Kitten Kaboodle is book 20 in The Zoe Donovan series. Kathi Daley has done it again with a book filled with another great mystery. It is full of excitement, fun, and of course murder. I was so excited to see Nona back in town. Her character is a hoot and loves to tell it like it is with no filter. A woman after my own heart.
Zoe is in for quite an adventure when Nona shows up in town on her pink Harley. Not to mention Zak and the kids are out of town. Nona teams up with Aspen, an animal activist who is trying to shut down a kitten mill owner who is beyond cruel! Here comes the bad luck for Zoe when the owner of the kitten mill is found dead in her barn and Zoe has a box full of sick kittens show up at her doorstep??? Who killed Edna Leech and why? There are a ton of suspects and motives for Zoe to sort through. YIKES!
This is a must read series. Can't wait to find out what adventures await the gang next. ( )

Hard to believe this is the 20th Zoe Donovan mystery. Kathi's flagship series features an interesting and sometimes quirky cast of characters that inhabit a fictional town that sits on a lake much like Lake Tahoe. Each book features a mystery but more important to Kathi's readers each book also features a glimpse into her characters lives and the workings of a small town. The plots are multi-threaded and the characters are allowed to grow and change and even learn from their mistakes. The books are clean reads and while they center around a murder there is no graphic descriptions of blood and gore. They are true to the cozy genre. Additionally the books are well edited both for content and flow and for errors.

Each book is a standalone and while there is usually a hint of what may next these are not cliff hangers. I would suggest that your read the series in order though as the characters to grow and change through the books. ( )

Zoe Donovan is all grown up. That doesn't mean she will keep her nose for trouble in check.
With Zak and the kids all away, who will get in more trouble - Zoe or her pink leather wearing, motorcycle riding honorary grandmother?

Besides the cozy mystery we all look forward to from Kathi Daley, we get another full helping of best friend drama and dilemma. Plus a cuddle full of kittens to fall for!

Even when the murder mystery seems solved, there is a twist that sends Sheriff Salinger back to square one. It takes him and Zoe talking it out together to figure out the timeline between all of the suspects and people with motive. Even then, Zoe and Nona are in for a surprise!

You will enjoy all the subtle mentions of past situations best if you have read previous books in this series, especially the onset of Zimmermans before Zoe and Zak's wedding.
The three best friends of Zoe, Ellie and Levi are once again in for some tumultuous emotional experiences. We have to stay tuned to see how these events will play out ( )
