Meow Means Murder - Jinty James (Norwegian Forest Cat Caf Cozy Mysteries, Book 2)

Meow Means Murder - Jinty James (Norwegian Forest Cat Café Cozy Mysteries, book 2)

Synopsis

A gorgeous Norwegian Forest Cat, a cat café, a food critic, and … murder! The small town of Gold Leaf Valley is aflutter with a food critic’s arrival. His online column has made him famous in this part of Northern California, but not everyone is pleased he’s in town. When café owners Lauren Crenshaw and Annie, her silver-gray tabby, stumble across his body, what should they do? Investigate the crime themselves? Or … leave it to the police? Is Lauren under suspicion for delivering pastries to the dead man’s motel room? Or did his intern bump him off in order to gain a promotion? Lauren’s cousin Zoe is keen to help investigate the crime. But are there too many red herrings in this case to uncover the truth? Zoe is also busy turning knitting club into knitting/crochet club and teasing Lauren about her budding romance with attractive Detective Mitch Denman. Can the trio uncover the truth about the food critic’s death – before the killer strikes again? This is a fun, clean, cat cafe cozy mystery with female amateur sleuths – and a beautiful Norwegian Forest Cat!

My Thoughts

It didn’t take too long for Annie, the titular Norwegian Forest cat, to steal the show in this book. From showing customers to their seats, finding lost teddy bears, and even sniffing – or meowing – out murder, Annie is a cat of many talents.

And while she’s busy being adored and fawned upon by customers and her owners alike, Lauren and Zoe, the aforementioned owners, are puzzling out the mystery of the murdered food critic.

And honestly, the guy got what was coming to him. But I digress.

This book was fast paced in that it was fairly easy reading. Annie kept the flow going, tending to customers in the café in her own way, while Lauren puzzled out the mystery – while definitely not getting involved, and not crushing on the handsome detective in town.

But one thing that bothers me about this book is the relationship between Lauren and Zoe. They’re cousins, but Lauren tends to scold Zoe like a mother would a child. They’re both grown adults, but Lauren tends to scold Zoe for being herself – outspoken and straightforward. And that doesn’t quite sit right with me.

Despite that, I still find myself hooked on this series. I enjoy the twists and turns, and I definitely enjoy Annie’s contributions to the story!

With this mystery all wrapped up (and while I still say the murder victim was a scumbag), it’s onto the next one for our clever feline and her humans.

The fact that Tsubomi didnt end up as Mob's gf and became her friend is so important, it strenghtes the entire friendship motif of the series have and breaks the trope of there having to be romance between a boy and a girl, the friendzone isnt bad its just that ppl have been conditioned to think that it is, for Mob and Tsubomi could be one of the best things that happened in their lives. Im sure she wanted to have a friend that she could open up to without being judged and without having the risk of her being seen as just a love interest by them. I have the feeling that Tsubomi would enjoy being silly once in a while, leave the "school idol" status she has and I think Mob also likes to be silly! Based on the cake prank on reigen at the epilogue and Mob telling Dimple he didnt remember him during the Mogami Arc, Id love to see them being silly together as besties, laughing together loudly at dumb shit or messing with their other friends. Maybe at some point he invites her to hang out with the rest of his friends, going shopping w Teru, hanging out w the telepathy club, or just anything really, she deserves more true friends. And since tsubomi isnt impressed by anything psychic/supernatural related, Mob can tell her about his little shenanigans at spirits n such without being weirded out or anything, she'll just listen and its the same for Mob's side, he's good at understanding and giving a safe place to speak, I know I said it already but she really needs true friends that wouldnt wish bad things upon her or see her as a prize.
