4.0 out of 5 stars
A good collection for general mystery readers, January 24, 2012
This review is from: More Mystery Cats (Signet) (Paperback)
This is a collection of fourteen short stories that in some way involve a cat. Generally, the cats are minor characters, and are animals, Lillian Jackson Braun's Madame Phloi being an exception. Included are both new stories and older tales by the likes of Dorothy L. Sayers and P. G. Wodehouse. The moods vary and the stories are all well written; there were no under-par stories. Kristine Kathryn Rusch's "Little Miracles" was very moving if rather heart-rending. Recommended for general mystery readers.

Excellent Book!, October 19, 2011
This review is from: More Mystery Cats (Signet) (Paperback)
I love clean mysteries (very little gore, almost no sex) and I love cats. This book combines the two and is a fun read. I stayed up all night just to finish the book. It was worth it! I will be adding to my collection soon.
