Lending a Paw
Laurie Cass
2013, 344 pages
Fiction
Another one to add to the “Librarian with a Cat” cozy mystery genre, Lending a Paw takes the genre on the road in a bookmobile.
Having a cat on board the maiden voyage of the bookmobile she fought so hard to start wasn’t in her plan. Finding a dead body was also not in the days’ plan.
Soon, librarian Minnie Hamilton learns that life with a cat generally doesn’t go according to plan.
The gray-and-white tabby, Eddie, not only accompanies Minnie on her bookmobile runs, but he also follows her to research who the killer really is, when the cops don’t seem to be taking it seriously.
With Eddie’s help, Minnie just might be able to catch the killer, before the killer catches her.
Lending a Paw is a fun trip on a bookmobile with a cat, and is followed by a charming sequel, Tailing a Tabby.
