Castles, Catnip & Murder: (A Dickens & Christie Mystery Book 5)
Interesting mystery and lots of Arthurian history mentions
While I'm not familiar enough with yoga to have appreciated all the
references to it in the story, I have seen comments here and there about
cat yoga, so that wasn't a stretch, pun intended, to me. Although I was
wary of the idea of talking animals when I first encountered this
series, it's nicely done and while Christie, the cat, and Dickens, the
dog, may talk to main character Leta, they retain their animal
characteristics and don't come off as magical in any way.
That aside,
while they play a role in solving the crime, it's Leta and her friends
who are at the center of the story. Leta's "across the pond" boyfriend
even gets into the act via regular calls while Leta and the LOL (you'll
have to read the book to discover what this stands for here) investigate
and, yes, put themselves in danger's way. You'll like them, even while
occasionally wanting to shake them and urge caution. This is a great
series and, as noted above, I found myself learning more about the
legend of Arthur and the continuing research into it as I read. Oh, my
dog says, "Four paws and a tail wag", which I translated to mean five
stars. Well, either that or "feed me".
