A perrfect mystery

Wow, I just loved this book. Not only is there a good mystery balanced out by family drama but they is lots of cats, what's not to love? I like the characters but I think it is the mystery that really works for me. The author has weaved a clever plot where two mysteries unfold. Also the author had me looking in the wrong direction throughout the entire book for the main case, but thinking back on the story there was hints that should have given me a clue, I was just too busy thinking the killer was obvious. I might just have to re listen to the story and pay closer attention. It must have been all the plans for the Cozy cat cafe that distracted me, it just sounds delightful. This is book two in the series and in a way does continue on from the first book as Maddy learns how to cope with her new family but it is written well enough that it could be listened to as a standalone but why would you want to miss out on the rest of this fun series? And as it takes place in a small town we have met many of the characters already. I hope the author has plans for a lot more books in this series.
Emily and Henry's newly fostered daughter isn't coping very well going to a new school where she doesn't know anybody. Emily is also struggling to get on with the new head of the department, so the last thing Emily needs is to be informed that there is a dead body in the rented cottage next to there house. The dead lady was a lawyer here to enter her cat into a competition to find the next kitty to feature as the cat food mascot. Hoping to cheer up Maddy, Emily enters into the cat competition but learns that one of the contestants might have had a motive to kill the lawyer. Was she killed over who she defended as a lawyer? Or is it complicated than that? Just as Maddy is coming out of her shell and finds something she is passionate about a long lost uncle turns up, ready to take her back to Scotland with him. Emily and Henry have there hands full trying to find a way to keep Maddy with them like her dead mother wanted, do they really have time to find a killer? Can Emily also find away to get rid of the new head who is making everybody's lives miserable?
I liked the narrator. She has a nice sounding voice that she uses well to tell the story and each each character there own voice.
