Crafty Cat Crimes book

I have enjoyed other cat crimes books. I like a good mystery and this fits for me ... with one exception. In all these books I read with white-out in hand to change uncouth or uncalled for language. It seems to me that writers, if educated, ought to have enough appropritate-for-everyone descriptive words and a really talented writer can make a story better with a thesaurus rather than crude gray matter.

THE BEST OF TWO WORLDS HERE

This is one of about twenty books that I keep on my reading stand by my chair which allow me to add some quality reading time at odd moments throughout the day and indeed, the night. This is a 613 page anthology of very short mystery stories, all featuring cats in one way or another. Each of the 100 little stories here, by different authors, take only minutes to read and all feature cats either as the good guys, or in some cases the bad. Some of these stories are deadly serious while others are absolutely hilarious. I am not a big reader of mysteries but I found each of these stories, with only a few exceptions, an absolute delight. Of course I admit to being a lover of cats, finding them to be the most fascinating of all our domestic creatures. Having always been owned by one cat or another and having an uncounted number of barn cats, I find "cat watching" ranks right up there with bird watching as a pleasing pastime. Being a "dog person," this is quite a confession for me to make. This collection has several things going for it. First, the stories, as mentioned, are quite short and it takes little time to treat yourself to a combination of cat and mystery fix. Secondly, the editors have been quite meticulous in their choice of works to feature. You're going to be treated to some very, very good writing here, some by well known authors, others by not so well known. Talent is talent, and you are served up a good dose of it here. Third, if you run across a story that does not appeal to you, then you can either finish it anyway with no great loss of time or effort, or you can simply stop and move on to the next offering...good grief, you have 100 of them before you! I feel this book would appear to any reader of mysteries and know that it will appeal to any cat lover or anyone interest in both. If you fall into these categories (get it?...CATegories...sorry, little joke, could not help myself), then give yourself a treat or find a copy and give it to them as a special present. They will appreciate it. Don Blankenship The Ozarks
