different places but she is a cute and friendly cat so who cares. The stories are set in the past, at a time when women were thought of as second class citizens, so Grace with her if it good enough for him its good enough for me attitude is a great character and I came to also like Jack. The four stories are very different with two being murder investigations, one a theft and one well just weird, I really didn't like book four and think the box set would have been better if it was left off.
Splendid summer is an introduction to the characters and how Grace's uncle is murdered leaving her penniless and with an aunt who despise her. Good job Grace mets Jack a Pinkerton agent and his clever cat. Can the three of them find her uncle's killer and enough money to pay for her hotel room before getting kicked out
Emeralds, Diamonds and Amethysts. I think this one was my favourite as the story took a few twists.
A ladies jewerly is stolen and she hired Grace and Jack to find it before her husband discovers the are missing or even what each gem stands for?
Cher Ami. Two people drop dead after eating in Jack and Grace's favourite restaurant. Can they find the killer? And which one was the target? The old man who fed the pigeons every day in honour of the bird who saved his son during the war? Did the son's wife kill him for money? Or what about the other victim who acted like a homeless person but was rich, could her cruelty to her dogs have got her killed?
A Christmas Fera. I didn't like this book but that could be because it was loosely based on the Scrooge stroy and when as a judge he rules in favour of killing all the cats he is visited by three cats to show him the error of his ways.
I liked the narrator. She used a wide variety of voices for the characters.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
