4.0 out of 5 stars whimsical whodunit second chance at love , June 1, 2008
Three years have passed since her spouse died, but Jillian Marsh has not moved on; she still grieves her loss and questions whether life is worth living. However, last Halloween, lightning hit Jillian. The only after effect is she can communicate with cats like a Dr. Doolittle.

Finally, on a rainy March night in the Sierras (that is an oxymoron for that season and locale) Jillian considers suicide as she never got the chance to apologize to her husband for doing him wrong and she suffers from TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder); the third Seconal and fourth Drambuie add to her melancholy. However before she takes her life, Atherton the cat, whom she never met, arrives to inform her that a murder just occurred. Jillian informs new sheriff Tyler Murphy. As he tries to keep her out of his inquiry, she refuses to stay on the sidelines. Meanwhile the townsfolk refuse to assist the sheriff on his investigation; so Jillian turns to the feline population as they are determined to see the killer pay and expect the woman who can understand them to take care of justice for them.

This whimsical whodunit second chance at love is stolen by the feline crowd especially Atherton, who fits TS Eliot's quote (at the beginning of the tale of the tail): "When a Cat adopts you there is nothing to be done about it except to put up with it until the wind changes." Although a bit padded with too much cat litter at times, fans will enjoy this lighthearted frolic in which cats serves as witnesses to the crime and as matchmakers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Slow, Little Suspense, November 4, 2008
In A CURIOUS AFFAIR, Melanie Jackson's prose is smooth and her description of a present-day Gold Country backroads town is well detailed. However, there is almost no plot. Description dominates, pace is glacial, and suspense almost non-existent. The gimmick of a woman struck by lightning [before the story starts] who gains the ability to hear cats talking to her is interesting, but it's all that is unique in the book. A slow sleepy read, with no suspect but the man she believes is guilty, though I liked the cats.

2.0 out of 5 stars Sorry I agree with so don't tell, September 24, 2008
I also only read 3 chapter and found I couldn't read any more. As I have never left a bad review and wrote many this was bad. But like I said I only read 3 chapter.
