Around 3.5 stars (the rating shown may vary depending on site)

This was free on Amazon when I downloaded it. I've liked other mysteries that involved cats, so I had high hopes.

There are a few chapters that are from the cat's point of view, including the first chapter. I do appreciate the way that the author shapes the cat's thoughts, but having the first chapter be in the cat's point of view was a bit confusing to me.

I liked it, but I didn't love it. Which is to say that if a later book in the series crossed my path free or at a deeply discounted price, I'd probably read it, but it's not a series that I'm actively seeking out the next book. ( )

The Great Catsby (A NOLA Tail Mystery Book 1) by B.K. Baxter

An original cozy murder mystery told from two points of view, that of Jade and her lovable cat. With a classic who-done-it style, plenty of suspects, twists and turns, I was hooked from the first page. Overall I found The Great Catsby very enjoyable and feel those who love (cozy) murder/mysteries will enjoy it as well. ( )
